“I bet hair will start falling out of the knot, by midnight. And then where will I be?”

First Andy’s butt and now this. When the hair falls off the back of Jeff’s head, will the family be able to tell them apart (from behind)?

The Aztec is the ugliest vehicle mentioned but is thankfully no longer in production. The original Honda Element (and Chevrolet Avalanche for that matter) with the gray plastic cladding were hideous. The newer versions, with body coloured bumpers are better. We don’t see many Scion’s here in Canada. I don’t mind the PT Cruiser’s looks but I wouldn’t really want to drive one based on the Neon mechanicals. Toyota’s Echo has terrible exterior proportions but I actually like the FJ Cruiser.

My vote goes to the Prius.

Last time I was stung was while riding my motorcycle down an interstate highway at about, let’s say 70 mph. I felt something hit the top of my chest, where my shirt was open. Next thing I know I’m getting stung repeatedly on my stomach. So while trying to stay in my lane (thankfully not much traffic) and slow down I’m grabbing fistfulls of my lower shirts trying to strangle a bee. The stinging stopped, but I didn’t know if he was dead or just Mike Myers dead, so the rest of the ride I kept grabbing shirt and waiting for the resurrection, while dealing with the pain of what turned out to be five stings. When I examined my stomach I also found the culprit, a yellow jacket with a smirk on his face. I thoroughly enjoyed stomping on the already dead little fucker.

Pacers were mentioned . . . how about Gremlims??

I vote for the old Bunker Cam.

So far, I’ve never been bitten by any bees, wasps, or hornets so I don’t know the pain or if I’m allergic. The husband is deathly allergic to these guys and has to carry around an epi pen. So, what are the odds that the offspring is allegic to stings too???

I thought I was the only one out there. My kids have teased me for years because at about 9:00 p.m. it’s time for the ‘Whistler.’ Similarly, give me a Jack Benny or Gildersleeve episode and I’m a happy girl. My IPod is a weird, I mean, eclectic mish-mash of media that I can’t even describe.

Oh, I’m changing my votye, too. The Aztec is still ugly, but I was behind a butt-ugly brown shitbox Scion last night, and got into an argument with my 13 year old who thinks it’s a totally cool car.

I’m happy to say, the 10 year old is on my side – it’s FUGLY.
