Adventures in Car Repair
Filed under: General — Nobrainer @ 2:59 pm

So I decided to put new seat covers on my 79 Camaro. I backed the car into the driveway in order to enjoy the day’s beautiful weather. I quickly found that my expectations were true. The “easy to install” seat covers are in fact not “easy to install” in a Camaro. For the sake of installing the seat covers, as well as for exploration, I decided to remove the front seats in order to put on the covers. I found about $0.16 in the process. In addition, I found an ultra windproof lighter I had bought in Paris that I thought I had lost at a high school basketball game in very early 1999. While doing all this, I was listening to the radio. About 3/4 of the way through the battery died. 4 1/2 years of top quality engineering education didn’t seem to rub off on me. I knew the car had a weak battery. I am an idiot.

I pushed the car, newly clad seats and all, back into the garage. I will jump start it some other time.

Necessary TV Changes
Filed under: General — Nobrainer @ 10:26 am

I was just channel surfing in search of golf. I found far too much media coverage of Condoleeza Rice. I will accept this as valid television. However, I am entirely sickened by the number of televised births. I don’t know how many times in a day I hit a channel to see a woman in “full push mode”… At least some of the filming is done with some amount of taste. But when I see a baby popping right out of some ugly woman I am sickened. Where is the FCC to block this trash from my eyes?

Title’s Kick Ass

OK… I’ve added comments. Titles are coming soon. I’m trying to keep up with the Joneses (sp?), or who I will now refer to as the Brads.

I got out and went golfing yesterday. I played 18 in the morning and shot 94, a good round by all my standards. I had a bad hole when I caught up to a foursome and they let me play through. That hole was my first and only triple bogey of the day. I hit one drive out of bounds and nearly decapitated one of the men in the foursome.

Later that day, I played 10 with Dad. On 6 I hit a house. The homeowner was not pleased. It was the only ball I lost that day, another victory.

Unfortunately, my score on each 9 got worse than the 9 before.

Here’s the latest big news from the OG. Some woman is claiming that was kicked out of the store when she started breast feeding her baby. She says her waiter’s name was Rob G., and that she cannot find her receipt because her husband (who is out of town) has it. Part of her story though says that she was forced out (with her food) and did not pay. All this is in conflict with our records. We have no Robs. We also gave no comps that day. Another local store has a Rob G. though. Does anyone think they got the right location? NO!

The better part, is that some group called La Leche League is representing here. One of the people actually called the corporate office and lied to them saying that our manager had confirmed the story.

I now must confirm that I will never be in favor of public breast feeding, as it apparently makes people stupid.
