Thanks Kevin! Now that my conference is finally over, I can't wait to start the script!
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

What is even happening?
My brother's are both out drinking and driving, I should feel comforted in their mutual well-being?You should smack them upside the head. Did everyone make it home all right?

Did everyone make it home all right?
This time.
The only thing about smacking them upside the head when they're drunk is they smack back (well, my younger brother is a biter). The only thing about hiding all the car keys is they raise a racket destroying the house looking for them (and tickle-torturing me). They don't learn. They've both gotten DUI's and revoked licenses and decades of lectures from our parents and they couldn't give a flying f***.

The status is NOT quo.
Too bad I can't introduce them to the familes of the students I've lost to drunk driving. Or, worse, the student I had who killed a family of three while driving drunk and who is now serving time as a result.
Grr. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, JB, but I'm furious at anyone who thinks they have the right to endanger the lives of others.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
DUI in the UK will get you sent to jail in a lot of cases. It's taken far more seriously in the UK, so the solution is -- send them here!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Sorry, but I now giggle. Just noticed the random dude on the FOX forum claiming they invented the story for DRIVE in 2006. Not realizing Drive was already in development by this time.

Thanks everyone. At this point in my life, I really could care less if they cracked themselves up, but I worry about everyone else on the road.
Older brother is already an ex-con, so I don't know if prison would work, but at least they'd be off the streets!

One of my cousins killed someone on the road, and while I'm not 100% sure I strongly suspect it was a drunk driving incident. I think DUI's should be prosecuted and sentenced as attempted vehicular manslaughter.
