A picture is worth a thousand words -- Look, there's a G8 out ahead of the Allure -- now that looks nicer and cleaner.

Can't hear you, sonny. Can't see you either, sonny. Come again?

I am very sorry to hear this, Dodgefan. You've written very caring words about her. That speaks to your love for her and I am sure she knew and was inspired by that. I remember getting the call that my Dad had passed away. I was living in Seattle at the time and had to drive down to Portland for the funeral. It was surreal...that whole 175 mile drive. I know what that feels like. My condolences.

moltie. That's great. A lady at work said he looked like one of those zombie people / living dead that you see in the movies. However, your description seems to be more accurate.

He's odd all the way around...including that coiff. I've heard the assertions that he is mentally ill and they are believable. How does a Narcissistic Personality Disorder differ from a Borderline Personality Disorder?

I'm laughing at the underlined portion, Invicta, since I never thought that....and I was born in LA and have spent most of my life in the West. When I thought of North Carolina, even as a little kid who loved geography, I always thought the following: green, gorgeous winding roads in the Smokies, great universities like Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, Cape Hatteras jutting out into the Atlantic, potential hurricane threats, slight Southern accent (well, it IS the South), smack in the middle of the Atlantic seaboard, and lots of brick homes and buildings. I've always thought of it as being a lot like Virginia (which I know better), but at a more southern latitude. Well, I'll find out in a few weeks.

pretentious and for no good reason

I saw "porn industry slumping" and read on. I was thinking "erections aren't supposed to slump..." Oh, yeah, the SoCal part. Most of the filming evidently occurs in warehouses smack in the middle of the banal parts of the San Fernando Valley. I couldn't even believe how many times I may have driven past one of these places within eyeshot of "the 405" and not even had a clue as to what might have been going on there.

Nice. They're good, reliable vehicles. It's also a nice looking car and the front end looks is nicely proportioned. They are much nicer than the Cavalier and, God knows, you see many of those on the road. That 2.2 seems to have been around, so it will serve you for a long time. Right...the 2009 wheel covers are attractive, but you can also buy some second-hand in near perfect condition if you are willing to wait. For some reason, my car does NOT have the instant mileage readout...maybe that's good, I'd be looking at it too much. Congrats. And I'm digging the Calgary neighborhood background shots.

My response to thread: Eastern Europe (that's where most of the hookers in Western Europe come from...and their life stories can be very sad)

Ok, I get it, then stay the f@#k away from the great whites and the saltwater crocs.

You're SO corporate... BTW, did you go to Latin Mass today?

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Happy Birthday... or if I can be obnoxious and do the multi-lingual thing: Buon Compleanno.
