Today is not an "I'm going to attack Sidd's choices" day. (That's tomorrow.)

Which choices are you planning to attack tomorrow? I'd like to get geared up. Gird my loins, so to speak.

Looking at your posts is like watching a police car chase on "The Worlds Most Amazing Videos". You just know the outcome is going to be bad but you just can't look away. You have also made the FB board infinitely more interesting, just like a gruesome car accident can make you look at a side of the road on your commute you have never noticed before.

I realize you asked for this, and told TM to give you an honest assessment, but I am a strong believer that when a female asks you if she is fat or unattractive you never tell them the truth. No exceptions. It is similar to the situation if you are hiding Jews in your attic, and the Nazis ask you if you are hiding Jews, you always, always lie.

But having said that, I am going back to the politics board; I just can't watch you humiliate yourself anymore. It is too painful. You really need to reread Bold and Brazen's post concerning this issue like six or seven times. It is spot on. And then get some therapy. Seriously. I am not kidding. The fact that you need acceptance and affirmations from completely anonymous posters on the internet is just not a good sign. I am almost sure you won't listen to me and will lash out at me for this post, but I had to give it a shot.

And I'm not 6'11 like Hank, either. On the internets or otherwise.

(ETA re: ncs' comment. I am, however, as tall as Coltrane on the internets. I would say there is certainly enough headroom/legroom for someone my height, given my prior caveat. The biggest challenge w/r/t the Mini, at least for me, was having to climb up to exit a vehicle, instead of climb down. That's either because I am A) brittle, or 2) out of practice.)
It didn't seem to work very well for someone I live with, who is 6'4" on the internet, when we looked at one at the car show. Although in LA we could have kept the sunroof open pretty much all the time, so that is a mitigating factor. He had a height issue with the top of the car, not a legroom issue.

How tall are you? I'm 5'3", so I admit I have it easy. But my ex- was 5'9" or 5'10" (he was always shading it, who knows) and he drove the thing seemingly comfortably. But fair enough - 6' or more would be snug.

He pushed the seat all the way back and my legs pretty much had to abandon that side of the car.

Hands down, though, the most surprisingly roomy vehicle I've ever been in was a friend from college's 1972 VW Rabbit (diesel). She was the only one in our group of friends with a car, and three of us used to pile in the back without a problem at all. That was an awesome car. It got something like 52 mpg, which was probably good because it was a pain in the ass to find feul for it.

I must have unnaturally long legs for my height, because an my adult-sized daughter had to sit behind my sister, who is 5'7. That was manageable.

Agree w/r/t the diesel Rabbit. I had one of these and mostly liked it.

Best features: Roomy and great mileage.

Worst features:

Not a good cold-weather car, unless you have a place to plug it in.

Vulnerable to leaking head gaskets. I personally had to replace two of these, which even then, was expensive (even to do it yourself) and a collossal pain-in-the-ass.

My first stage role was as the King in "The Punctuation Proclamation." The play concerns a king who, having mistaken a period for a fly, decrees that periods, commas, and the like shall no longer be used. Hilarity and confusion ensue. Eventually he reviews a menu and is disgusted by what appears to be a dessert of "coffee cigars."

Apparently, no one thought to replace the periods with a line-break. But I digress.

You really should read or see this play. The lesson, if absorbed, will make your posts more comprehensible. Which may or may not be a good thing, but still.

(I was in third grade, btw.)

Officials: Man says penis pump is a bomb Thu Aug 24, 11:31 AM ET


CHICAGO - Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn't want her to know he'd packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey.

So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.

Madin Azad Amin, 29, of Skokie, was stopped Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.

When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.

He later told officials he'd lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn't want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said.

He's been charged with felony disorderly conduct, said Andrew Conklin, a spokesman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.

My first car was a 1980 four speed, two-door Rabbit (black with a red racing stripe and red vinyl interior - with hot pink/magenta plastic window turners from the sun). Not a diesel. Great car. My mom and I changed the distributor cap in the driveway (my only major car repair project EVER, well, maybe major overstates it a bit). This is why I like the cars that I like to this day. Heck, I might even consider a new Rabbit after they come out this fall. Loved it.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap.

When I bought my car, I was looking for a convertible with a real back seat (for the kid) that got solid reviews from Consumer Reports and similar sources.

I bought a Jeep GC with about 75000 miles on it a year ago for $8,000. I plan to drive it for three or four years, hopefully sell it for about $4,000, and buy another one with 75000 miles on it for $8,000.

Good news. The guy in India who opened a Hitler-themed restaurant has agreed to change the name due to public pressure.

The bad news is he's changing the name to Luftwaffle...
