I'd like a small, lightweight laptop computer. I would have bought one for myself already (instead of using Mr Man's big, heavy laptop all the time), except for the fact that I hate the process of buying and loading computers. And I'm lazy. Turns out that my laziness will end up saving me (or anyone who decides to buy one for me) mucho dineros, as I've wanted basically the same power and size of laptop for over a year now and they get cheaper and cheaper by the day. By the time I get around to buying one, they will be free or something.

I think they'll probably pay you to take one.

Hello, Gentle Reader –

I’m writing you today to tell you the story of Gus....

I've heard tell that a .22 will get a cat out of a tree, and the cat will never climb said tree again.

(Hands turned palms up, expression says "I'm just sayin.....)

This is Gus.

Gus looks just like Max, the younger Fugee Cat, other than for Max's white paws. Max is not allowed outside or he no doubt would have pulled the Gus stunt many times.

I recommend the strictly indoor cat strategy.

Speaking of beer...BERLIN - A German man drank too much, wet his bed and set fire to his apartment while trying to dry his bedding, police in the western town of Muelheim said on Monday.

“He was too drunk to go to the toilet,” said a police spokesman. “The next morning he put a switched-on hair dryer on the bed to dry it and left the apartment.” When the 60-year-old returned, his home and belongings were in flames.

HA.

Example #58,000,000 that Adam Carolla's "Germany or Florida" theory is correct.

For those of you who don't listen to Loveline, Adam Carolla's hypothesis is that virtually all bizarro news stories originate from either Germany or Florida. Listeners would call in with a real news item and challege Adam and Dr. Drew (and guests) to guess whether the event happened in Germany or Florida.

It even had its own theme song.

My FIL takes a to-go drink with him in the car wherever he goes. Along with his loaded handgun. I can't believe he's still alive, frankly.

And we wonder why the Europeans drive 130 MPH, drink at 16 but still live longer than we do.

That's cold, and I think unduly limiting.

Wonk you go right ahead and post. Please do not self-censor.

I didn't realize you looked like Don Knotts.

I have heard this segment of Loveline. It does not redeem Loveline from being entirely lame, annoying and unfunny. However it is a good premise for a segment.

Loveline is one of those shows that you find funny the first time or two that you hear it in that "Oh, they're talking about sex stuff on the radio!" sort of way. Until you realize that over half the callers are making shit up to get on the radio and the other half have the same boring problems over and over again so you could listen to one week of the show and it is the equivalent of listening to an entire annoying lifetime of it.

I want a car. I don't expect to get one, so I won't bother with a link. But I want one.

And you've been coming to these boards for how many years?

One reason we don't tend to stick up for you, is you seem ungrateful when we do stick up for you.

Agreed . . . but in my defense, there's not much else on on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. when I'm driving back home from my hockey game. And sometimes they have good guests.

Agreed... but in my defense, I'm a part of the half of the posters who are making things up in order to be heard in the internets. And sometimes Penske has funny socks.

Texas just passed its Open Container Law while we lived there.

Did they then have to get rid of all the curbside trash cans that were angled so you could toss in your empties while at the stop light?

Some years ago I visited a state where they had drive-thru liquor stores and gave plastic drinking glasses with the sale. That was eye opening coming from a state where everything is regulated.
