14 hours of packing today. Thankfully we are pretty close to done so it should only delay us a few couple of hours tomorrow.

I saw a re-tweet last night saying "Here's four other players awkwardly holding the Oscar Robertson trophy." It was pics of Doug McDermott, Anthony Davis, Coach Beaulein when Trey Burke won, and Adam Morrison. Yeah...quite awkward.
You shut your ***** mouth. #Sienna4lyfe

I think anyone would look awkward holding a statue of a male cheerleader in mid toe touch jump with a stick rammed up his...
Sort a makes me want to walk into Haskells Liquor here in the Twin Cities and ask for it to see if they "get it". I imagine someone has to have done that to them by now.
I had to look this up to confirm that swaggerwagons came in colors other than shades of gray. They actually do!
Q: Why do people with families drive SUV mothertrucks rather than minivans which are a thousand times better for kids? Minis drive better. They are easier to get kids in and out off. They are easier to maneuver in parking lots and ramps where cars spend most of their real time. Plus they do not seem to inspire their drivers to drive like total idiots.
I like the idea of a crossover before we have multiple kids but yeah......I don't want to deal with maneuvering a giant SUV. Spent my teen years driving a mini-van...I can handle that! Plus I would bet the SUV will have worse gas mileage compared to the minivan.
Birdy, I think the maroonish Siennas are the best looking mini out there. Much approve.
Ego. A guy at work is begging his wife to look at vans, but she won't even sit in one because then she's an old mom person, but if she's driving an SUV, somehow she's not. The funniest ones to me are like the Ford Flex...dude, it's a minivan with large wheels and hinged doors, stop pretending it's not.
The one and only advantage my old small town back in Iowa has over the Twin Cities is getting rid of garage sale type crap. I have an old Schwinn LeTour I need to give away. Back in little town I could just drop it off at the ongoing charity sale and someone would give them a few bucks for it. Win, win. Here I have to google around and try to find some place to take it. I sure as hell am not not going to do a Craigslisty and offer it for free and have someone show up and decide my deck furniture was also part of the "free" stuff deal.

Or kind of a tall station wagon, maybe?
I think you're right. No faking it at that point. Just admit it's a parentmobile and drive on. No shame.
Don't they have "big trash" days up there?? Sheesh...it's a free for all here with people driving around in trucks picking through the stuff out on the curbs for the trash pickup. A usable bike would be gone within the first hour.
If I lived on a through street I would put it out. I live an a short dead end street with only four houses past mine so the only traffic is people who live here and our most awesome mail delivery gal.
Doubt if the octogenarian couple in the $1M house at the end of the street want my old bike. I haven't seen Bruce on a bike in years!
:smile:
Note: Eclectic neighborhood. I DO NOT live in a $1M house.

It's ridiculous the things people do for ego over cars. A couple weeks ago, I was getting off the Interstate. There's 2 turning lanes, I was in the left, another guy pulls up in the right in some late 90's american **** wagon...wanna say it was a Bonneville or something...light is red. The right lane ends in about 5 blocks after a another light, so light turns green and I go, normal speed, figure either the guy is going to get ahead of me or not, no big deal...guy in right lane goes, kind of hangs next to me for a while, then decides he HAS to get past me, so he tromps on it...but the light is red, so he's gotta wing over in front of me and stamp on the brakes. Meanwhile, I see the light is red, so I lay off and let him go (so that I also won't have to stomp on the brakes when I get to the light), but the light turns green just as the guy gets stopped, so I jumped over to the right lane and went right on by him...he floored it and peeled out as I passed him, but I was still going 30 when he was stopped. It was like he was NOT going to let a minivan get by him.
I can't imagine the stupid things people do when they pull up next to Boxster in the Porsches.
My ex and I ended up buying a new Toyota hatchback for her. She fell in love with it when I told her she looked like a milf in it.
