So non-steel wheels don't have hubcaps? Or have hubcaps that can't be stolen?
Non-steel wheels are the alloy ones, which don't have hubcaps (you see the solid, shiny metal).
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

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?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've switched from ice cream and reality TV to yogurt and African American Lives 2. Worse food, better TV.

Heh. Probably so. There was another teacher, but maybe he wasn't sure he would have been able to fob me off on him.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I remember behind the wheel training.
The instructor strapped on an AM transmitter, had all of us get in cars, and directed us like chess pieces by barking orders and advice as we careened around a large school parking lot laid out with every type of driving scenario.
The line that keeps sticking in my mind is one he said often, "Jensen! Slow down!"

Am I the only one who thinks P-C's uncle sounds like an asshole? I don't mean to offend, but why the knowledge about "whores"? If you've got that much knowledge, and it's firsthand, that makes you a user of whores, which would be a "john" and as equally culpable in whatever evils that transaction incurs.
(And if you *don't* have firsthand knowledge, then why are you even bringing them up in conversation?)

We always tip our housecleaners because they come through a company. I didn't when I had someone who worked for herself.
So I truly had a fantastic day. Spoiled rotten by students and colleagues all day, flowers delivered to school from my beloved ND, and dinner and Coraline tonight. Just a lovely day.

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
We tip our house cleaner. She charges a really good rate and is really flexible with our crazy schedule. WE NEVER EVER WANT TO LOSE HER.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sometimes buying a car is just buying a damned car.
Well, no. I mean, yeah, it is, but in most dealerships the salesman is trying to manipulate you into spending as much as possible. Whether that takes charm or lying or bullying, that's what they'll do. My DH used to sell cars and even now many car salesman engage in the kind of tricks that other businesses don't.
