Shut the f.ck up bitch. You got us. What more could a muthafucka ask fo?

bald tires are only unsafe when it's wet... ;-)

The weather here is decent, but I have a pulled groin muscle....  Hopefully
it will be good enough tomorrow to get some miles in on the bike.

Idaho had those "package stores" too. Have you noticed whether a state
liquor store cuts down on loitering, drug dealing, and prostitution? I
think it would.

Parking lot traffic jams are a major peeve to me.

This is the season when morons follow you through the parking lot as
you take your packages to your car. They park behind you, waiting to
see if you'll move. They want your space. They gridlock the crowded end
of the parking lot because they are too lazy to walk from the empty
side over to the mall entrances.

They sit there, tooting their horns and gesturing impatiently at you as
you
check your Xmas list and arrange your credit cards and receipts. Maybe
you're planning a visit to another store and you wonder if your
packaages are safe from the people who seem to be stalking you.

People behind those morons are trapped as more and more idiots drive up
and stop so close behind them that they can't reverse out of the line
of stopped cars, and all this is because the first idiot is too lazy to
walk across a parking lot.

Maybe you're not the guy who is being pestered by the first moron.
Maybe you are trying to back out of the space you're in and you can't
get out because of the line of cars behind you.

Or maybe you're handicapped, and you need to get to the handicapped
stalls near the store entrance. But you can't get to the spaces because
able-bodied people are too lazy to walk across the parking lot.

I was in front of a large warehouse style supermarket. There were two
lines of cars, with half a dozen cars in each line. At the front of
each line was a driver who wanted to turn left. But there was an
opposing car blocking the left turner at each end of the line.

The two lines of cars sat there motionless for five minutes, while each
idiot patiently waited for the guy blocking his left turn to move, and
never imagined that *he* was the cause of the delay himself.

I finally got out of my car and walked over to one of the would-be left
turners and told him that it was him that was blocking a dozen other
cars. He was, of course, an immigrant imbecile. He said that he was
waiting to turn left into the empty parking space that he could see. I
told him that if he would just move up to the next row, he could drive
around and come back to "his" parking space.

He refused to move. Finally the store security guard walked over and
told the idiot to move. He drove ahead and we all escaped the store
gridlock.

Xmas should be also known as The Idiot Season.

But.......if the parking lots are all full that translates into
highter consumer spending/confidence in the good old USA. Good for
capitolism and the Chinese er...I mean Mercan way of life :)
