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.

Oh, wait, no, it's an actual parody.

Oops. It just goes to show that I find any Akin idiocy believable.

I cannot drive a stick shift, though I was taught once (one day). My best friend loves hers but that means she has to drive the whole time if she wants to take her car

I did learn the 50 Nifty united States song, or something similar, but I don't remember it?

And I am going to look into driving to Vancouver this weekend.

Punishingly Intricate

I can't drive a stick shift either despite a couple of attempts to teach me. Just seems like too much work. Also, everyone who has ever told me that it is easy to learn learned as a teenager or young adult. I have been driving a normal, easy car for far too many years to easily learn a whole new way!! (Although it would be handy to be able to move Bob's car if I needed to)

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

Missing woman searches for self

A search and rescue operation was underway near Iceland's Eldgjá canyon last Saturday when a woman did not return to her tour bus. Turns out, the woman had in fact returned to the tour bus and had actually helped try to find, um, herself. According to Iceland Review Online, "Before reentering the bus after the stop at Eldgjá, the woman had changed her clothes and freshened up, resulting in the other passengers not recognizing her… She didn’t recognize the description of herself and 'had no idea that she was missing,'" said the area's police chief.

Thrive to spite them

I never learned to drive stick. Dad on an impulse (not usually like him) bought a car for my brother and I to share that was a stick. Neither of us knew how to drive stick but it was a completely disaster trying to teach me. The whole thing left me feeling anxious and confused.

I've owned one stick-shift car--my 2000 Focus. I really like driving stick but it's a PITA when stuck in traffic.

Considering the traffic in Chicago and that the new Ford dual-clutch automatics get better mileage than the manual versions, I got the automatic on my 2012 Focus.

And I didn't even know that the Ford Focus Titanium is cheaper with the automatic when I bought it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

She didn’t recognize the description of herself and 'had no idea that she was missing,'" said the area's police chief.

If that had happened to me, before I spoke up there would have been a couple distinct moments where I thought about just remaining "missing" and taking the opportunity to just slip away. I wouldn't, of course.
