Not since we found out you can swim. That takes all the fun out of it.

His T-shirt fits.

Does he have these t-shirt fits often?

It drove OK but I took it real easy over bumps.

I wouldn't call that cheating. Your car did hold a quarter ton of bricks (or reasonably close to it).

I wouldn't try that with my hatchback, though. Sometimes it's a struggle to get her up a steep hill!

Good fucking snack is whip cream and cherries

I got all addicted to a coffee chocolate chip gelato they sell at Freddie's, comes in a neat screwtop jar. It's really tasty and hey, free leftover container!

Swim my insisted on putting on her own pajamas tonight. Her shorts are on inside out and backwards, but his time they're right side up with one leg per hole so that's an improvement over the first two tries.

[Amythyst]

Solfy, that's adorable. How old is she now?

She'll be three in October. She acts like she already is.

[Khampelf]

I remember being that age, shuffling around in my dad's shoes and wearing his glasses. I remember being encouraged to get up and walk instead of crawling.

[SmartAleq]

Hey, at least she's trying--TO decided it was pretty cool the way people would just fix his clothes for him and had to be firmly told that big boys put their own pants on. He's fine with it now, but for a while there I thought he was gonna have to be the only third grader with a valet.

It's also better than Giraffe on most days...

I've had worse clothing malfunctions as an adult, to be honest.

I went outside this morning to find that my car's battery was almost dead. Fortunately I still have a ton of vacation time to use by the end of the year. I took the morning off from work and got Serenity all fixed up.

[Flying Saucerian]

What was the problem? Leave the lights on?

Recently had a bad gas leak on my car. Got it fixed, but it cost most of the money I'd managed to save. Moreover, my brother convinced me I was being silly to try to have it towed so I ended up driving it to the mechanic myself. Was informed later by others I could have been killed. I must stop listening to him. He was also the one who tried to make me feel guilty for not trying to drive my old car just because the brakes had gone completely out. "Well, if you just be careful and keep a wide distance between you and the other cars..."

[SmartAleq]

Batteries just get elderly, that's why they have prorated warranties.

[EmilyG]

I've had problems with my car battery. I think it's okay for now though.

I think that's all it was in this case. Serenity's battery was several years old. I didn't replace it earlier because Toyota tested it not too long ago and told me it was good.

[BJMoose]

Serenity?

There's an emotion I'll never experience while driving. . . .

My cousin tried that once. Her mom gave her money to fix the brakes, but she spent it on other stuff. She figured she'd just pull the emergency brake if she needed to stop.

When the inevitable accident occurred, she blamed the other drivers for not getting out of her way.

I once ground a set of disc brakes down to nothing and gouged up the rotors badly, I was stopping on the rear drum brakes only. Amazing what poverty can make you do.

[boomerwang]

Never thought it was possible to make a barely edible roast pork sandwich. But fuck me, some kindly soul took time out their day to fight my ignorance. How the fuck can you screw up a roast pork sandwich???

[Khampelf]

Stale bread?

Pork overcooked?

Salad creme?

[SmartAleq]

I had an '89 Chevy Cavalier Z24 (like this one, but considerably more slatternly looking) named Firefly. That was a fun car, V6, 5sp manual and handled a lot better than it had a right to given its age and being FWD instead of RWD. She had bullet holes in the dash and through the passenger door--I ran into the guy who owned her when it happened, friend was assing off and put three rounds through her. She had a rakish charm and I really miss her. Bought her for a hunnert bucks and had to tow her home, spent more on getting her up and running than an already tarted up one would have cost but it was a labor of love. At that point I had the largest and the smallest of the Chevy lineup--G10 van and the Cav, in white and black, respectively. That was a fun set of cars.

There's pork was hickory smoked, which I usually don't have a problem with. But then they added a gravy that didn't suit. It's like combining custard and garlic. And there were chunks of gristle. And it was insanely overpriced. The alfalfa on top was pretty good, though.

[SmartAleq]

Man, there's nothing worse than a bad example of something that should be foolproof. That's a hangin' offense!

[Jaglavak]

Damn, I'm good.

[Khampelf]

Damn, Jag's good.

[The Futility of Nihilism]

Damn, Khamp's good.

[Wolf Larsen]

Damn, FoN is good at saying Khampy's good.

[Glazer]

It's all good.

. . . from Diego to the Bay.

[boomerwang]

There'll be whiskey in the jar.

[boomerwang]

Oops dp.

[SmartAleq]

Well, now you're ahead one so you can open the thread but not post!

[boomerwang]

Yay! Oh the freedom!

[boomerwang]

Oh shit >_<

[Flying Saucerian]

Can I post first?

I mean, I can do both at the same time but I'll get kicked out of the library...

[SmartAleq]

Live dangerously, I always say.

[Flying Saucerian]

So you want me to drive without brakes too?

Okay...


YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!




Uh-oh...

[SmartAleq]

What could possibly go wrong?

[BJMoose]

The car could run out of kinetic energy before it got to the giraffe. . . .
