My language use is being affected by watching TV again.

I just used the phrase "fingersnap army" without joking.

Please smack me in the head if I ever do that within earshot of you.

...man, I don't even get that! Google wasn't even helping! Man...

The basic idea is that they're the people that show up when you snap your fingers. I think it's a few rungs up the social ladder from a homeboy ambulance.

And on that note, you should read ¡Ask a Mexican!. It slays me.

Better link for Ask-A-Mexican:

Um, what's a fingersnap army?

Re: Tv deprived

A fingersnap army is the people that show up when you snap your fingers.

I don't think I actually have one, but the flying monkeys never bring my broom around when I whistle either.

Izzat like two snaps up in a don't ask/don't tell Hummer?

[oddharmonic]

I don't know, but I saw a don't ask/don't tell Hummer last week! It was an H3 in that Mary Kay pink color, complete with the Mary Kay vinyl on the back window.

Almost peed myself laughing.

No SHIT? The Baptists must be reeling!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Since the company doesn't "do" pink Hummers, I have to guess this was a custom-paint job from a gay driver?

I need a Big Gay Al icon!

[oddharmonic]

No shit, don't know, and probably. There are a ridiculous number of SUVs here, mostly only carrying one person at a time. Because everything's bigger in Texas, especially Plano Woman's breast implants. (I know someone here who's a G cup after her fourth augmentation.)

I'll be able to do better after I finish installing my preferred software on my new-to-me computer, but here's a little Big Gay Al:

I want a fingersnap army now.

Sorry to switch gears in your car journal, but…

…electricia asked Where might I purchase faux pearl beads, but with no holes drilled in them? [….] Michael's has none, only ones with holes drilled in them. Online or brick-and-mortar is fine.
And I told her that you might know.

[oddharmonic]

Craftware carries pearl-finish glass beads without holes in 1mm and 1.5mm diameter: http://www.craft-ware.com/Glass_Beads.htm

These don't come in pearl, but for general stocking-up on beads without holes American Science and Surplus has them in what sounds like 1.5mm diameter (they give an Imperial measurement) for the cheap price of $1/oz: http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=1365

And this is the kind of oddment that sits in the back of my head although I have no idea what beads without holes are used for.

Thank you! I've passed these suggestions along to electricia.
