The smell was probably old cruddy oil boiling off the heated parts, and the mushiness was actually the road conditions.

But it's not a burning oil smell. I know that one too. This is hot clutch smell! sobs

sarameg, I hope for the simplest outcome.

I figured it was weird to tell Matt to check his panties, so I reread. Not my brand of peanut butter. Yay! Not that I haven't been having gastrointestinal distress of my own. But I think that's just migraine related.

How did they not know their ad was irritating right off? Even the new ads that say the old one was irritating? Irritating.

clutch~ma for saramaeg....

The first one is especially great.

I skidded about my front porch, and skidded up to my car (10 feet away), and tried to get at the scraper in the front footwell, and discovered that all four doors were so securely frozen that I could not open a single one.

I used my keys to chip away enough ice from the windshield to show my parking permit and crossed my fingers the parking cops would have mercy. (You're supposed to clear your car within a day of the snow, but, 90% of my street was stuck in the wheels-froze-to-the-ground situation, so I think there will be general mercy. Also, where would they put the parking ticket! My car is 1.5" of ice all over every surface.)

Tonight, there will be hot kettle action, in the interest of actually getting inside my car.

on eBay: The ORIGINAL PINK PANTHER SHOW CAR

Welcome to a truly unique item for sale! This is the 1 and only - truly original! - PINK PANTHER car from the cartoon show which featured on our tv screens from the late 1960's. This superb piece of craftsmanship from respected Hollywood builder Jay Ohrberg is absolutely fantastic, and is a real crowd puller wherever it appears. Used as a static display (or can be towed on a low loader) at a large number of events in the UK, it can certainly generate crowds if you want to bring a certain amount of pulling power to your event, whether it be a shopping centre promotion, motor show attraction or even to sit in a car showroom as an attraction on it's own as a talking point that is sure to bring customers in. The 'limo' iself is 23 ft long, 6 ft wide and is powered by a 7 litre engine!

I think they were going by the Quiznos' school of "It's worth pissing people off if we can get our ad stuck in their heads."

It has a pepper bar!

I really liked the picture with the lineup of Danes.

My commute today took 90 minutes thanks to a pile-up at Belmont.

I'm not going to be capable of any work until I finish this extremely huge cup of coffee.
