Title: Rufus
Post by: Igziabeher on June 29, 2005, 08:36:30 pm
Trying to put a comprehensive list together of Adrian\'s \'Rufus-isms\'.  Here\'s what I got, feel free to add if you can come up w/ any that I\'m missing...

\'46 1/4!\'
\'Oh Boy!\'
\'What the fuck are you doin\'?\'
\'Go get me a catspaw out of the compartment\'
\'Oh, the Canadian front\'

There has to be a couple more that I\'m spacing out on, and probably a few I\'ve never heard.

@ RUFUS

Early mornin\' calls Rufus breaks my balls
Ginseng is needed to listen to stories about saws
His tools meticulously arranged in the compartments on the side of his truck
Ladders, pumpjacks, etc., it all really sucks

Lay down tarps to keep the shingles off the grass
Hard to keep up with Rufus he strips so damn fast
He always yells and bitches at me
But he just loves to roof, that\'s the reason be

He\'s all about a hard days work
He loves his coffee and he never gets hurt
People say he looks like Alice Cooper
A lot like Alice he does great metal work

Quick with tarpaper and chimney flash
Runs shingles up the roof for the cats ass
Close eyes can\'t compare when on the rooftop
When it comes to roofin\' Rufus does the job

Next mornin\' Rufus calls and breaks my balls
Ginseng is needed to listen to stories about saws
His tools meticulously arranged in the compartments on the side of his truck
Ladders, pumpjacks, etc., it all really sucks

He\'s all about a hard days work
He loves his coffee and he never gets hurt
People say he looks like Alice cooper
A lot like Alice he does great metal work

i really like the one from 7/27/02, and there was a really good Rufus by the trio at Red Square in 2007, i don\'t remember the date but it was either in march or april i think. def check out the rufus>harluck>rufus from 02/02/07 as well, if you like the trio at all

"shake n bake" - 02/17/07
"poophead" and "taintville"- 02/02/07

\'46 1/4!\'


Had Rufus running through my head all day while helping to build some Habitat for Humanity homes.  I was cutting/attaching siding of various measurements for much of the day.  118 1/4, 56 5/8, 19 1/2, 144 7/8.....although I never arrived at the fabled 46 1/4.

In the exports department of Xilinx (http://www.xilinx.com). I dress casual everyday, and i\'m sure nobody really understands the reference on the shirt. Unless there are some closet breakfast fans working with me.
