I pretty much also spray my wiper fluid whenever i feel like it, and I could give a rat’s ass if it gets on some tailgater’s car hood. Come to think of it, that may be a good way to deal with tailgaters. Thanks for the idea, **macabresoul**. (Or should I say **Fanta**?) ---

Okay, how many posts did the MiQ…er, OP make after promising that an earlier post was the last one? Feel free to give both numbers–the one not including Fanta and the one including those two posts. ---

It has to do with the assholes who replied with asshole-like comments. It pissed me off when it happened because it’s happened on rare occasion before. What pissed me of is the lack of understanding to my terrible problem, 😃 > [@](#): > > Water is gross??

Man, here I was feeling the Sunday (yes, I know it’s really Monday) night blues and here you come along, a little pint size package of spunk and rage to get me laughing again. Thanks. I really dug that “I use blinkers and shit” like too. That clinched it. ---

Hey…maybe we are all just bored to tears with absolutely no lives of our own and somehow are able to live vicariously thru others rants… Or maybe, just maybe, some of us didn’t get invited to the neighborhood BBQ and, even tho we got drunk last year and peed all over the charcoal brickettes, that is NO REASON NOT TO INVITE ME THIS YEAR!!! Or maybe, just maybe, SOME PEOPLE WHO GET PISSED OFF BECAUSE THEY HAD A SHITTY DAY AND WANT TO SPAR WITH EVERYONE WHO CROSSES THEIR PATH!!! ummmm…what was the question? 😕 ---

Picture a rainy, autumn day. The car in front of you was obviously parked under a large maple tree. Such lovely colors. The driver finally decides that seeing through the windshield would be a novel approach and turns on the wipers. FWAP…FWAP…FWAP… wet leaves smacking on my windshield. Now since I can’t see, I pass my autumn colors on to the next guy. And it goes on and on…😃 Now you may return to your fistfight… ---
