Definitions for clarification.... ;o)

Buffalo - the male version of a lot lizard... aka: prostitute.

Pickle Park - Rest area where apparently men are able to easily find someone to "wash their pickle".... code for things that no one really needs elaboration on.

:o)

Thanks for the clarification. You Yanks have some quaint phrases and I often need sub titles for the movie!

We are fortunate as not to have a big issue with pickle parks (wry humour fully intended.

lot lizards are very rare and I would say that buffalos are completely unheard of. Do you mean to tell me that women drivers would use the services of a buffalo?

I am stunned and amazed!

Actually I'm not sure that buffalo's are used only by female drivers.

Wow, are you mis-informed. A pickle park refers to a rest area with benches where people can have a picnic which usually includes a pickle. Nothing to do with any sexual inuendo. A buffalo is a male trucker, again, nothing to do with any sexual activity. A "good buddy" is a cruiser (fag) that is looking to hook up with a fag trucker. The "good buddy" is a prissy,IE, wanting to play the part of a women. Now you know.

I suppose that there are multiple definitions for many of the "quaint" terms that are tossed around out here in the trucking world. Anon, you're definitions are appreciated, but vastly different from those I listed and have learned from several 25+ year truckers.

I suppose that not everything has to have a sexual conotation out here, but after just shouting out over the CB in a truck stop parking lot to see what other people thing the meanings of the terms Buffalo and Pickle Park mean, 2 people gave similiar definitions to my own and one said they'd never heard the term before.

Then they started asking me what truck I was in, if I would show them my tits...etc. And as is my rule, I thanked them for their time and turned off the CB.

Hmmmm....I agree with the definition given for Commercial Buffalo, not sure if they are soliciting to men as well, but yeah, it is more than just a male trucker.

Pickle Park~ I have even another altering version for that one. A pickle park is where you will find drivers who have become pickled from sitting for sooooo long.

I have to agree, your pickle park definition is probably the best one , although I have never heard that version....However, I do often hear the men hollering " BJ on 23" as you drive past one! LOL

I can't say as I've ever heard the BJ on 23 shout out as I drive past a pickle park.

One thing I do get tired of hearing, well okay two things, is 1) "I ain't got no panties on." and 2) when someone finishes a statement instead of just shutting up they say "come on".

#1 used to make me laugh, now it just annoys me and makes me wonder why so many men wear panties that they have to take off.

#2 just makes people sound like they're retarded.

Man! I didn't realise just how fortunate we are Downunder. NO bloody Pickle Parks (that I am aware of), NO Buffalo (except in the Gulf Country and they are Water Buffalo, have 4 legs, are as mean as hell if antagonised and are not endemic to Australia) and none of that damned "Come on", "Ten Four Roger Dick" crap any more.
We just have our own brand of individuals who's mental development is severely retarded.
I think it was my best friend who mentioned to me the other day that evolution is alive and well, only it is REVERSE evolution and the results can be seen sitting around in road houses, talking B/S!

As for the panties, whenever I hear this lovely sentiment, I usually reply by telling the driver I am so happy to by enlightened by this information because I was a bit worried that cross dressing would lead to harsher addictions.

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

It's been a while, huh? I've been busy, busy and sick. Not a fun combination really, but I survived. The new truck and I are still getting along, however I discovered today that there may be an issue with the power steering. Luckily it's due for PM so as soon as I get to one of our terminals I will have it checked and/or fixed. I'm wondering if I am gonna end up repeating the same maintenance process from step one again just like I did with Trucky. One of the first big problems that I had with Trucky was the power steering... I truly hope this isn't going to be indicative of the maintenance future my new truck and I will have to look forward to. Oh, and I suppose I should go ahead and formally introduce my new ride to my readers. Everyone, meet Squeak aka : Kenny . You're probably wondering, as everyone has so far, why on earth I've chosen the name Squeak? Well honestly, it was a day-one name that came to mind because of the various squeaking noises that oc...
