Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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?

When I noticed that chasing the laser dot was making the cats pant I started giving them ice cubes to play with.
OK, I have to try this. Though mine are being so lazy, I think they'll ignore it.

she had to try them out not for getting in and out but for could she get far enough away from the airbag and reach the pedals.
My airbag ever goes off, and I'm a dead woman. I once asked the insurance company about getting it turned off. I've often thought that maybe I should strap a knife to the carseat, much like the I have one on my hang-gliding harness, to cut myself out in case I'm trapped.

Hi Java Cat!
Also, apparently woot! does not ship to Alaska. I HATE stores that don't ship to Alaska. Also, they wrote it wrong. They say that they don't ship to the continental United States. Alaska IS IN the continental United States. I HATE stores that get that wrong even more than stores that don't ship to Alaska. Unfortunately, later in the FAQ they specifically mention Alaska (as in not shipping here) or I might have called up and given them a piece of my mind, not that I have any to spare.
Hmmpf.
Can you tell that I have strong feelings on the matter? Alas, no cheap Roomba for me.

I got a Forester last September, and I'm still VERY pleased with it. It's way more comfortable to get in and out of than my previous Honda Civic. I feel comfortable and also very safe driving it even in relatively bad weather. I'd definitely recommend it, it's exactly the right size of SUV for me. (Also, ~30 MPG highway according to EPA.)

They actually sell a special little tool that is a window-breaking hammer dealie and a safety knife (designed like those letter openers you get at conferences) that you can mount within reach in the car. I think I've seen it adverted in AAA.

See? Forester gooood.

Mine's more like 23MPG city, 26/27MPG highway. Not tragic, but not as good as that. I also have an older model than Theo. Mine's a 2003.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I wish there was a place that sold really good hamburgers on the way home from work, because that's what I want to have for dinner.
I don't think there is though.
