Why did you change the re: line? I had this song stuck in my head the other day for some stupid reason.

I finally got rid of it.

Now it's back.

You fucker.

I think Timmy means you should buy something that you can afford rather than trying to lease something that would be beyond your means if you had to buy it and at the end of the lease you have nothing to show for it.

To be honest, I never understood car leasing -- blame it on my desire to own things but I just can't get comfortable with renting a car. Post 9/11, with the new car interest rates hovering around 0%, I don't know why anyone would lease rather than buy. I got a $40k car at 0.9%, will pay less than $1,000 interest over 4 years and have something of value at the end that I can drive for another 5+ years for "free" and still be able to make a few grand in resale or trade-in.

Because that means driving the same damn car for 5+ years and some of us just can't do that. Once the leather smell goes away, it's time for a new one!!!
Actually, I did have a car, once, for 7 years and it wasn't worth shit on trade in - they never are. Once it's out of warranty, it's history.

Fringey, this makes no sense whatsoever. If you're going to get into a flame war with the Robust One (Two?), you've got to do better. I think what you mean to say is that RP is to Fringey as Fringey is to Burger (come out an play, if you're woman enough!), but that means substituting RP for Fringey and Fringey for Burger. Feel free to run any new attempts at insult past me first, I don't want RP to have to waste her time with these.

I don't run things by stupid people. I was saying that like Burger, robust puppies are not up to engaging in flame wars with me because of the mismatch in skill levels.

I have to start wearing underwear . . . .

Was that a joke, or do you go commando? If you were being serious, I have new-found respect for you.

Pictures, of course, are always welcomed.

Mrs. Chef and I are working at home today. As we were just about to have sex, the cleaning woman showed up, walked into the foyer, and started yelling, "Hello?!?" The Mrs. threw on some clothes and ran downstairs, telling them that if they started on the first floor, we would stay upstairs. Lucky for us, the bedroom door has a lock on it.

Now would be an appropriate time for all of you to weigh in with stories of your own examples of coitus interruptus, or almost coitus interruptus.

Two words....

Hotel

Housekeeping. (said with a slight accent and upward inflection and add sound effect of 2 knocks)

I have to say I agree with you here. T&T isn't doing me any favors.

I believe I'm supposed to flail wildly in my own defense for your amusement before succumbing to your ultimately superior intellect and wit, so here goes.

This is really a relatively simply gramatical construct, one that any good Puppy would jump on, and, after all, ABBA is a fine potential candidate for a tussle this afternoon. She feels some pride because she has attempted to import a very witty saying on the board, but she mangled it in the process. It is up to us to call her on it.

Yes, I am a tribute sock and I may be going beyond my raison d'etre by taking on ABBA. But you are looking for entertainment, no? And ABBA can be entertaining if we get her ticked enough. Ty is willing to help.

We should go on strike.

If that's true it's only because your multiple personalities give you more opportunity to practice your ripostes.

Jeezus Aych, don't you know who Hobbes is? Hardly a stupid tiger.

Yes. And I love Hobbes. Love Calvin too.
It's just that T&T dogged my avatar yesterday and I'm just striking back. No offense to Hobbes - my favorite tiger.

Oh, no, Ms. Einstein, you don't run things by stupid people like me or engage in flame wars with the Robust One. Instead you engage in a flame war with the Robust One's little puppy whom you think is so stupid? Who's up to whose standards here?

Try again.

I am sure that the board will agree that I am mostly right when I say that I speak for most other posters when I say please do.

hmmm, two years already on the current TF-Mobile and still smells new. My rainy-day car is 8 years old and still smells nice (but not new). Have your car detailed once a week, don't eat or drink in it (or allow anyone else to) and it will stay nice for years after it is paid for. You are correct, trade in can be tough. But you can always find someone who will pay a couple grand for a decent running car. Or donate it and take the tax write-off.

These stories are solid gold, I'm telling you.

Keep the name too. I gift it to you much in the same loving manner as Leagl when she gave me my nice shiny new hockey avatar lo these many weeks ago. Go forth and be the best There's and That sock that you can. Besides, if I had a sock that might mean that I have to start wearing underwear which would certainly cramp my style on optional days.

Thank you, I accept your gift in the spirit in which it was given.
T&T - We're on!

Sniff. Sniff.

Okay.

I'm so misunderstood.
