Gone all Yuppie

Postby miked on Tue Apr 29, 2008 7:07 pm

In a remarkable turn of events, last night I traded my Hemi in on a mini-van. Honda Odyssey type.

It was inevitable. Just came a little faster than expected.

So, if anyone wants to carpool up to Rhode Island in a couple of weeks, we will have some room.

NOOOOO! Say it aint so! A Mini Van? After 1 wee little girl? Yu'v liv'd in Yuppieville too long. They've gotten a hold of yer mind and turned ya into one of them. Now yer talking "carpooling"? Next thing ya know there'll be a dog then another wee little one then maybe a cat then maybe another mini van OMG where will it end :o ! Sucks being an adult doesn't it? Don't worry you can have the Hemi back when you get to Super Masters ;)

I prefer my cats fried in a szechuan sauce and served over brown rice.

They also make great slippers. Grap their tail with one hand and their hind feet with the other. Shove your foot up their butt until it is up around your ankle. then align said slipper so when you walk their feet splay out to the side. Don't worry about the mewling and squeeking - that subsides after a few days of wear.....

Have you ever noticed that the best Chinese places are next door, or at least in the same shopping center, as the local Vet. Coincidence? I don't think so....Kung Po Kitty anyone? Actually, I have 3 myself. Thurman is 22lbs of tough monster kitty. Named after my favorite catcher 'cuz he has thumbs and his front feet look like catcher's mitts. Oliver was Morgan's. She left him with me and didn't come back. Tux (Tuxedo) came with my new house and saved me $25,000. So, there's nothing wrong with cats unless they come with minivans!
