Found a German lady walking along 62

[236eagledave]

Wife and I were headed for Havasu Landing this afternoon. Coming across 62 from 29 Palms we were probably 5 miles west of the 177 junction when we come across an older lady walking west. She asked if we saw an rv stuck in the sand back down the road. We hadn't. They had gotten their motorhome stuck and she went for a call back because there was no cell service. I got her in the car and headed back west a few miles but no luck. Turned around east and found him waiting for her back at the junction. Apparently she had gotten turned around and was walking the wrong direction. He had got it unstuck in the mean time and was waiting for her. She had been gone around 90 minutes by the time we brought her back and he came out and started giving her a ration of shit in German. Seemed more pissed than concerned. Anyway all ended well.

he came out... in German. Seemed more pissed than concerned.

How could you tell?

 

[HALLETT BOY]

Seems there was a movie about that exact scenario, filmed at Bagdad, outside of Barstow ...

 

[236eagledave]

How could you tell?

I'm sure he was very concerned. But his tone and the look on his face seemed pretty angry. No I didn't understand anything he said. Wife spoke very good English though.

Thank you for helping ! Idiots always blame someone else ! He probably was the one that got stuck and somehow it was her fault

 

[HgH Vltg]

Funny, until I doubled back on your post, I thought the lady I saw walking down 95 today, on my way to the landing, was who you were talking about.

The way my lady was dressed, she was definitely out here her afternoon sun walk, wearing something she should not have been wearing at her age.

Good on you for helping out.

The movie was "Bagdad Cafe" with Jack Palance. The Bagdad Cafe is still there on Old National Trails Highway in Newberry Springs. Food is not bad. Bring your own coffee cup and fly swatter!

Good for you to help her. Maybe the man was scared and that's how he reacts.

Anyways. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji41]

I've had some of my german relatives travel here not really grasping the distances and time it takes to travel this country. Unlike europe where you can get pretty much anywhere in a handful of hours, the vastness of the US doesn't seem to compute in their brains.
.
Their plans would look like this: drive to Vegas from so cal, check it out for a bit then go to SaltLakeCity for dinner, then hit up San Francisco the next morning.

I was in Tonopah Az late fri night on my way to Phoenix. Heard a couple guys talking in an Irish-Scottish accent and looking at a map, turning it around and such. I asked if I could help them and where were they headed. They said Vegas. I looked at them for a second and thought "the only place Tonopah is on the way to Vegas from, is Tonopah." I asked where were they traveling from? Guy said "LA airport". the rent a car guy said take the 10 east until you see the sign that says Vegas t :eek I said sorry buddy, you should have been checked in your room by now, and lost a couple of hundred at the tables. I looked at the map showed him where he was and where he should be.
He said where he's from he can't drive that far with out leaving the country,.

EnglishEdit

PronunciationEdit
(US) IPA(key): /dɔːɹk/
(UK) IPA(key): /dɔːk/
Rhymes: -ɔː(&#633k
Etymology 1Edit
US 1960s, sense of "silly person" presumably from earlier use as bowdlerization of dick ‎(?penis?) in student slang, particularly Midwest.[1][2][3][4]

A folk etymology exists claiming that the term comes from a South American term for "whale penis", but this has been debunked as a hoax.

Alternative etymology derives from dialectal Norwegian dorg ‎(?a mass; heap; a heavy, slovenly woman?).

NounEdit
dork ‎(plural dorks)

(vulgar, slang) A penis. [from the 20th c.]
1962, Jerome Weidman, The Sound of Bow Bells page 362:
As a matter of fact, this slob was full of information today. He told me why we Jews have different dorks.
2005, Mike Judge, Reading Sucks: The Collected Works of Beavis and Butthead:
"There's that dork whose wife cut off his dork." And when people ask him for an autograph he writes, "Best of luck to Betsy. Signed, the guy whose wife cut off his penis."
(pejorative, slang) A quirky, silly and/or stupid, socially inept person, or one who is out of touch with contemporary trends. Often confused with nerd and geek, but does not imply the same level of intelligence. [from the 20th c.]
1962, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Last year at Marienbad page 167:
I entitled the piece "Dorky", dork being slang for a person who does not belong to popular groups, usually an outsider, an odd person, sometimes inept, other times cranky.
1967, Don Moser and Jerry Cohen, The Pied Piper of Tucson:[1][4]
I didn?t have any clothes and I had short hair and looked like a dork. Girls wouldn?t go out with me.
Usage notesEdit
Narrowly used to indicate someone inept or out of touch, broadly used to mean simply ?silly, foolish?; compare doofus, twit.

Didn't mean to call you a penis, sorry. If I did I'd spell it "dick" anyhow[emoji41]

Same thing happened to me last year.
I was sitting in Blondies Bar and Grill in arrowbear just outside of Running Springs, and a young Australian fellow walked in asking how to get to Anchorage Alaska. Holy shit! Was my response. Where are you coming from? I asked. He said LAX... I sent him back to LA, to go up the 5 and not get too far off until he hit Canada.
What the hell made him come to the San Bernardino Mountains is beyond me. I just hope he ended up up okay.
