Also, did the non-existent boyfriend get free flowers off the street, and is just passing them off to you to score points?
Exactly! And that leads me to think about what my position is on re-gifting. It never ends.
Frankly, I don't see how Spock would be good at slaying Sith....
I'm too busy trying to say "Spock the Sith Slayer" without getting spit on my monitor or sounding like I just got my tongue pierced.
OK, I don't want to say anything too loud, but I think the alarm has stopped.
Fuck. I knew I spoke too soon. That's what I get. Let this be a lesson to others.
There's a piece about the Williams sisters and the price of their fame in Salon today.
And, it seems, the majority of us seem to name our cars after comic book/sci-fi characters. WHAT a surprise.
Don't usually do more than lurk over here (the Natter, she be frighteningly fast and hard to keep up with), but just had to chime in to mention that my truck is called Strider, 'cuz it's a Ranger.
Am I mistaken in thinking the standard handicapped stall protocol is that it's up for grabs, except handicapped people go straight to the head of the line?

Hah! You should get license plates with "ARAGORN," like the Jeep I was behind a few months ago (with a plate holder that said "There and Back Again").
That's my take on it, ita. Though, I've been tsk-tsk'd for going in the handicapped stall.
My best car ever, '77 Toyota GT Liftback, was named Jake. After the boy in Sixteen Candles. I took Jake over from my sister in '82 or '83. I don't think she'd named him. He saw me through two years of high school, four years of college, and about a year after that. Finally donated him to Goodwill after he developed some wiring problem that no one seemed able to fix. I always hoped he ended up with some teenager who liked to tinker with cars.
That's the protocol I've always followed, ita. No taking the handicapped stall if others are available (unless of course I have Annabel in the stroller, in which case it becomes the only viable choice), and no taking it if there's anyone handicapped behind you in line, but otherwise it's fair game.
