oh yes, life is good. my only question is “what if she has twins?”
[the second coming of christ]

My wife is one of those people who like to wait till the last possible day to renew the tabs on her vehicle. This drives me nuts!

I always head down early in the month my tabs are due(well… after about the 5th or so… the place is still packed before then with people like my wife, trying to deal with the previous month). The lines aren’t long, and you can generally get in and out in under 20 minutes.

I pointed out to her last month that her tabs were due in October, and that she needed to take the van through emissions. Being that she drives an 88 Plymouth Voyager with soft valve seals, it tends to smoke at idle. I also suggested we get that fixed if we were to have any hope of passing the test.

T-Minus 30 days…

I kept on her about it, and it kept not getting done. I had promised myself that she would do it this year, and I wouldn’t take the car down for her and take care of it (like every year for the past 12 years).

T-Minus 15 days…

I once again stressed that she might want to perhaps DO SOMETHING about the van and it’s upcoming failure at the emissions testing facility. “Oh yeah… no problem” was the reply.

T-Minus 7…

*sigh* Once again, it’s up to me to deal with the issue at hand. There didn’t seem to be much of a reason to fix the van (I hated it!), so I thought we might get rid of it and get something else. I forced her into the van (and believe me… “forced” is pretty much the way it was), and proceeded to drive.

2 hours and most of a years salary later…. we came home in this:

Sure…. next year I’ll be sitting in line waiting for emissions…. But hell, when you’ve got leather seats, an 8 speaker Infinity sound system, and a 5.9L V8…. waiting isn’t so bad!

[Ninja Burger] - I don’t understand it… but I like it.

[Mike’s Message] for October 10th is a bit of a switch. Generally he’s pretty overt about this feelings.

I noticed and oddity on his page, while reading about his ill feelings towards Sen. Lieberman.

This is why most people in this country do not like Democrats. They’re a bunch of wimps and whiners and crybabies. And they are so easy to see through. At least with a guy like Big Time Dick

Cheney, you get a man who believes in what he believes in and f— you if you don’t like it. He’s proud of voting against Head Start and equal pay for women and any attempt to get Nelson Mandela out of prison.

The line break isn’t something I’ve put in there. Whomever handcoded the HTML wanted to make sure that people knew that Cheney was a “Big Time Dick”. If you go in and check the source on the page, you’ll see what I mean.

Take [this browser] to Cuba…er… Sega. If you didn’t notice the link, I’ll spell it out for you. The URL is to sonypsx2.com, and leads to the Sega On-line storefront for the Dreamcast.

Funny!

Digging deeper though, it has nothing to do with Sega jacking an ersatz Sony URL.

Doing a Whois, it belongs to:

I was reading the [Flat Earth Faq] when I came across this reassuring tidbit.

20) Does Idaho exist
No. The existence of Idaho is a lie, fabricated by a conspiracy of cartographers, as is England (see question 10).

this one was yanked from beyond2000.com… don’t blame me, i just find ‘em.

saw this over on [Hard|OCP]…

(blatantly yanked from their site:)

I have recently developed a new hands free cellular phone technology that is taking the market by storm. Because all of you are my friends I am going to allow you to obtain one of these babies for yourself at the rock bottom price of $29.95 each. This wonderful accessory will work with all brands of cellular phones on the market today. The reason this is such a huge breakthrough is the pending legislation in Congress that would ban cellular phone usage in automobiles unless they were hands free. Let me know, as soon as possible, if you want to obtain one (or more) of these accessories before we are completely sold out. It may be a couple of months before our next shipment arrives from the factory. I have attached a photo showing you how elegant and sleek this device is. I look forward to hearing from you real soon.
