I find "Fast n Loud" entertaining enough to seek it out when I am staying in a hotel and have access to cable.

It turns the two Northbound lights red and the two Southbound lights green, clearing out all the traffic in front of the station. Sometimes, we push the button so we can run across the street and get pizza.

I want my emergency response personnel well fed, happy and not run over. I'll wait at a light for that.

I hate to say it, but those are real firemen the way those pretty ladies in the nekkid people movies are real lesbians.

Not that it matters, really.

You can tell they're real firemen because the fire truck is in the background.

Plus I don't care. It's my fantasy and they can all be models in their off time if they want.

I feel the novelty of the internet is wearing off on me. I no longer explore new stuff, just go to same old sites.

I do however still find having google, and thus instant answers, on my phone amazing. Beats the heck out of a card catalog.

I'm afraid I'm truly becoming a Yeti. Each day there is more and more body hair. I caught sight of my knuckles the other day during breakfast and said, "When did we get an ape and who taught it to feed people? Wait...that's MY hand!!!"

My GF of a years birthday is on Monday... I thought it was odd her exceptionally hot(has nothing to do with the story but I don't know 'hot friends' name) friend got them concert tickets and a motel for the entire weekend.

Today when she went to get her hair done and nails and spa... I got to thinking and remembered her birthday was in July. So I did the only respectable thing and called her mom and talked about knitting until she talked enough to drop what day my GFs birthday was then swiftly hung up.

So now I have to find her a gift or make plans. Won't be seeing her till Monday... I'm flat broke. I just spent all my money on a transmission. Maybe ill make her a macaroni card with my spare 6 dollars and get her a crack rose from a gas station.

Credit card. It's one thing to have the excuse of being flat broke, it's another to have spent it all on car parts. Been there, done that.

That's how I pour them all so I'm never surprised.

Minor confession? I "may" have yelled at my boss on Friday... and my bosses boss. Maybe...

How would she react to a dick in a box?

Been in that situation before, only I'd spent my money on a guitar. My 4th at the time. Do what I did: scrounge around the house/apartment for anything that you haven't used and don't think you ever will use. Pawn it, and beg/steal/lie/cheat and get up about $25.

Take said $20. Go to the grocery store and get a bouquet of flowers (~$5 cause its the grocery store), a steak/chicken/pasta and vegetables (anywhere from $5 to $15 if you do it right). Make her dinner, candle light cause its romantic and all that. Get a cheap bottle of wine, assuming she doesn't know wine very well. Find a bakery and buy a single nice cupcake.

Now you have a nice dinner, and a nice night, and you didn't have to break the bank.

I never put the tops down on my Miatas. In fact, only one of my Miatas even has a softtop under the hardtop.

If I can't put the top down, I don't bother driving the Miata.

I outgrew that about 10 years ago Now I drive them because they're good little sports cars, the fact that the roof comes off isn't important. Heck, they're faster with the roof up too. And with the strength of the sun around here, I'm just as happy to be in the shade with the AC on.

I always have the top down on my Miata because with no A/C it is worse with the top up.

I'm 24. I've been working on cars for about 10 years. I don't know how many brake rebuilds I've done during that period.

I just figured out that there are primary and secondary brake shoes, and it matters where they go.

I may have taken a perverse pleasure in keeping the revs up in the Javelin while next to a fox Mustang playing some E36 M3ty music way too loud. Darn carburetors just don't like to idle steady, amiright? I may also have then blown his doors off when the light turned...

When somebody with stupid deafening subwoofers rolls up to me at a light, I can't help but insert a zeppelin CD and up the volume till I cant hear them. They always look at me funny too, as if I'm the one causing some issue.

I also, finding that somebody had removed the blades form the riding lawnmower to find replacements, said berk it and pulled the two push mowers behind the tractor with HF rope. It kinda worked.
