IIRC, the engine in a VW bug is only attached by four nuts, a pin in the throttle linkage, and the battery connection. If you pull the engine, the wheels, and the seats, it should easily be light enough for some football players to lift and turn up on its side. I just can't remember how wide the door would need to be for the body to fit through.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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

Real Simple Magazine consulted James Kellaris, a University of Cincinnati professor who studies why catchy tunes stick in our heads. James says that to stop the looping, "listen either to complex music, like Mozart, or unfamiliar music that lacks a hook, like New Age."
And if that doesn't work, try singing the song all the way through or simply listen to it in its entirety. This will give your brain a sense of completion and should relax your need to continue repeating the lyrics. As for situations where you can't remember some or all of the lyrics, just rewrite the end to get the song out of your head.

I never new that Emma Thompson adopted a Rwandan refugee. Here's a story about his graduation from college: [link]
Also my people on Facebook are telling me that Zappos was just bought by Amazon.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't know how to drive stick. Nobody in my family does, so I never learned.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
This SOUNDS like a Snopes-ish internet myth, but mom swears she saw the car in the gym..
My dad also swears this was done while he was at MIT. So either they went to school together, this is an urban legend, or it's a lot easier than it sounds.

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
I've heard two versions of it myself. I don't think it's all that hard to do.

I'll believe almost anything my dad tells me about MIT pranks because MIT is full of batshit crazy nerds.
ION, I love YouTube. The same moment BabyCenter sends me a "Refreshingly Realistic TV Guidelines for 2-4 year olds" email, Dylan is cackling like a maniac while this plays on my second monitor. (It's his second-favorite, after Manahmanah.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We did that to a friend of mine in college. Disassembled his VW bug enough to get it into his dorm room and reassembled.
Also put a different small car into the dorm lounge by taking apart part of the wall. Come to think of it, I think there was some wall disassembly for the other one, as well.
