See, these two cars that bothered me had the fullsize option. One was basically in one too, and I watched the other drive through one to its compact destination.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What irritates me is when a teeny tiny car is parked in a regular space when there are a billion compact spaces.
Heh. I park anywhere I can find a spot, labeling be damned. This is San Francisco and parking here is an officially sanctioned city sport, and very competitive. I can parallel park the car in a space that only has 2 inches of leeway on either side.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
If there are full size spaces, then they totally suck, ita.
And David, as you know, parking in LA is just as competitive. Especially with the new trend of 90% of parking lots being repainted and relabeled "Compact". If it's all that's there, it's what I park in, but just as full sized cars should NOT park in compact spaces when there are full size spots open, compacts should do the same.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Favorite overheard thing involving San Francisco parking:
I saw it first, you fucking bitch!
From a woman who was mad that someone made a u-turn and took the spot she wanted before she could get to it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We have bypassed spring and are in the heart of summer, weather-wise. It's kinda melty out there.

For some reason I can't pin down, I think Viggo would be most likely to be successful, so I'd go with him.
Yeah, much as I love Hugh, his talent for singing and dancing doesn't fill me with confidence in his rescue abilities. Reports from New Zealand lead me to believe that Viggo is the most capable of the three, though the least attractive IMHO.
For the women it'd be Angelina all the way—I want someone crazier than the terrorists on my side.

Yeah, but he's pretty impressive as Wolverine.
There's thunder going on that keeps rattling the windows. I'm a little freaked and I'd like Hugh Jackman to come and rescue me from it. Or Clive. Or hell, Viggo. I'm so bad at these "pick one" games.

You say Viggo, but what about when he sees the perfect sunset and needs to stop to paint it in watercolour?

At that point, he'd probably have dismembered our enemies with his teeth, so I feel he's earned a little downtime.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Besides, if there's a pretty sunset, the thunder should be over, right?
