There was a guy in my college apartment complex with a talking car. His personalized plate said "PITBULL". The car would say "you are too close to the vehicle! step. back!" BFF and I were coming home drunk one night and she said "let's set off the alarm! I'm not going to let some car tell me what to do!" so, we went over to the car. didn't set off the alarm. we touched it. didn't set off the alarm. finally, she lifted the door handle and that did the trick. We ran off, laughing hysterically.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
There's a car in Europe somewhere which reminds drivers to slow down. With "Please slow down". My Drive fanfic head has a contestant speeding down the freeway, not paying attention, slamming into the reservation, bashing the car up, screaming to a halt, half alive - a beat - and then "Please slow down" from the car before cutting away.
Yes, I'm not a writer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to hear car alarms that would say, "Help me - I am being tampered with!" (Then if you still tampered with the car, the alarm would go off.)
Neighborhood kids just loved to bump into cars to get them to talk. Maybe that's why car alarms don't talk anymore.
But still - I think they should have expanded on the idea:
"Help me - I am being tampered with!"
Then other cars could join in:
"Hey Joe - are you OK?"
"Hey kids - leave Joe alone!"
"Someone notify the police!"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The fault with those sorts of alarms is that there wasn't the option to record your own statements.
I'll bet you could nowadays. "If you do not step away from the vehicle an annoying series of noises will begin. Everyone in the office buildings within a five block radius will hate you and the owner of the vehicle."
Yeah. The zombie thing is probably better.

"Bad touch! Bad touch!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
2 hour premiere on Sunday, followed by a regular ep on Monday.
That sounds good to me. Can't help but compare it to the way the network f*ed up with Firefly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think one of the race clues should be given by the drive-thru oracle burger from Angel.
AWESOME!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That would be totally awesome.

I came back and saw 51 posts and was hoping for more lunch spoilers. But I do have baby gender spoilers.
