Are you including apology time in those 5 minutes? I usually add that time to my total in order to make it seem longer.

We generally get our kids to bed about 9:30 (they're a bit older). We don't usually sleep until 11:30 because I'm awesome*.
*Awesome means I listen to my wife talk for about 2 hours straight.

If Boxster didn't have a Boxster, I could see this being a good car for him. And KC, I think this is your retirement toy:

Just need to get one of these and it will be much cheaper than those European cars you like so much:

All I know about money threads right now is that in the stock market game I'm playing with some friends from college, I just made a killing day trading on AMC, but I'm still down 3% for the day.
Last night I was laying in bed just about asleep. My wife smacks me on my back and then hops out of bed. I'm all WTF woman?!? She points above our bed and says nothing. I look up, see our ceiling fan, really hope she's not picking this exact moment to comment on the dust on the blades, look back at her with another WTF woman look.
She just goes, "BUG!"
I glance up again and see a silverfish scurrying across the ceiling. I look at her again and roll over. She goes, "I'm not going to able to sleep with that thing up there."
"Ok, good night."
"Kill it!"
"It's on the other side of the ceiling fan (vaulted ceiling - roughly 10 feet up). How do you propose I get to it?"
"I don't care." Silverfish moves an inch, wife has mini-seizure. "Just kill it!!"
I walk over, turn the ceiling fan off and stop the blades with my hand (Mctallerton, take note about turning the fan off first). Then I take my shirt off, wad it in a ball, throw it at the silverfish, successfully knocking it down so it falls on the bed (first try - cuz I rock), then kill it with a tissue.
So now I'm standing there, a shirtless hero, in my boxers. The ceiling fan, now turned back on, gently blowing my heroic hair just right. I look at my wife and go, "So what is my reward?"
"Now that you're awake, can you rub my back?"
She just goes, "BUG!"

Plcaing a silverfish on the ceiling just to have an excuse for a back rub. Women are so manipulative.
Sorry if you're already seen this, but this cracked me up[video=youtube;z_tiqlBFjbk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_tiqlBFjbk[/video]
Since we devolved into which desert movie I've seen. Which almost all were before Ishtar, no one has mentioned the movie that I thought people would ask about when I typed it.
Mad Max movies. I did see the original

landscape guy just stopped to see how everything looked. Said we did a really nice job and it all looks good. Since some plants still aren't in because you know, PEOPLE NOT GETTING THEIR **** DONE, he's like you know those could probably sit for a month and you'd be fine. I'm like we won't mention that to certain people.
also, I was asking google to go to 'dress my run' so I could see what to wear tomorrow and DH yelled a word rhyming with "mitties" to try and get google to show him naughty things. Google heard it as "Denny's" and gave us the hours and location of our closest Denny's. I about died laughing.

Like the Italian lines on this better then the Miata body. I did the Miata thing already, aka the Wittle Wed car as it was called. Sold it and bought the used Boxster.

The handle crank reminded me of cranking the window on my '73 Nova and having the handle break off in my hand. That was the only American car I have owned (if you don't count my old Honda Accord which was assembled in the Ohio).
Completely agree. Was actually looking at that pic thinking "Man, that's so much better looking than a Miata".
Ok.....can someone explain to this old fart what the basis of the Mafia games are. Just rough nickel tour, not the $20 explanation.
00 with your comment about flying cars in the other thread...I introduce you to Terrafugia.
