If God is a big-ass chipmunk that would RAWK.
Growing up in New Jersey clearly warped me as a driver. I think jughandles are perfectly normal and I still get jumpy when I have to pump my own gas.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pumping your own gas is just wrong. ::nods::

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I came into the office today, determined that I would Get Things Done. Then I found that the Things I wanted to Do required input from people who decided that a 3-day weekend would be improved by becoming a 4-day weekend.
That sound you hear is my carefully built-up motivation trickling away.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Calli! Did you know that your trickling motivation sounds surprisingly similar to a crying baby who's pooped his pants?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
It is so beautifully sunny here! I've been out drinking lime and soda on the terrace of the student union (where, it being summer, there was actually space to sit) with a friend. Blissful.

It's standard here. Because I need help, I have to buy a transmitter that requests service remotely. And then it never works. Hmph.
Just one more reason I need to move to the States...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've pumped my own gas exactly once. And I somehow screwed it up, so that it filled the tank but didn't record how much gas it pumped out, and thus how much money I owed. (Well, how much money Zipcar owed.)

Well, only one state. New Jersey law says that customers can't pump their own gas. I think maybe Oregon, too?

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

While we'd love (LOVE!!) to have you, don't decide on the basis of full-service gas. Self service is standard everywhere except New Jersey, where for strange historical and political reasons, pumping your own is not only not the norm but actually illegal. Ah, federalism.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Hil, doesn't sound like you screwed it up, sounds like a broken computer on the pump.
I stole the motivation, sorry - Just cranked out 3 invoices and dealt with 3 more emails.
