Hey Chicken, can I, like, smell you?

I'll go. cylinder ----> lock.

I got a coupon for a free, large order of Corn Egg Drop soup for New Year last week when I stopped by a local restaurant.

Our manager has just departed to purchase a local independent bodyshop with two other guys. It's called "Dutch Valley Motor Works". I had a brainstorm for a TV commercial I'm thinking about pitching to him. He's about 6'4", 320 pounds, with a beard. One of the other guys is about the same height, but really thin. The third guy is built like a boxer, shorter than the others. Of course, I want to be compensated for my creativity. It goes like this. "Dutch Valley Girls" Scene: front office. A customer walks in to the sound of a door chime and stands at the front counter. Manager emerges from office wearing a long blonde wig and speaks. "Like, Oh My God! How can I help you today!?" Customer looks dumbfounded, but smiles. He takes a step back. "I had an accident and need an estimate for repairs." Before manager can answer, the second guy emerges from another office wearing a long blonde wig. "Like... no WAY! I can totally help you with that!" Customer is a bit confused, but goes along. "Does your bodyshop deal with insurance companies? Do you guarantee your work?" Before the second guy can answer, a third guy emerges from a third office wearing a blonde wig. "Like, OH MY GOD, sir! We, like, TOTALLY guarantee our repairs, and we have a totally TUBULAR relationship with just about all insurance companies!" Customer, impressed and amused, signs the repair order. Another job sold by the Dutch Valley girls! Brilliant, if I do say so myself, don't you all agree, like totally? :AH-HA_wink:

That's the beauty of English... it's not a dead language like Latin. It's alive and changing all the time. I don't see how it's fair to use the phrase "butchering the English language" when referring to dialects. The dialect is perfectly normal, correct, and understandable by others in the same region. Why should an uppity outsider judge the locals?

I really like the new style GTI. The local dealer has 5... two white, red, black and gray. The VW website doesn't even have info up on the new model yet. They're always late like that. I want to see a blue one. I also saw a really sweet G6 GTP coupe in silver with black leather and ultrabrite rims. I'd love to see an orange one with black/Morrocco leather. Has anyone here seen that interior color?

There needs to be more care taken around here before labels are applied to people. Just because I say "creek" doesn't make me better than a person who says "crick", nor does it guarantee I've had more education.

The Formula bumpers and spoiler are cooler than the Trans Am's. That is one sweet car.

Yeah Bob, we've been friends since the beginning. I remember the first time we looked at each other. It was that "locked eyes" thing. It was my first day at my current workplace. There is a sizable age difference. He's 21. Sorry if that's not cool. I've posted about this person before, but it's been a while. Of course work issues play a big role in real or perceived boundaries. I am not his direct superior. He's a body tech. Honestly, and this may sound weird, but when Meggie was around, she softened things for me. Now it's becoming harder to deal with being lonesome for him. That's why I brought it up again.

A '73 Catalina coupe, very dark green with tan vinyl top. The car was in like new condition.

OK, sounds cool. I'll PM you for details.

It's like going to a fortune teller. They know what to say in a universal, ambiguous way so it fits. They give you one small part of yourself and you run with it. They know you are looking for a connection to what they're saying. It's like self therapy, or life coaching in a minor way. I see no harm in it unless you let it rule your existence. I don't read horoscopes, but I'm an Aries. For some funny reason, I do save my "fortunes" when I eat Chinese. Once I got one that said (paraphrasing here) "You will find treasure while travelling". The next morning I found a dollar in the wet grass while walking around the block. So that was cool.

Thanks to everyone for your care and attention. I never meant to drag stuff out of the dark. I just reached a point. Thanks for trying to understand. I have a lot to think about.

Excellent. Hope to be there next weekend myself!

You're such a buzzkill. The kid was joking!

I know, Chicken. Sorry. Dumb joke I guess.

Damn, she's gonna be HOT, balthy!

Ah, Vipes. I hear ya. I'm doing my own wandering right now. A person I've cared about since the first day I saw him has really been on my mind lately. I've known him for 3 years. I work with him. All I want to do is tell him, because I've had a feeling for the longest time that he might feel the same. This gay thing is so much bull$h!. It's not f@#king fair.

I must be a dummy. I can't get "Wedding Crashers" to play on my existing video players here on the pc. It keeps asking me to download some new player... BAH. "40-Year-Old Virgin" is really good. I thought it was heartwarming, innocent and cool. "Slutty Summer" is just a piece of fluff (not porn, CD/BP). Not really my kind of movie either.
