Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Glad to hear the girl already has a handle on defeating male oppression, Kat.
I had a friend in the early 90s with a Ford Probe. If you touched the car it would say "the car is armed, the car is armed." I never could see the arms, but I really wanted some for my car. I'd never have to get out of the car to pump gas, again.
Excellent news Kat!!
Sarameg, I think you should come to SF to get lost. Getting unlost here can be REALLY tricky.
I found the VIPER! (I think it must be in ASSCAPS to convey its personality) alarm system the most amusing. "This car is protected by VIPER! STEP AWAY! STEP AWAY!"
My cousin had Fred, the Pimp car, when she was in college. He had a red leather interior and a barry white voice. He was a boat. He would comment on what you were doing ("brake is on",) fluid levels, engine temperature, turn signals ("signalling....signally")and then the usual door and window stuff. His engine eventually blew, while he narrated his death.
He had to have been a custom car. I wouldn't believe it had my uncle not supported her claims.
Dude. Your uncle was Dick Van Dyke?
Totally unrelated, but I like that Drive has made me alter my lurking schedule from "infrequent" to "highly frequent", for fear of being left behind.
Best spoiler ever, Kat! Congratulations to you and lori!
I read the whitefont even though I felt I shouldn't, and found myself oddly unsquicked. Apparently gestating, bearing and caring for a baby has totally wrecked my squick sensors.
But, eeeeeee! One of each! So awesome!

Oh thank god it's not just me. Not interested, certainly, but not full-body-shudder squicked.
Matched set - neat!
Don't need to read the whitefont; know what it's talking about, and ew. I oh, so accidentally saw part of a segment on a show about it once, and I still have a visual I'd really like to not have.
