Lord Almighty. I have heard some things in my life but this one takes the fricken cake.
I hesitated to post this because I'm afraid it will get turned into a political debate so let me request this right upfront: Please do not go all political in my comments section. I'm exhausted of politics and the fighting and bickering that goes on back and forth. Please just listen to the recordings and marvel at the absurdity of it all. It really doesn't matter what your party affiliation is, it's crazy talk.

On a happier note, I pre-ordered the new Harry Potter book that is due to be released towards the end of the month. And now I can't concentrate on anything else, really. I want to read it now! GAH!

And finally, a random thought: I was watching t.v. earlier and there was some water commercial on and one of the scenes was a motorist hugging the toll booth lady because the water made him feel so good. Behind him was a line up of cars and the lady driver of the car directly behind him stuck her head out the driver's side window and was yelling something at him. (It was on mute, don't know what she was saying.) It occurred to me that I have never done this. I have never stuck my head out the driver's side window like that to talk or yell or exchange any words with anyone. In fact, I don't recollect ever seeing anyone do this in real life. Maybe I haven't been paying attention but do people really do this or is this just in t.v. and movie land? Am I missing something?
I was always told, as a child, never to stick anything out the window because you never know if something might rip it off as you go speeding down the road. You know, like those passengers who pass you and all you can see are their feet sticking out the window? Or the people who do that retarded hand surfing on the wind they've created with the speed of the car? Every time I see someone do that all I can think is, "One day, they are going to be feetless" and I guess it just kind of passed over to why I never jut my head out the driver's window.
Maybe I'm just weird. Or maybe you all are weird. Yah, that's probably more likely.

Posted by S. Faolan Wolf at June 3, 2005 06:36 PMI was told that too - about hanging your hand out car windows! Whenever I see someone doing that I always think what a loser that person is.
I'm looking forward to the new Harry Potter - I hope she keeps on writing them.

I don't do it to this day.
Posted by: mary at June 6, 2005 11:08 AMMy mom always claimed that she knew a girl in school who had the top of her head sliced off by a passing truck. I still find that very hard to believe, but when I get ready to stick my head out the window to yell at somebody, I always always look both ways. Better safe than sorry!
And hey, there is nothing wrong with hand surfing. It's not like I stick my hand out any farther than my side mirror. Jeez.
