At least half SUV's around here too. Note that we don't have severe weather, just gas-guzzlin' republicans.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Plenty of penis substitutes here, too.

Hey. New board.
Rhetorical question:
They make reduced fat wheat thins, which are less greasy than the normal, but still too salty. They make reduced sodium wheat things, which are less salty than the original, but still too greasy. Why oh why don't they make reduced fat AND sodium wheat thins? That would be perfection.

How common are SUVs on the highways of other people's towns?
Way too common. We're as likely to get iced up roads as we are to get major snow (that is to say, 2-3 times a year, at most), and 4WD, as connie mentioned, isn't particularly useful on ice.
Once we get any major winter precipitation around Durham, the best bet is to stay home (if you're lucky enough to be home) and sip tea. Or whiskey. People here just don't have the necessary experience driving in snow. That includes me, since I moved down from MI before my first winter with a drivers licence.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I would like to point out that all SUV owners are not Republicans with tiny dicks who waste gas. I'm sure some are, but not all.
I love my SUV because it handles great in the snow. It gets 23-24 mpg in the city and 27-28 mpg highway, so while it's not a Honda Civic, it doesn't absolutely suck on the gas. I'm not a Republican, but my dick is non-existant, so I guess that applies.

GRRRR! The person in the office next to me has the EXTREMELY ANNOYING habit of singing loudly (apparently with music). I can hear it in my office, as my desk is next to the wall. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, and politely asked her to "turn down her music". Now, she''s stopped playing music, but is still singing. I used the "music" excuse as an attempt to be polite, but SHE'S STILL DOING IT.

Oh, Vortex, that sucks! Is there an office manager you can talk to who can ask her to keep it down?

Huh. We may be getting frozen water falling from the sky tomorrow. Strange.

Plenty of SUVs in Seattle, including large numbers of the monster ones (Hummers, H2s), though the smaller options (CRV and the like) are perhaps a touch more popular.
My parents have a CRV and a Rodeo.
