What 'Point Break' Taught Me

by Mr Kreeg on

1. In real life, Gary Busey is insane. In movies, Gary Busey “acts” to become normal. He is the Superman/Clark Kent of actors.

2. The greatest swells come every 50 years.

3. Dudes named “War Child” like to fight.

4. Surfing at night is super dangerous, but no one ever gets hurt doing it.

5. Opening your chute is like hanging up on a loved one, you always want them to do it first.

6. They’re called “girls” if you’re a square, and “babes” if you’re righteous.

7. Surfing is such an expensive sport to participate in that you have to rob banks or sell meth to do it every day.

8. “Vaya con dios.” NOT always a badass line.

9. Firing a gun straight into the air and screaming is the most effective way to express rage.

10. “Living to get radical” is a bad thing. (?!?)

Whiny inmate

I worked at a prison as a corrections officer (prison guard) and there was a particular inmate there who always complained about everything. For three months I endured his rants on how the lights were too bright, the rooms too hot, the blankets too scratchy, and so on. Obviously this is prison and no one gets luxury accommodations. I reached the end of my rope one morning... Read More » when I had to go down the run and wake him up at 7 AM for transport somewhere else in the state for a medical procedure. The guy is all grumpy, complaining about how I'm getting him up at the "ass crack of dawn." He demanded to be allowed time to take a shower, heat and drink some coffee and have a smoke. The van taking him away was already waiting for him and I knew for a fact that he'd taken a shower before going to bed the night before. I told him there wasn't time for any of that, he just had to get dressed and get to the van. He begins swearing and ranting about how inhumanely we were treating him and after months of his complaints I couldn't hold it in anymore. "I know, it sucks how early you have to get up to get your free medical care, huh?" I told him. He was immediately silent . He got dressed and left in a huff. I later found out how he wrote a grievance to the warden about my comment. Inmate complaints are occasionally reason for worry, so I was nervous when the warden called me in to his office. It turned out he just thought my comment was hilarious and told me to keep up the good work.
