This is so cool! Now I can’t wait to get home to… fold laundry. (blog-jacked from Neatorama)

This weekend turned out to be about everything Simpson. First, the movie. Best. Movie. Ever. Then there was the endless episodes of Tivo’d Simpsons. Then, the crowning moment: the trip to the Kwik-E-Mart. 11 7-Eleven stores across North America were converted into Krusty-O’s-selling, Squishee-squeezing, Buzz-Cola-chugging, pink-donut-hocking Kwik-E-Marts which were run amok by 20-somethings taking pictures. Do you know what Squishees, donuts, sugar-coated cereal and cola does to a person? I don’t remember! Good thing we documented it.
What do you do when you come to a yield sign, but the other car has a stop sign? This is not a hypothetical question. It happened to me this afternoon. I’ve been through the intersection many times before, but I never thought about the problem because today is the first time there has ever been a car for me to yield to.
A couple of weeks ago my car died on the way home from work. Spraying fluids, smoke, convulsions, the whole bit. I can’t say I’ll miss it. This car has been trouble from the start. This comes only days after I realized that with gas, insurance, parking, and maintenance I’m paying a good $500 a month. So instead I will pay $3 an hour for Flexcar, including gas and insurance. At 10 hours a weekday, that comes out to about $600 a month to get to and from work. Plus, I get to drive a nice 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. Or if I want I can take a Honda Element for the same price. On top of that, it forces me into an 8-minute walk every morning and evening, since the car is a few blocks away. It’s really nice to be living somewhere that I can walk or take the bus or subway everywhere I need to go.
Now to figure out how to dispose of the POS car. Anybody need a 1994 Honda Accord steering wheel?
