Heh. That's ... news to me. Thanks, P-C.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'd never heard of it until xkcd referenced it.
I heard about it in Natter yesterday and then it happened to me today. That's how the internet works!
I'm the worst pet-owner ever. I mean, I don't know if that's what it is, but still.
SO NOT! I was going to say that cats rarely get the mange though. Thank god. It was bad enough when I was living with my friends here, just when I moved to B'more and they had just gotten married, and all three of our dogs and all three of the humans got it! BUt my two cats remained blissfully mange free.
It actually rarely transfers to humans from the dogs but a. the dogs slept in our beds regularly and b. one of the dogs was immuno-suppressed so his infestation EW!!! was way worse than it would have otherwise been...as a funny addendum I got a rash as a reaction to scratching from the mange that lasted me for months and months. Good times!!!
It did lead to the motto "Mange Free in '98" though. And, of course, a hilariously disgusting story to tell for years to come.
So the reason I've asked for input on my car ad upthread is that this is my day off, and as Andi left for work today i checked the mail.
One of the pieces of mail was from the local police nuisance patrol cp saying I have until April 7th to rid my driveway of two "Unlicensed or inoperable vehicles stored out in the open."
Blergh. My caprice is my project car and with all the vehicle issues in the last year I hadn't licensed it. I got the tabs for that today.
The Lumina, however, has to go.
OMG! You've had mange???
ETA: I should hope it's obvious that I'm talking to lisah and not Daniel.
Yikes, I just skipped 360+ posts. Sorry! ~ma to thems that needs it. and HAHAHA to all the jokes I missed.
So last night I got arm twisted into a preseason game of Dodgers at Angels. Oh the humanity! Extra innings, and they called it a draw. Still was fun. And the price was PERFECT!
Today, i was a bad boy. nooo not in the fun kinda way. I was dragged to "Second Spin" used CD/DVD/ shopppe. ooops. I walked out with $144 in DVD's. What's the phrase? Commerce Commiserating? Retail Therapy? Something witty like that. Ya, apparently I suffered from it today. But I got some good titles!!
o ya, changed my tag line too. Was in conversation with friend who was drove me to/from hospital for the tests the other week. And the sheet said "You may experience some minor amnesia around the event. This is normal". We both got a good laugh after I said "I don't remember any amnesia" so I thought it a good tagline.
I walked out with $144 in DVD's.
How many DVDs is that?
I'd never heard of it until xkcd referenced it.
And did so beautifully, I might add. Posting The Ring on YouTube is a perfect revenge for RickRolling.
I walked out with $144 in DVD's.
Please. I spent $180 on 2 pairs of shoes today. And believe me when I say that I am such a cheap bastard that, before today, $180 would have bought me AT LEAST 5 pairs of shoes. (Not counting sneakers, for which I am more than willing to pay $100 or more, because if you're going to work out, you gotta have good, supportive sneakers.)
Of course, that could explain why all my shoes tend to fall apart on me after 6 months. These new ones had better NOT.
And, after spraining the same ankle twice in the span of 6 weeks, I figure I need actual *good* shoes, and I knew that would very likely mean buying shoes that cost more than $30/pair.
(And this is a whole lot of justification for something that people do every day, isn't it? Hell, lots of women pay more than $180 for ONE pair of shoes. It's just that....*I* never have. So spending that much is both weird and exhilarating.)
How many DVDs is that?14 movies, 26 DVD's, plus special features and such. So, $10/movie, roughly.
The list is in my LJ if you want to see what I got. I didn't filter it, so non-friended folk can see too.
