  1. I think it's the vibrating shifter with pubes that's got him all lathered up.
  2. I took the same attitude and just sort of said "whatever". It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I realized why she was that way. She was from an era where, if you were a girl, you got married and had kids. That's it. That was your path. My mother wasn't cut out for that role, but she had it thrust upon her. Then, my father's job moved him here to a small town -where my NYC born and bred mother didn't fit in....at all....ever. Since so much of her life was beyond her control, she tried to comtrol the shit out of what she had control over: me and my sister. Doesn't make what she did right or excusable, but certainly more understandable....and somewhat easier to deal with the fallout.
  3. I used to think it was cool how much stuff I could cram inside my Element, until the one time I took the trash to the dump and one of the cans had had lobster shells in it (from the lobster fest mentioned elswhere) for about six weeks. I think that was even making the DOG gag. Thus my decision to replace it with a pickup when it died....
  4. My sister used to have a lobster fest every year. There was always a theme or gimmick. One year, we got to the house and no one was there - there was just a note with vague directions and we were told to follow the signs. She'd made a stencil of a lobster and made signs for us to follow. Turns out they'd set the whole thing up in a local park. After much eating and drinking, we went back to the house where I spotted the stencil and spray can and thought "....wtf....?" Hence the Dual Lobsters on the hood. The best part was walking toward my buddy's white Miata with the spray can and watching him flip his shit....
  5. Binge watch Twilight for some tips on the vampire lifestyle.
  6. Heh. I could have written that. Unlike you, I put distance between my mom and I. I kept her at arm's length for years. I was never angry with her, just hurt and confused. I finally just shrugged and said "I don't know why she was she was". It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I realized she felt like her life was beyond her control, so she sought to control the shit out of what she COULD: her kids. The difference is that you became a good person, whereas I am a raging asshole.
  7. Neither have I. If it's not good enough for MST3K, I haven't seen it. I think it was "direct to VHS" anyway.
  8. You people are sick. Breakfast burrito: eggs, chorizo, rice, peppers, onions and cheddar.
  9. Criteria for my last purchase: "has to haul stuff, hold two big stupid dogs, not cost a fortune and not kill me at the gas pump". End result: 2012 Silverado, 2WD, V6. Manual windows, doesn't even have a CD player. Most boring whitebread vehicle ever, but gets the job done. (In fact, since it's white, I think I may christen it "Whitebread").
  10. Sadly, like the unicorn, the Sasquatch and the Honest Politician, no photos of the Lobstermobile exist.
  11. I used to get excited, but I've finally come to the conclusion they are just transportation appliances. The only one I ever miss was my second '88 S-10. It was such a POS, if I wanted to get drunk and paint lobsters on the hood, I could. And did. RIP Lobstermobile
  12. You might want to enquire about them sponsoring your event, too.

  14. I'll be the odd one out (surprised?) and say "These": http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/02/how-to-make-salted-dulce-de-leche-brownies-recipe.html (And no, as much as I like raisins, they'd seem a bit odd in a brownie)
