My car broke down on Friday on my way home. The tow truck driver reminded me of that scrawny little evil guy from The Mummy. He also felt the need to tell me everything about his life. The mechanic, who will undoubtedly ream me on labor costs, reminded me of that guy in Cantina who says "He doesn't like you. I don't like you either!"
A very scary lot.
Just thought I'd let everyone know about my observations.

Doesn't one of the two Cantina-goers get his limbs chopped off or something? =P I fear for them if they charge too much for labor. In the meanwhile, you should sharpen your Jedi mind skills so you can make people say funny things. And quite possibly buy you donuts.
I don't have quite as many strange encouters as I should, but maybe that's for the best. I'm still prepared if someone busts into dance and song on the street, though. We've had our share of drunk-esque people.

No, it's the opposite. I'm marooned in nowheresville for the time being.

Kirksville... Man, even the name of the town reaks of boring. Kind of like "Lyons". Sorry to hear about your car Kaz, that's an awful pain in the ass. Hopefully the mechanic has a soul and won't charge you an arm and a leg. And if he does, just grab a chainsaw and hack off some of his limbs. Afterall... He never said whose arms and legs they had to be =).
No.
I think you're talking about Benny (the little arab from The Mummy) and Dr. Evazan, respectively.
That's Dr. Evazan, damnit! Am I the only one who watches science fiction on a tridaily basis?!
But I can sympathize with having to deal with smelly people. The only thing worse is when you trust your life to the aforementioned smelly people.
Yeah, I think you are, Spekkio. I've never even heard that name before. You're probably also one of the few that consider Star Wars fanfiction to be fact. =P
J/k, sorry. -_-
Agh! You'd better watch yourself! I have the death sentence on twelve systems!
Kirksville, daddy-o.
Blast you Spekkio! I wanted to say Benny. I am filled with sadness.
Since the guy reminded me of Dr. Evazan, it would be kind of ironic to chop off his limbs. =P
But Kirksville is boring. Cow-tipping is among the Top 10 List of Things to Pass the Time. Drinking is #1. The school library is #2. Wal-Mart, I think, is #3.
Yes, I remembered Benny but didn't bother to say it. I did not remember Dr. Evazan because I couldn't recall it.

Well, they have lyons beat. Drinking is #1, School libray is also #2... #3? Subway. That's the teenage hang-out hotspot. And no, I'm not kidding.
No.
My truck blew a tire halfway between school and home last week. The tread wrapped itself around the axle and nearly took out the brakes. Fortunately my girlfriend and her sister were able to pick me up from the dealership I was towed to and get me another half hour farther away from Flint.

Sorry to hear about your recent debacle what with the tire biting the dust and whatnot. Cars never seem to work for a sustained period of time... Irritating.
Now... if only I could get away from this house... this town... this country...
Anyone wanna move to Sweden?
No.
I'm game, let's go Archis.
I mean, what? **** THOSE FILTHY SWEDES! >_>;
Well, Dr. Evazan was wrong on his original hypothesis. Now it seems to be an even more complicated (=expensive) problem --- one which I don't want this guy to solve --- so I'm having it towed to St. Louis.
You should have had Obi Wan finish him off on your first encounter!
I left my lightsaber at home, else I would have.
A small light at the end of this expensive tunnel: I'll be driving my grandpa's 2005 Dodge Stratus until I can afford to get my own car fixed. Right now it's not gonna happen with my limited funds.
BAH
Stratus' SUCK!
Seriously. They're among the easiest cars to steal, plus it's American. American automatically means shitty. =P
Albiet I drive a 2002 Ford Mustang. <_<;
But not having to immediately pay for repairs or a new car automatically equals not shitty.
Besides Chrysler products are becoming more and more German with each passing year, several of their cars are just German designs with chrysler logos and whatnot. soon Chrysler may not even exist, who knows?

Several things:
1) The car that's in the shop is a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier. It's also an American car.
2) The Cavalier has nearly 100,000 miles on it; the Stratus has less than 1000.
3) The Stratus has a lot more room, meaning I can take all of my stuff home without blocking my vision out of the back window. I can also take on passengers on the trips home for more money.
4) And as was previously mentioned, it's a free loaner until I can afford to get my car fixed. I have $223 to my name, and there's no way that sum of money can fix my car AND sustain me for the next few weeks until I get more money.
It's a win-win for me. Besides, I hate foreign cars.
Best cars I like are Japanese cars, yea, the imports. o_o;
For some reason I feel weird being on the left side of the car.
I've been on the right side for so long, sitting on the left makes me feel naked.
Not arguing that it's a good deal for you, Kazzy, I'm just saying, Stratty's can go to hell. =P
I had a Pontiac Sunfire, which is basically a Cavalier with a different body. Bahhhh.... I hated it... in fact, I still hate it, as I still have it.
Anyone wanna buy a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with 17,000 miles on it and 2 years left on the factory warranty? XD
Anywh0re, the current car of mah dreams is a brand new Honda Civic.I'll just never be able to afford one until like... post college.
Anyways, what's wrong with your Cavalier? Knowing GM products it's something miniscule yet expensive...
In the three years of ownership of my Sunfire I've had about $1,300 worth of work done (covered by the warranty) plus $9000 in body damage fixed (First hail damage, which required a complete overhaul, then an accident that wasn't my fault)
The timing chain/belt snapped as I was driving; according to the mechanic, that also bent all my valves so that no compression was on my engine cylinders. And somewhere in the mix I believe I heard that I had a broken cam.
Holy shit dude. o_O;
That's about a $2,000 bill to repair, if not more. O_O;
My brother did that to a car of his, bent 4 fo his 6 valves, had to have the head of the engine completely rebuilt which cost about 2 grand.
You'd probably be better off getting a new engine for about 500-1000 more than the repair cost. o_O;
**** the car. Get a unicycle. They're all the rage.
Why the hell is everyone's sig so long? Be polite and use a freakin' spoiler tag!:
I know. It's going to be hefty. I might just get a new ****ing' car...
I hate it that I have to leave everything up to this mechanic. He hasn't called me to tell me what's going on.
Yeah, I know how that goes.
I'm not sure if it hit you in your part of Missouri, but about a year ago we had some pretty hefty hail storms, roughed up St. Louis quite a bit.
Well, it took 3 months to get my car repaired (It got hammered by the hail, hundreds of dents all over the body) the entire time I'm worrying that they aren't putting it back together properly and all that.
Three months without my car (Drove my parent's new van. Heavy cars kill on gas. -_-; ) and by the time I finally get it back it goes back in two weeks later for them to repair things they didn't do right, clean off the glue that was stuck to many parts of my body, and replace my tail light that they broke in the shop.
Got it back, taillight still broken. Week later I get in an accident that wasn't my fault (Got cut off... almost. More like the kid just came into my lane, into my car.
That took three trips to the body shop as well to get everything straightened out. They kept missing scratches. -_-;
Anyways---yeah. Mechanics suck. -_-;
I'm with Usagi on this one. Get a unicycle. =P I'd get one...If I knew how to ride it. Or if I knew how to ride a bike. Too bad it got stolen oh-so many years ago.
So until the day comes when I get my rocket-powered cycle of sorts, I'm going to buy a minivan. If people are going to ram into me, they'll have to get through a nice thick layer of plasticy metal to get to me. Plus, I can have an entertainment center and camp out in a garage.
Get super-speed shoes. No pollution and no training necessary.
No car for me. After three unfortunate times with my car getting towed, or stolen and ending up 2 km from its original parking spot, I just can't afford it anymore. -_-;; With all the insurance and gas and all.
Bicycles are no good because I am deeply afraid of them. (Aaaah!!) I always end up dying when I ride unicycles. I never have enough bus tickets. And those super-speed shoes don't exist.
Goddamit!
I have this feeling that I'm on everyone's Ignore List. How lonely I am.
I can see you, Arus. Hehe.
But don't worry, I'm sure your pet pigs will walk through the pastures just fine. Sure, there may be some rabid Oompa Loompas roaming around as well, but if you train some Guard Mules they'll kick the crap right out of them. Then you can roll down grassy hills with your pigs in barrels, and all will be good in the world.
...Wait, what are we talking about? I wasn't listening too well.
J/k, sorry. -_-
But yes, super-speed shoes would be great. Especially if they're like the Sprint Shoes from Final Fantasy VI. Those saved much time and kept me happy.
As for car thefts and all that jazz...Is that normal over there? Or did unluckiness just brush by you? And quite possible slap you really hard on the back. =\
