Yea, tell her happy b-day from participants of the most intellectual and high-brow conversation thread on the internet.

Maybe someday the guy that started it or the guy that it is named after will come back to the group.

Left over what?

I think I prefer left over spaghetti to the original meal. Somehow the sauce seems to taste better after 24 hrs in the fridge.

Well this punk assed little snot bucket kid in a clapped out Honda with the full auto zone performance package rolled up behind Beth and was on her ass. I called her and told her to pop the rear fog lights on him going into turn, she did and is pissed him off so he crawled her even tighter. I called her back and told her to pass me on a double yellow and let me have the little punk. We never got the chance, but..............
The camper turned off and left us open twisty road, I gassed it to let Beth have some road and before I know it she is heading on top of me like she was shot out of a cannon. Okay I see it is playtime, I hang a little foot into the Boxster and walk away, Beth keeps the coals thrown on and low and behold the kid in the Honda can't hang.
Well funny thing is I know the kid and so does my son so I call Skilz (my son) and tell him the story and he starts laughing. He tells me he is going to call this kid and inform him that he got his ass handed to him by a Grandmother of three in a Mercedes.
I can't wait to run into this kid, I am going to have a few words with him.
good times.

i embarrassed a subaru STI punk in parley's canyon the other day. i let him catch up to me twice. i throttled back at 120MPH. this was in the 951, not jezebel.

the 951 scares me more than any motorcycle i've owned.

Spent the morning riveting the front bumper back together on the Highlander.
Youngest daughter (yeah same one) hit a coyote last night.
Split the bumper (plastic) in two places, bent the trans. oil cooler bracket and ripped the inner fender liner out. No body damage (well....cept for the coyote) so that's a plus.
Drove to the scene of the crime to see if i could find a few missing pieces of the bumper ........found a few..... and a deceased coyote.

Don't want it back, I like my 928. Just as quick, more comfortable, and sounds better.

Evening folks. Tonight I think a saw a guy quit his job. Two guys talking with lots of arm waving. The one guy takes off his yellow safety jacket and threw it on the ground and walked off.

Walked into Best Buy this afternoon to get some new earbud things since my current ones have a bad speaker and are not comfortable. I got side tracked by the $5 CD bin. I scored a Jethro Tull live CD, a compilation of 'Classical Masterpieces', a Rod Stewart greatest hits CD, and an Allman Brothers Band greatest hits CD. I decided to pass on the DEVO greatest hits (have most of them on iTunes already) and the Back Sabbath "Paranoid" album.

Then I went over and found some earbud things that don't lodge in your ear- they have the over-ear hooks to secure them, much more comfortable. The funny thing is I was looking at several versions and picked one up, then checked the price -$80! I looked right next to it and something pretty similar was $9.99. I chose that one.
