Wouldn't that be wonderful?! I live on a corner on a street that didn't used to be busy and now there is the sound of traffic at all hours. My van has been hit twice and it's parked a good 150 ft. from the corner so I don't know how stupid someone has to be to hit it there. They don't stop to tell me they hit me so I can't ask them.

The house sits on a hill that keeps the morons who don't know what ice does when you need to stop from hitting my house. They run into the side of the hill. I know it's rude to point and laugh but that's what I do. I go out the door, stand on the step, have a good laugh and go back in the house. Not my fault they're idiots! :roll:


Remind me I wanted that all when I've finally got my house with the trees and no neighbors, when I'm bored out of my head from watching the grass/garden grow/die. :lol:

I shouldn't say anything about drivers, really. But I will anyway. Here everyone drives [assuming traffic will allow] 80mph, with like maybe two car-lengths between, on the freeways. When it rains they slow it down to 75, no change in distance. Scares the hell out of me. (Really.) When there are wrecks out in the rain they are pretty intensive - lotta people involved. I take the surface streets as much as possible and stay off the freeway when it rains. At least on the surface streets if I'm going to get hit, it'll probably only be by one car, not six of 'em and a couple of semi's hauling jet fuel.

When we lived in an older part of town, closer in, I used to have to park on the street. Aside from having the tires slashed and the locks punched, and the odd window broken out now and then, we did get sideswiped a couple of times while it was parked. In the middle of the block. I assume it was a drunk, or a teenage male showing off his lack of driving prowess to his friends/girlfriend. :wink:

Me {knocking on wood} the only thing I've ever hit (besides a jackrabbit, once) was a gas station, while doing a U-turn. When I was 19. Long story, involved a pothole, no automatic steering, a huge steering wheel, and having worked a double-shift. Car had good, old-fashioned bumpers and bounced. The station wall took a worse hit. They left it that way for years and years. I was thinking of going back and spray painting a memorial plaque to myself over it. Checked when I was there about three or four years ago. Gas station is out of business. Hole is still in the wall.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

:oops: I hit the gas pump! I told my dad I didn't want to drive a car or have a car but he insisted so I still blame him for that one! :lol: I'm much better now and almost have withdrawal if my vehicle's not here. I never go anywhere, but I have a van if I want to! :wink:

Well, I do, so everybody must too. I can't remember The Wife's birthdate. I have to be reminded of my own, so there are trade offs. But it does get crowded in here, if you could see my room clutter, it's nothing compared to what's in the ol head.

This is Postie's alter ego, he can't come to the phone right now. He said he had to go clean his room. He said the devil made him do it.

Suuure, just you go right ahead and blame it on da boys, Bubba.

Hey!! I'll have you guys know I've only had one (<----- that's serious serious selective thinking) car accident. I hit the New York/Pennsylvania border marker. Destroyed it and the car, no fire ball, just a lot of smoke. Took em a while to figure out which state should arrest me.

Yeah well, they both got me in the end. Just took em a while. I still feel badly over the border marker, it was a nice one. The one they put up after is really crappy looking. I do consider it a monument to me, after all, I paid for it. I would have picked a different artist however.

Well, ya'll pretty much are the root of all evil, after all. So that odds of my being correct there would be pretty damned good. :D :P

I thought so.

Remind me to tell the tale of loosing that car in Provincetown, Massachusetts some day. You think I remember things well? Yeah, right!! Ahhh yes, such a misguided youth, old and misguided now, it's all better.

Every Horse has an Infinite Number of Legs (proof by intimidation):

Horses have an even number of legs. Behind they have two legs, and in front they have fore-legs. This makes six legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse. But the only number that is both even and odd is infinity. Therefore, horses have an infinite number of legs. Now to show this for the general case, suppose that somewhere, there is a horse that has a finite number of legs. But that is a horse of another colour, and by the lemma ["All horses are the same colour"], that does not exist.


Here for those who don't know their lemmas from their llamas.

The early worm deserves the bird.

Keeripes thought you'd never ask......

Hmm, bout 1973 I think, I was in one of my Northeast wanderings of North America. Might have been wandering my way from Canada, well anyway, Cape Cod didn't look that far away on the map, only about 6 inches or so. Camped in Plymouth, Massachusetts as a base of operations. Took off for P-town, a place I remembered from kid years as a bit strange and I like strange. I was a bit miffed about finding a parking spot and more then upset at the cost and that I would have to return to the car to meter feed. I found a place to park, a very bright idea on how to do it and proceeded to get my ass kicked out of Provincetown, which is no easy task, but I made remarkable progress. As the hand of fate started to descend rather rapidly I had another bright idea, I had better leave. I couldn't find the car. I walked for hours, no car. So, I decided to pay my friends at the cop shop a visit, they took one look at me and all in something that looked like a choreographed swimming maneuver, pointed to the door and said, go look some more. So I did. Hours later still no car, I returned to my good friends the police and asked if they might take a look for it. They found it, I had the brilliant idea of parking it in a used car sales area. No meter to feed and who knows I made have made a profit. I don't know if they were amused, I was, but figured I'd still better leave. I must have walked by it at least a half a dozen times. I didn't make it all the way back to Plymouth that night before I needed to pull over and sleep. I was awakened by, you guessed it, a friendly Massachusetts State Police guy. He didn't even say good morning or would I like a cup of coffee. How rude, good lookin guy though.

I think I took off for New York City after I packed it up in Plymouth. I made remarkable progress at getting kicked out of that place too. And yes my good friends the police were there to help me. They've always been there to help me out of some very tough spots, wonderful people, always have a had a place in my heart for them. They just seem to show up at the damnedest times. Remarkable.

Yeah I did have a good time in P-town and had one hell of an eye opener, lol. It had changed a little since I was a kid, well maybe not, I was kind of naive. All I really remembered was Bohemian types back when I first saw it.

I ever tell you about the time I was.......
