I'd kinda like the baby box for my cat. Then again, I live on the first floor, so if it fell Leifur would probably be displeased, but unharmed.

If this better belongs in another thread, please slap my wrist and I'll remember next time.

The trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is out.

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

Yeah, it can be a bitch to finesse the handbrake thing.

Huh. I got into an argument with a friend who insisted the handbrake thing was only if you were learning stick and otherwise shouldn't be used, whereas I said it was a good technique to use on steep hills even if you were experienced at driving stick.

She lived in a relatively flat part of Wisconsin.

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

I learned how to drive a stick, in the hills of Berkeley when I was 12 on my mom's Mustang Turbo. I think my first lesson was in the parking lot of the horse track. Then she made me drive up the hill to go home. Accckkk.

I even took my driver's test in that car.

I never used it until I got to SF, but there are some hills here that are so steep that there's inevitable roll-back no matter how well you engage the clutch.

I wonder if Subarus are extra popular in SF because of that nifty clutch system.

Just the other day in Pac Heights, I saw a guy in a BMW roll back pretty significantly, followed shortly by that lovely burning smell.

I do the handbrake thing if I'm on a steep hill and there's a car right behind me.
