Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

What is even happening?

Kara cracked me up so hard I couldn't remember what I'd intended to post.

Cindy, it's free until the next bill comes.
What kind of pretending is this, amych? Huh? Huh? Did I go all wedding-stress on you, when you were being Ms. Oh, and We'll Get Married Calmly? The car is free. Free. Free.
Also, whatdja get? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can we go for a ride in it?
Several of you could come for a ride at once. It's a Saturn Relay, which is a mini-van that bills itself as a cross-over (which makes me happy, because I think of Buffy and Angel, rather than anything having to do with mini-vans pretending to be SUVs).

We went from looking for the most stripped down version of a Dodge Caravan (the cheapest people mover you can get) to a Honda Pilot (which was way too expensive) and settled (in a non-settling way, it's a very nice car) in between with the Saturn Relay, with a pitstop at the Mazda MPV (which I always want to call MVP).

We got a 2005, but it's new, so Saturn had about $5K in rebates to get it off the lot. Their sales tactics are so much more pleasant than the other dealers that it may have been worth the money. I hated the Dodge Dealers (at two different 'ships) unto plague, if not death. I actually really liked the Mazda salesman, but the car felt like it was going to crumple in a crash. I don't think safety statistics bear out my fears there, but I'm jumpy since the accident.

We're now awaiting a $500 Gift Card from Target A.K.A. The Deathray Dealers of Terror. I'm going to have to consume mass quantities, to go spend it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

*I* want a Man-pony!

I'll just bet you do.

Nora, Kara says she'll name you Pony Rainbow Dash.

That is so Nora.

This brings to mind the old classic "Pony or Porn Star" site.

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

My boss has a Relay, and it's sweet -- and that's coming from a minivan-hatah. Sadly, the last time we did a carpool to an offsite thingy, I called shotgun and then the rest of those bitches discovered the DVD player with the Muppet Show in it.

It does come with the Muppet Show, right?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Kara IS the funniest evil genius ever. Bless her.

And now I'm bitter that I didn't get a Man-pony for Christmas. Damn it. I've been good!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I want a Kara-porn name!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Accomplished today:

  • returned blazingly uncomfortable "memory foam" pillows -- more like memory BRICKS
  • purchased big fuzzy hat
  • packaged grandparents' semi-belated Hannukah gift
  • bought shrimp for dinner

Not yet accomplished today:

  • decide what to do with shrimp
  • gym
  • acquire man-pony

I've slept on one of those Swedish Memory Foam Approved by NASA beds for several days, and it was one of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant sleeping experiences of my life.

And they're damned expensive.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Aimee, she says you're Cotton Candy Pony.

I'm guessing that the super-expensive ones are less brick-like than the Macy's brand knockoffs, but I just don't have that kind of money. Ah well. Back to hypoallergenic ecoDown it is.
