Hec, I got my hair cut yesterday. Shoulder-length messy bob. Looks pretty good, I think.

Pretty good by Scrappy standards equals one hot rockin' mess of sex appeal for us lesser mortals. Of course you look good; you're Scrappy. Mentally I amend all the "Scrappy is wise" comments with "(and hot!)" If I was starting a band, or naming a snackfood I might have to use the name "The Wisenhots (like Scrappy)." It even makes a decent prayer. "Our Scrappy, who art both wise and hot..."

"FIBs" are what Cheeseheads call us Illinoisans.

When feeling kind.

If they don't like how you're driving

Maybe things have changed. But when I was growing up, "Illinois driver" and "bad driver" meant the same thing.

We said "New Jersey driver" in Delaware. Everybody thinks they are better drivers than everybody else!

No, we in NJ were perfectly aware of our reputation.

Except in Ohio. I'm pretty sure we Ohioans know that the entire world drives better than we do.

I came across a really cool Etsy shop called the hermitage [link]

My faves are [link] and [link] but it's all really great stuff.

Well, Cincinnatians, at least. Cleveland drivers seem okay (and I say that through gritted teeth).

Oh yeah. And it's just "Jersey driver."

I'm very formal in my insults!

Apropos of driving insults, I remember being all chagrined at going off to college and finding out that much of the rest of the country calls slowing down at a stop sign, tapping the brakes, and zooming away a California stop. In the Bay Area, all my driver's ed teachers called it a Hollywood stop.

Now I'm all curious about what LAistas call it.
