Torture as Foreign Policy

Nov 02, 2004 10:19

I didn't attempt to get up early and beat the rush to the polls. I knew it was fruitless (getting up early, not beating the rush). Besides, I had already laid the foundation for being late to work today and I don't mind lines when extreme people watching is involved ( Read more... )

Chevy Cavalier. Oh yeah. I feel like maybe you should apply to get The General on MTV's Pimp My Ride.

I have tried, tried, tried to get them to Pimp My Volvo. I think I'm out of the running because I don't live in California. Trust me, if I did, me and The General would have our 15 minutes of fame on MTV. My car is THAT bad. It's High Jet bad if ya know what I mean.

If they pimped my Volvo, that bitch would be up on eBay faster than you could say Xhibit!

your car and mine both.

i was ready to scrap sheila but my mechanic thinks it's a challenge. so two weeks and i'm still waiting to get my car back.

denverbettie November 2 2004, 12:12:40 UTC

Yeah, and in your case and mine, "a challenge" translates into mucho revenue.

now i know why only service animals were allowed into my voting location. how come i never run into people i know? ever.

jesus christ. i can't believe The General still lives. bravo! viva la General!

If you lived in my neighborhood, you would understand about the dog. No one even flinched. Eventually, when it wouldn't stop puking, someone was savvy enough to put the HUGE yellow sheets featured in DahliaMoon's post underneath it. Lovely.

The General's fate was decided as you were typing that comment. I told my mechanic what I was willing to put into it and he told me he could turn The General into a Swan for that amount. There goes what little of my severence that was left over. I also paid for Mexico and bought roller skates. I'm responsible.

please remember to post before and after photos of the general.

ps: i just might be getting close to a mexico reimbursement. if so, i can finally dismantle the Homage to Lost Mexico collage which has been serving as a reminder to get my money.

I need a digicam. Seriously. If I decide not to buy new light up wheels for my skates, I'll look into it.

Yikes! I thought that was taken care of. BUT why am I not surprised. Just think, it was like having the money in savings. Only without interest. Wait, that didn't work.

All of a sudden it either smells like cat pee or pankcakes in my office.

By the time next Halloween comes your car will be a Frankenvehicle.

Re: Festivo! denverbettie November 3 2004, 07:50:39 UTC

With my driving record, I hardly think it will take until next Halloween.

The General lives on - bitchin'. Let's hope this talk of making it look like a swan is for real, yo. However, I get a sinking suspicion that he just realizes that if you buy another car, it won't require near as much maintainence as The General.

The storm trooper is female? Did the empire even allow female storm troopers?

denverbettie November 3 2004, 07:52:05 UTC

You would be surprised how non-committal and uncaring my mechanic is. He literally, after finally getting fed up with me yesterday said, "You know what, I don't really care. It's not my car."

How could he be so heartless?

The storm trooper is female. And weird.
