What is this, 1970? Two of you, probably a century of age between you, and you didn't have "Eye of the Tiger" on the i-pod? You couldn't download it to your phone from the cloud?

I don't have it on mine. Same goes for Sister Christian.

is there even an interview process for this job? they get some major fuck ups.


I suspect that the TSA's conduct overall stacks up pretty well against other similarly large organizations. Say, the NYPD. Or hell, the membership of the California Bar.

Looks like the supervisor took it seriously and handled it professionally.

Dude. I was in a Camaro. It sure felt like this was 1970.

1970? If you weren't masturbating in-utero you had to still be sucking at your momma's titty.

You don't bring Eye of the Tiger to me and expect to come away clean. Plus, I should warn you that when I was at the diner getting breakfast this weekend, I heard the playlist from Hell. You want deadly earbugs, I got your fuckin' deadly earbugs.

Of Course, I would really hate to be hit by anything bigger than a middle schooler on a bike in one.

Fiat and Mini price out about the same for me because I'd do Fiat convertible vs Mini hardtop (with sunroof). I have a Cooper S right now and one decision I'd need to make is whether to shell out for the bigger engine (on either car). I would have been fine with the regular Cooper when I leased 3 years ago but Mr Man wanted the S. Sounds like the Fiat is way underpowered though, so in order for me to like it, I might have to be looking at the bigger engine. I'm pessimistic that I'll like the Fiat (and I love my Mini), but I feel like I have to check it out to make sure... No interest in anything bigger than a Mini and I don't really consider a BMW 1 series (or any BMW for that matter) a step up for me from the Mini. I always preferred Audi to BMW -- always liked the A3, but can't justify that step up in price when I love Minis. BMW's don't do anything for me (having driven Mr Man's plenty of times). And even though the Mini is owned by BMW now they've kept the look and feel very distinctive from the BMW look/feel. Thanks for all the feedback! I'll report back after I test drive the Fiat.

I would go with the Mini myself. I would get the S, because if yours was like mine, it had just short of enough punch to make that occasional 4-lane shot because I forgot the exit was coming up. I really don't like the way the newer models look compared to the ones that they produced a few years back. The newer models look like steroid abuse cases. But that's just my opinion.

I can't decide which of the 3 models in the Blurred Lines video I'd most like to do sex with. Then I realized I should maybe be more practical. Those of you who've met me, is there one that seems like she might be more into me than the others?
