"Vogor?" Where do you live, in the Matrix?

Well, okay, but hearing guys talk about choking their monkey is not really that hot, either. Except in maybe a gaymalepornhomoerotic way. But if you are really really hot, I might have a look.

I may be considered a little off for enduring what I did voluntarily but you my friend, are just plain weird.

Please. Pluto's like the uninvited party guest who looks out of place. Everyone figures he must be in the right place, because, hey, who crashes a party? People whisper, and wonder why he made the guest list. Finally, everyone realizes he's not supposed to be there, and he's asked to leave. The way I look at it, the party crasher got free beer and chips for 75 years, and has come out ahead.

Pluto's more like the kid who was invited to sit at the grown ups table at Thanksgiving every year for the last 75 years and it didn't even occur to him that there'd be anywhere else for him to sit. His cool uncle invited him to use the good china and eat with real forks. And one of his cousins always made sure that he got a half a glass of wine, too. It wasn't until a rules oriented, kid hating grandmother noticed him sitting there that anyone cared.

I didn't say it was. Are you pregnant, or do you have a pot belly or something? This is an odd response.

It's even the same color as this one but the neightbor's car's paint job is faded:

The thing is, that grandmother saw his three brothers and sisters peering in through the dining-room window, with a "why not me, too" look on their faces. Except their faces were dirty, and pockmarked, and the sisters and brothers kept running around in odd directions. So rather than invite them in, she told pluto to run along with the other rapscallions.

Pluto's like the associate who toils for what feels like 75 years worth of billables over a ten year period and before he gets unceremoniously upped and outted, doesn't even get a reach around.

Yes. It's called a Honda Accord.

The way she phrased it. weird man. that and I'm still smarting from her consistent Victoriana like postings of Victorian Period Art. That is also weird and annoying.

They changed the name roughly a million years ago. Christ. She specified it was old.

Burger, it is not an Accord. There were already Accords before anyone dreamed up the Vigor.

No doubt, I just never focused on the brand name, just the writing on the trunk. I know it's unAmerican but I really couldn't give a shit about cars beyond their utility and some comfort.
