LOL I don't spend as much time as it seems.


Whether my reputation is "proper" or not also depends on who you talk too. I have received threats, asked to go and fight and called just about every name you can think of. I could show you PMs that would make your skin crawl. Luckily that group is a very small one and usually get themselves banned anyway.
You can't please everybody so you have to please yourself.

Of this, I have no doubt, though I'm sure yours is still mostly "proper" regardless of what hateful internet people say. You'll find that crap anywhere.

Also, the line about not pleasing everyone, very true. I'm more used to annoying people than pleasing them so I know how to only worry about myself at this point because trying to change that is very difficult, it seems.

Go slap him.

That's nothing compared to how a wookiee marks its territory.

No, chickened out. I'll just have to drive my ruined POS.

He is normally a pretty decent guy so not sure how his elitist button got pushed.

Guess I'm good at pressing buttons.

Well stop it! That is my job.


Speaking of buttons I was stuck in traffic behind a fender bender on the way home and just sat there watching the bumper to bumper stop and go traffic go past in the other lane. Started counting the cars that were obviously texting or talking on a phone. It was a shocking 26 out of 42! This was in the very worst type of stop and go traffic where you get almost up to speed and suddenly have to stop again. It is wonder anybody gets out of that unscathed.

I'll admit to it, but only if it's true gridlock, like, haven't moved half a foot in 10 minutes maybe one of my family members is watching the news and can tell me what the hell is going, gridlock.

Also, I know in the past I've expressed numerous ideas about various cars and engine configurations, but I might have finally found one that could be obtainable. I fear mentioning the car out loud though because of the whole 240z tripling it's price after I started liking it thing.

They arrived to find ... the area cordoned off by yellow tape, not put there by police.

Some of my favorite highlights:

"Obviously someone had intentionally put it up there, because it was tied to a winch system," said Capt. Adrian Ratushniak, of Toronto Fire Services, who described the car as a four-door sedan similar to a Honda Civic.
Well obviously! "Similar to"? They can't tell?

"One theory is that the car was part of a prank like those in years past by university students" The engineering students pull this sort of stuff every year. There is a mystery here?

"Both the University of Toronto and Ryerson University say they've spoken with their students and have been told they weren't involved" There are around 5,000 in Toronto. Did they gather them all in a room as say "Hey any of you guys hang a car from a bridge?" They expected somebody to say yes?

"Engineering student Arin Minasian said he could imagine a few different ways to get the job done, saying it looked like a "low-budget operation." Would there be any engineering student pulling off high budget pranks?
