Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think I found a site that has more time wasting potential than Drench does [link]
For example, did you know:
The average American will eat 35,000 cookies in a lifetime.
Approximately 850 peanuts make a 18 oz jar of peanut butter.
Ten per cent of the salt mined in the world each year is used to de-ice the roads in America.
The site also has a section on insults, riddles, jokes, humor, wordplay, and mind games [link] and a section on Chicago: [link]
Shower, Suzi. It works wonders.
They've put off my change for this weekend. I worry that no one trusts me anymore.
Some ad told me that the average American owns 12 cars in their lifetime. Which means some people own tons (tommy, I'm looking at you), because I'm certainly not doing my share of the heavy lifting.

Does leasing count? My dad gets a car lease from his office, and he gets a new one every four years. (He actually doesn't really care about new cars, and he's still driving a ten-year-old Camry, but my mom likes the new cars, so she picks out the office one and she drives it for those four years and then gets a new one.)

Huh. Lemme think:
1. A crappy Dodge Omni that abandoned me on Route 128 in rush-hour traffic when the clutch cable broke. Hated that car.
2. A used Subaru hatchback I drove for about six years and then traded to my parents for my mother's
3. Honda Civic. Which I also hated: it was underpowered and had no A/C, and the tape deck broke, and it wasn't a hatchback.
4. 1998 Subaru Outback Sport (the little one): 4-door hatchback with CD player, A/C, and AWD. It doesn't get great mileage but since I don't commute in it I don't mind much.
That's 4 cars in 29 years of driving; at this rate, I'll own another 4 before I die.
I've had a drivers licence for 13 years, and I've owned one car, which I just bought last year. I'm planning on keeping it a while.
I owned a crappy Dodge Omni, too. I hated it so much I never owned another car again.
I've got a Scion xD, which, along with the Honda Fit, seems to be the car that you get when you really want a Mini Cooper but can't afford it.
In just under 20 years of driving, I've had two cars. I wouldn't like to accelerate that pace. Neither of them were crap. Well, okay, the Accord turned into crap, but that was because I treated it that way.
A crappy Dodge Omni
Ohhh Consuela, I had one of those. Man, I hated that car. My dad bought it new, but the stupid hatchback window leaked from the get-go, so it was useless in the rain... when I was attending Humboldt State University (4 bazillion inches of rain my senior year).
when I first saw that 12 cars in a lifetime ad, I started counting and I've only had 5 so I think I need to start looking at new cars soon, right? I'm driving an 11 year old car right now. I have some ground to make up. I figure I've only got like 30 years left to drive, so I'll need lots of new cars.
ETA: Dodge Omni haters UNITE! *high fives Scola*
when I was attending Humboldt State University
Stoner!
