It wasn't necessarily an unreasonable fear, though I'm happy to report that none of the cars, automatic or shift, ended up in a lake. There were some pretty wild parties at the house, though, when my parents were away for the weekend, which was often.
I love risky business. The best is Joey Pants [Joe Pantalione also of the sopranos] saying "Joel I really really like you"

You're making this argument to the wrong half of the couple.

weren't you going to fly to Atlanta just for some strange? do you know how polluting a gas trubine jet engine is? is the difference over the "normal," or your hand, really worth the damage to the ozone layer?

It was the winery parking lot or not at all. I "chose" not at all. Sighhhhhhh.....

I did score an excellent milkshake on the way home. Not sure how that impacted my carbon footprint, but it was deeeeelicious!

The IRS made me.

OBTW my V8 4runner gets the same gas mileage as my crunchy Subaru outback.

Hank, I must give props; you have mad photshopping skillz.

[[even if your latest creation is a river of snot or perhaps rinsing one out blech.]]

I used to play that all the time, like, decades ago. Those have been in puzzle variety magazines (I think published by Dell) forever. Some of my favorite puzzles - I would usually do those and the logic problems first. Yes, I'm a puzzle dork.

For Icky Thump

Teach this to Icky Jr.'s hockey team for a little added intimidation.

The haka on ice isn't quite as impressive as on the rugby field but the All Blacks have a longer prouder history than New Zealand's hockey team.

translation: Hank and wife may have parties straight out of the 70s suburbia, but atticus' lonely times are the same any solitary aging man could have had in 1978.
