Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Coconut milk ice cream and bad celebrity reality TV are not helping my blah.

Jesus Christ, of course not!

May as well watch old Jerry Falwell preaching reruns and mainline corn-starch!

Compassionately intolerant

... is it the downhill one? I know I knew this at some point.

Yep. And, as the downhill driver to whom this happened on the first day, all I could say was nononono. I"m not sure why, but it made sense to me that the UPhill driver should back up. I don't really get the logic of either choice though.

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

I admit my choice of TV is crap. I have no good reason to watch Andy Dick and that guy from Crazytown trying to stay sober. But the ice cream is good. Just not good enough to fight through the pain tonight.

I'm not sure why my driver's ed teacher passed me. I was a horrible driver, and he had fear in his eyes after the first ride. And he had this tone like, "I can't believe how fucking awful you are at this." And he was not wrong. Until it all clicked (after I had the license), and then, of course, I thought I was the best driver on the planet at age 17. Yeah. Because that's likely.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Steel wheels are perfectly fine, unless you want really high-performance. (Maybe alloys are lighter? Or they don't flex as much under high cornering g's?)

The other bad thing with steel wheel is the hubcaps can fall off, get stolen, get damaged, etc.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

So non-steel wheels don't have hubcaps? Or have hubcaps that can't be stolen?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have had a productive evening...

  • Found 2 pairs of jeans at TJ Max for CJ (every pair he has have ventilated knees)
  • Discovered that he has a Valentines party at school tomorrow, so bought supplies for him (Valentines, small candy to tape on Valentines, and Sprinkles for their cupcake party).
  • Did NOT help him put his Valentines together, but kept him on task while we watched SPN.
  • Did a first cut at taxes, including two state returns. Need to pull some more information, but I'm close.

Non-steel wheels are the alloy ones, which don't have hubcaps (you see the solid, shiny metal).

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

I'm not sure why my driver's ed teacher passed me. I was a horrible driver, and he had fear in his eyes after the first ride.

If you'd failed, would he have had to teach you again?
