I Should be Driving THAT!

Luis went to drop off his vehicle to be repaired (a young stupid kid ran into it in a parking lot about a week ago and destroyed not only the rear quarter panel but the top piece which runs from the rear light to the front of the driver's door) and he got a BRAND NEW CHARGER!

He drives like a little old man. That is so wrong in so many ways, I just can't imagine. I saw it and said, "Damn! I should be driving that! In his hands it is just a car. In my hands and lead foot, it would be art and a machine - a beautiful purring machine that would be driven like I'm in the Indy 500! I could do it, man! I drive my car like that all the time!

Hey, it's a sports car - that is what one is supposed to do with a sports car! Better believe it, baby! I can drive like nobody's business and I do. I happen to really love driving fast - I was doing 90 on Route 287 on Friday and it was awesome. Wind in my hair, music up all the way, taking the turns like I'm on rails, baby!

Luis... I mean, I love the man, don't get me wrong, but if someone gives you a thoroughbred, do you just take it for a walk around the paddock? Of course not. You take him to the track and see what the magic is really like!

I should be taking the Charger to the track - any track - and I will show you, honey, how to really drive it!

So just take the keys and GO!!!

I tend to be in the left lane with the music up too but my old Taurus doesn't like that too much.

There's a 10 day challenge on my blog today. Since you like memes, maybe you might want to do that one too?

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour. [From Latin tinctus (a dyeing) + mutation (changing).] Brobdingnagian (brob-ding-NAG-ee-uhn) adjective Of gigantic size. [After Brobdingnag, the fictional region where everything was enormous

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
