unless you mean actually rubbing poop on your face, no. the answer to that question is always no.

Can anyone back me up on this?

Looks like a pretty easy DIY job.

...regarding the former, I'd say the answer is "no" regardless of the time of day...

(then again, some people like that, and pay extra for it)

I was just in the trashiest bar in St. Pete beach.

If jacking up and removing all four wheels strikes you as a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Not that difficult. Though I've always done it manually (have someone pump the pedal whilst you're bleeding the valve), never used a bleeding apparatus.

(dear gawd, that sounds dirty, perhaps even perverted)

Is it bad that I usually just get my Mom a phone call for her birthday?

Thank god. I'm broke, so I can't drink at the bar unless my friend offers to front me, but I have lots of alcohol at home. Time to get bruised.

My dad would probably castrate me

i don't think anyone has responded to your *actual* request yet....

Yes, it is usually necessary. Brake fluid collects moisture, and can rust the innards of your braking system. Especially vulnerable (I hear) are the ABS parts. They sell special test strips to test the moisture level in your brake fluid. Check it out.

Wow, I haven't heard a good new expression for getting drunk in a while but "getting bruised" is f'n brilliant.

Is your mom's birthday today? Mine is!

I'm a terrible person on stuff like this, so maybe I'm not the best person to offer advice here. I do generally remember to make a call, and during the call, I promise a gift. Usually, we bring the gift on our visit. But Mrs. Vulture generally handles that stuff.

Alright, I have to share this.

I've been getting a deluge of sympathy cards in the mail. It has been really interesting, people I haven't seen in years, people from the churches, but today's took the cake.

One of my fellow pastors, a wonderful older woman who lives down the street, had her confirmation class make sympathy cards for me on Sunday. Most of them are very nice- "Sorry to hear about your loss, Pastor Brian, things will get better," that kind of thing, with all kinds of Christian imagery on them.

But one of them is awesome. Everything is hand drawn in the style of a typical 11 or 12 year old. Let me describe it to you. If time permits, I might scan it in later tonight and post images.

COVER- a random white dog in a blue suit, looks like he is leaning on an invisible wall. text that says, "Sorry for you LOSS Pastor Brian." Below, a smiley face, surrounded by the words, "Don't worry, be happy". Finally, a porcupine, a toucan, and a lizard licking the hindside of the toucan.

PAGE 2- An elephant, followed by a hippopotamus, followed by an alligator, from top to bottom.

PAGE 3- A drawing of the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat, more Disney-esque than Tim Burton.

PAGE 4- a drawing of something that could either be a camel mutating into a rabbit or vice versa.

PAGE 5- Text, "The Wizard of Oz". Below text, a common Lion, the Tin man (looking kind of like one of those Homies figures), and the Scarecrow

PAGE 6- A small sailboat on water. Beneath the water is a stick figure about to be eaten by a big Whale with extremely sharp teach. Text below the drawing, "Jonah and the Whale".

PAGE 7- Text, "Tim Burton's Films". A drawing of Jack Skellington, Edward Scissorhands, and a bug peach with "James" written on it.

PAGE 8- That brown "Domo" thing with one eye.

PAGE 9- True Awesomeness: Text, "The Beatles" right down the middle of the page, surrounded by song titles with graphical representations. We have a Yellow Submarine, a broken guitar crying, a happy son, a Walrus, and a heart with a pricetag.

PAGE 10- The only one I don't get. Text, "The Stead Fast Tin Soldier". Above the text, a nutcracker doll, a jack-in-the-box, and a baseball player wearing a skirt.

PAGE 11- A peace sign, a smiley face, and a heart with an arrow through it.

PAGE 12- a Disney-esque Card Guy from Alice in Wonderland, 3 of Hearts to be exact

PAGE 13- A huge snake, with the text, "ANACONDA"

I will cherish this thing for the rest of my life.

That is truly awesome.

Is ZWR part of your flock? That thing needs scanned and made into its own thread, "Don't Worry, Be Happy."

Please scan; redact personally identifying information if necessary.

One of the babies in the latest E-Trade commercial (the barbershop quartet one) has a t-shirt that reads "COLEGE".
