How's "shawleebedoobalee?"
Didja'll ever say that in extreme agreeance to something?
I loved that word.
Instead of using "definitely", try shawleebedoobalee.

Try living with a dyslexic. "Frist" instead of first.
One of my pet peeves was always "inertial dampeners".

hmmm, not so much a pet peeve but it does grate whenever someone, usually a reporter, calls some major event a Quantum Change in whatever it is.
A quantum is the absolute smallest possible increment.

So in essence, the guy in Quantum Leap was only jumping in SMALL incriments...considering the grand scheme of time?
Makes sense, since all the jumping happened when MAN was walking the earth and not before...

Right. Tiny wormholes in the fabric of space-time, I suspect.
What's worse than finding a worm in the fabric of your space-time?

Oh, I have to tell a story since 2long is here.
GB was telling me about this VW Beetle he had in HS, and how he loaded two un-shorn sheep into the back to take to the county fair. Stuffed them both into the back seat. Got $300.00 for the pair. Said it was more lucrative then loading the back up with aluminum to take down to the Golden Goat. LOL
Can you imagine?
He was starting businesses from the time he was very young and had me in stitches all night Saturday talking about them.
When I get more time, I'm going to post them. They are so laughable, they are hard to believe. Unless you know GB, that is.

Oh dear! Those poor seats!
In my SuperBeetle, the seats were so worn that chunks of the straw stuff was forever poking through. Z used to sit in his carseat in the back an throw straw in my hair...For a two year old, apparently that's really fun.
Those sheep woulda broken their legs on the springs in my car!

I wish I would've had a beetle bug in HS. GB said that thing could fly! I had a Ram Charger, 4 wheel drive... kind of like a Blazer. It did take first in the mud pulls, though. Well, really it was my BF's, but once I gotta hold of it, he had to find something else to drive. I thought I was the cat's meow back then. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was PG with Z when I bought mine. It was funny....when I wore my yellow maternity swim suit, my beetle and I bore a striking resemblance.

Oh, you're funny! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Shoulda put some big black stripes down the both of you, and then you could have been bumble bee's. Now that would have been cute!

I was never PG when I owned wind-cooled VW's.
During grad school, I bought a rusty old bug from a colleague here at work. He'd bought it used when he went 2 UMass, where it got used as a field vehicle.
I paid 200 bucks for it. It ran okay, but you had 2 lift up on the doors 2 get them 2 clear the running boards when you went 2 close them.
One day, I sat on the seat belt, because the re2rn spring thingy had lost its suck long before. 2 get it out from under me, I tried 2 lift my beautox up by shifting my weight 2 my feet. My left foot went right through the rusty floor pan. I cut a piece of plywood 2 fit, and put it under the floor mat, and was good 2 go.
I sold it 2 another grad s2dent at USC about 6 months later, for $200. He drove it around for about 3 or 4 months. During the summer break, he went home 2 England, and his roommate forgot 2 move the car on the street every few days. It got towed away before my friend even knew what had happened.
May it rust in piece.

My passenger side floor board had rusted through.
There's nothing in the world like a clear road and the wind in your....
....toes.
Really.

My 60 singlecab has rusty floorboards.
I'm hoping 2 buy me a spark wrench one of these days and weld in a patch. I have a smoke wrench, but sheet metal warps 2 much with one.
