You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Today is already on the FAIL list, and I am still in my PJs.

Mine too, compounded by the fact that I am *not* at home in my PJs.

Ugh!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Dana landed safely and is embarking on her European vacation. Meanwhile, I no longer own a car.

I know those 2 things aren't related, but I like to imagine that they are.

It does read like Dana sold shrift's car and took off for Europe on the profit.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My latest efforts in online dating have yielded hilarious results, but no actual dates.

For reasons unknown to me, I attract a ridiculous number of men who are tortured about their own sexuality and want to play dress up with me, or fetishists who want a "big" girl to play with when their wives aren't around.

I know not whether to laugh or cry, but there you go.

Annnd, someone I'm in a meeting with who I really like and respect just went on a long rant about healthcare and how the press is so scared to touch Obama yadda yadda. Feh.

How do you think she managed that first class ticket?

The Green Hornet's car revealed: [link]

It's a modified 1965 Chrysler Imperial, very much like the one on the TV show.

Random car trivia: The 1965 Chrysler Imperial looked a lot like the Lincoln Continentals of the same era. Chrysler actually hired the guy who designed the landmark 1961 Continental to design the Imperial.

Cindy, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Never having owned a car, I've never felt the need for learning stick, although somehow I always felt I should.

But would you have learned if you got on Amazing Race? I totally would!
