Having a creative breakthrough after a few weeks of brainlock has definitely made my afternoon.

Wish I was as upbeat as you guys today.

In a work crunch. I need this month to be over but also to be magically done with all this stuff. Need sunlight and fresh air, and like two weeks of sleep.

I read brainlock as bannock at first and thought "Lucky!" I mean, it didn't quite make sense but I still thought you were lucky. I've put my glasses back on now.

If I'd had a few weeks of bannock, creative blockage would've been the least of my concerns.

Sold my car to the first person who contacted me after I posted it. That actually made me sad, because I loved that car and don’t expect it to actually sell that quickly.

Had a message from the buyer earlier today. Was thinking ‘oh great, buyers remorse bull ####?’

Nope. They just wanted to say how much they liked the car and it’s condition, and how it reminded them of their youth. That’s pretty cool man.

I've taught 3 kids how to drive, only one of them had the patience for a standard but she is excellent at it.

Nah, that car will never be sold unless it’s the last thing I have to keep my daughter safe or some ####.
My little commuter car, thing was rad.

Happy might be too strong a word, but this list of possible snow plow names submitted by Calgary students for the city's snowplow fleet does tickle my funny bone. Some of my faves are Melton John, Sweet Child O'Brine, Snowbegone Kenobi, Brinestone Plowboy, Plowabunga...

Mr implies a gender, and would sure as hell create a silly controversy. Wish I was kidding.

Came here to post the names too.
Some pretty funny and good ones.
Good to see they kept it positive.
Nothing about Karen, although there is a Bob
Probably a lot harder to avoid controversy than we realize. Lots of rules.

Looking over those names, and am I the only one who is wondering how old the 'schoolkids' who created them are? I mean...I'm in my 40's, and some of those pop culture references were before my school days (I'm looking at you, Brinestone Plowboy, despite how awesome I think the name is).

Ditching the computer system that's made my professional life (more of) a living Hell for the past three years has me giddy!
