Oh, sorry. It's taken.

Who needs titles anyway? People will figure it out.

I say you take the last words from the main text and make them the title of your introduction. It will all be very meta.

Ad at teh bottom of the weather page is for "trousers and pants." When is a trouser not a pant?

Oh, I heard something about that on KYW this morning, but I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. they were playing something that said Laurel without any chance of it being something different, so maybe it's not the same thing though.

cleaning out the basement at my mom's house. There's a rear car window from one of my former vehicles. It's 45"x43". That's pretty big. I was thinking it was one of my VW's (I had two 60's beetles, two late 60's/early 70's squarebacks, and a 1970 microbus) but that's way too big for any of them. I don't remember every doing any work like that on any of my latter vehicles (1978 Chevette, 1983 Plymouth Turismo, 1986 Chrysler Laser. 1978 pinto wagon) so I'm really eager to find out what this fits before I throw it out. And dang I had a lot of cars between ages 16-24. Especially considering I'm only on #3 since then!

It's Yanny

wtf is yanny anyways

He lives at the Acropolis, I think.

Ugh. Little miss thing who talks for a living: it’s VERSUS not VERSE.

ALSO, it’s Laurel. Both kids agree. However, my oldest said it sounded like Yanni when he heard it in the car this morning.
