girls gone wild watering hole dream
Category: potpourri
Interesting article. What do you think?

Women in the "Girls Gone Wild" Era:


We have this on in the office all the time. It's a live cam of a watering hole on a South African game reserve. Check it out:


The other night I had a dream. Reflective of my reality right now but odd how it played out:

Apparently a nuclear bomb was headed our way. Somehow through the mysteries of this ironic universe we live in, I ended up on a tour bus full of people I dislike. Sure it was a fancy bus with white leather upholstery and a well stocked bar, but wtf about the company? Not only was it full of those I dislike, I was also the guest of honor...(come on, can you smell that irony cookin?)...AKA the bus driver.

That's right, the bus driver. Not that I know how to drive an oversized tour bus or anything. The closest thing I drive is a 12 passenger van and that's plenty big for me thanks. Drive a big bus full of people I dislike away from a nuclear bomb. I was adamant that I'd rather die swiftly in a blast of radiant ash than to save these people.

An announcement came from the sky that there was to be an explosion at the quickie mart next to us. Everyone was screaming for me to drive away. I refused. Then a cargo van in the parking lot blew up all Hollywood style. 20 feet of vertical flames, 360 rotation, and a smashing drop. My passengers were freaking out. I was being stubborn. I didn't care.

I began to scream back at them that I was not their savior. Why in the fuck of this world should I always have to save others? Especially this bus load of others I could care less for. People who had betrayed me, hurt me, used me, abused me....I was their savior?

Awesome and glad I wasn't on the bus

I hope I wasn't on your bus of doom! That is hillarious and very sinister. What usually goes on at the watering hole? I here lots of animals and bugs but no one is coming for a drink :(

I was hoping that article would be longer. I can't say to much since I didn't read the book. But I think that Playboy Bunnies and other Women in porn do give women Power. Is it true that it gives power to ladies who look like models only, Yes it is. Can it be argued that those women give men unreal expectations of women in their everyday life, yeah, and that is a valid point. But for women who like money and being in front of a camara and chose to do it they can be verry sucessfull or use that money to go to school, I don't think the power is faux. Playboy is actually now run by Hef's daughter but he still picks most of the girls. There are a couple porn companies run my women. I just read today on yahoo about a group of women who Jello Wrestle each other for fun and not to entertain guys and they started it them selves.

Ok the dream. Wow that is some deep stuff. That dream seems to have a lot of issues in it . I'm wondering if you drove towards the bomb on purpose and what happend.

aqua mouse returns, again!
Category: car woes
I just picked up a relatively healthy Aqua Mouse at the shop. I'm sooooooooo happy. As it turns out, something was wrong with the shifting cable and it wasn't able to properly lock in park. This was, as a safety feature, preventing the car from starting. Best news, this time, it only cost me $40!!!! I think that needs to go down in the record books as the least amount of money I have ever paid when taking my car in for repairs. Sweet! So, to all of you that have been so kind as to give me rides during the last 3 weeks, I am most grateful. You know I will return the favor any time! Ciao.
ladycroft - 11/10/05 20:03
He thought it was the neutral safety switch. That is what was replaced last time.
theecarey - 11/10/05 19:43
what was wrong and fixed the first time?? We knew that the shifting cable had an issue from when I called AAA at party city that night.. and the tow guy assessed it as that.
paul - 11/10/05 19:37
That is aweosme, I never had any car thing cost $40. Maybe an oil change.
