I'm ahead of you ... I only have 2 years to go for that milestone. While the car is okay and everything, I think something truly outlandish is required. I'm thinking a pony tail to go with my bald dome. And maybe an earring. I've never had an earring and I think something like a bear's claw earring would be a nice touch. Or maybe a beaver's tooth ... that would be kind of patriotic too.

Those elementary school kids probably have a tough time reaching way up to grab the flag out of your pocket, so I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

Better suggestion. Go white van. And we're talking full sized, no windows in the back van. Not tons-of-windows minivan. And if that doesn't work, you can always put a huge mural of you giving pleasure to a harem of busty young vixens on the van.

Most elementary school kids are almost as tall as me.

I give this approach a thumbs-up overall, but if you're doing a mural van, you really need the tear-drop shaped window in the back.

I'd get rid of my earrings if it didn't feel like admitting my parents were right all those years ago. Ha! If I've learned anything as an adult, it's that while your parents are much smarter than you thought they were when you were a teenager, admitting to that just encourages them to think they can offer up advice *now* and expect it to be relevant.

I'm pretty partial to the ice princess and her sled drawn by bears, myself. I find it gives the right accent of class when you arrive for a date with Sigrun the Valkyrie riding shotgun.

The answer:
"We be speaking Irish me lass"
How could I not recognize Irish? |
Perhaps it was Irish gaelic?

I currently drive a Ford Focus wagon because it is functional, offering almost the same interior space as an Escape while being 12k cheaper and being better on gas. I figure when I hit my late 40s/early 50s, I'll be in for a hell of a step-up car. I've told my wife it's going to be an Aston Martin. She just laughed at me.

Pffft. My car is an 84 Civic that isn't working. Your Ford Focus would be one hell of a step up for me.

My dad has been dead for 12 years. I wouldn't mind having the opportunity now to let him know he was right about a few things ... and to ask his opinion on stuff.

Whatever you get, just make sure to also get the branded t-shirt and baseball cap so that even when you're not driving the car, you can let the ladies know you've got a BMW/Porsche/whatever.

I stopped at Costco on the way home from work and it was a great day for samples! Strawberry cheesecake, eclairs, napoleons and garlic bread were all being given out. Man, I was tempted to make garlic bread tonight. Garlic bread is one of those things that I don't think about that often but when I have it, I could eat a whole loaf of it.

This drives me nuts at work too, especially the large plotter. What a waste when people print drawings to the plotter and leave them there. Also, if I just need to copy a map and I can't because there's 31 sheets sent to the plotter that nobody comes to pick up! If its important enough to print, pick it up!
I can't bring myself to throw other people's stuff away though, even though I doubt they'd miss it if its been piled up on the printer all day.
