Grrr. I saw a UPS truck parked in a compact spot the other day. A UPS truck! I'm seriously considering pre-printing notes to stick on windshields in my parking garage that say stuff like "One car, one parking space" and "Just because it's smaller than an Excursion, your Expedition is not a compact car."

Oh sure. It's okay when Hank goes out and spends all that hard-earned cash on women who aren't interested. But when he's trying to get a little attention himself, it's tacky? Doesn't seem fair.

Preemption: And no, when he showed up at Rawhide, I didn't so much as give him a wink.

No wink, but admit we did share a laugh about these guys making fun of someone who is 5' 3", or 5' 8" and wishing to be 5' 9." Is there a difference between all of those?

Plus, even if I was working my sex rap at Rawhide it wouldn't be on you. I'm not sure I fully understand the dbl-anal positioning, but I know it doesn't work if we're 2 of the 3.

Somewhere you can get stickers that say "I'm changing the environment, ask me how!" in bulk.

I thought the traditional method for displaying displeasure with huge vehicles over flowing compact spots (or just taking up more than one space generally) was to ding the doors.

Surprisingly, one of the better fits for the over 6 foot set, provided that you don't need anything bigger than a gym bag in the seat behind you.

I was shocked by how comfortable it was. But you're right, if you're in the back seat, you're folded.

Wonder if anybody's buying drinks first?

Do you think this will hurt my chances with PP?

Ironically, the Bush buys the drinks.

I have a friend who puts whatever trash he has in his car on cars that are taking up multiple compact spaces. It is not clear if the owners understand why they come out to trash on their vehicles, but the satisfaction of putting it there makes my friend feel better anyway. Note: this only works in enclosed parking garages (this post is not advocating littering).

Canadian was not meant as an insult. I was merely anticipating your response in advance. I didn't even know he was Canadian until you pointed it out to me the last time I ranted on how bad he sucks as a quarterback.

ah. no worries.

I'm not sure. I gave you an extra 7 purnts for the pink steering wheel, but I don't think she feels the same way. You better buy an Audi, change your clothes and start ordering off the top shelf, just to be safe.

You're not dating RT's sister, are you?

Well, not anymore. She had . . . issues.

A former co-worker (biked to work) would use ketchup packets to write "WIDE LOAD" and other endearing phrases on large SUVs. I think he quit doing it b/c he couldn't find organic ketchup in packets.

Or maybe it was b/c the big boss drove a Suburban. Not sure.

Obviously not. As Ollie implied, the back seat is far too small.

Thats part of it. This is a ridiculous car because of that (though I dont know enough about cars but maybe it is a really high quality thing worth its price tag but I suspect not bc its a gimmicky little fruitmobile).

but mostly its tantamount to str8 loving the von bondies or whatever the fuck. its trying to say you are oringinal and cool bc you drive this stupid car which is supposed to be so originial and cool. unless you designed and invented that stupid thing, you dont get cool points for owning that silly fruitbox

and its a fruitbox. reminds me of a miata in a big hoop skirt.

I never said I love the Von Bondies. I said I think they're better than the Libertines.

I may however, be falling in like with the Darkness after seeing their endlessly goofy and fun show on Sunday night. That cat can wear a jumpsuit-with-a-cut-away-front like nobody's business. The bass player isn't helping much with the Spinal Tap comparisons either - the man IS Derek Smalls.
Can anyone find an image of him?
Here's jumpsuit boy.
