megan, you love the Merritt because of Johnny Cash? I mean, I love them both, but I never knew there was a connection...
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I know it's rude and wrong, but I pass people like that on the right.
This is not rude and wrong. This is regrettable but necessary. I will wait for a good five minutes, with no other traffic on the road, for the 10-miles-under driver to get into the right lane, but eventually you just have to bite the bullet and pass him on the right. Which always feels wrong -- I have this sense as though something bad might happen -- but has to be done. Otherwise you're just trapped! For no reason! Argh!
Off I go to faculty meeting. "Yay!"

I love Johnny Cash because that was one of the few 8-tracks we owned and played in the car on long drives.

I know it's rude and wrong
It only really chaps my ass if there are more than 2 lanes and people insist on passing on the right when there isn't ANYONE on the left, especially if they do so after zooming up on you from behind. I mind it less if there's a line of traffic on the left and noone on the right. I haven't been able to figure out if the former is a power thing, a clueless thing, or they think by going on the right they are less likely to get pulled over (if that's the case, it seems to kind of logic that is psycho).
And on review, I guess I'm not only one since I missed this post:
The right-passing driver I hate is the one who chooses to pass on the right when there are wide-open lanes on my left. And I'm a good 10 or so above the limit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, say there's a "right lane closed ahead" sign. And say everyone has moved out of the right lane. Everyone except a few drivers that stay in the right lane to pass everyone lined up in the big-assed long line and then cut into the lane to the left only when the right lane is finally closed. Wrong?
Lots o' people do that in Illinois. But when I was driving in Wisconsin last week, cars lined up in the left lane and not one car took advantage of the situation and passed the line on the right.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can I have permission to leave work early and go home to watch "Heroes"?

Only if I can too. So, yes.
