Ended up living in Malaga for the next year.

I knew the Spanish were slow, but a year for a gas tanker to show up???

Now that's man?na!

We were sitting in our warm truck, out of the wind, eating our ice creams, parked between my favorite ice cream stand and Shell, on Fairlight Drive. Breaking the quiet was the sound of some poor guy trying to get his little, rusted out, bucket-of-bolts, tin can car going.

His starter was shot. Whole bunch of dead spots… more dead than alive. We sat there, chuckling to ourselves, because the guy kept trying… getting more and more frustrated… parked at the pumps. For as long as it took us to eat up our ice cream, and go on our way, that guy stayed there with his car, trying to get it started.

At what point do you go up to the guy and say, "Hey buddy. I think your starter is toast. We'll help you push your car out of the way. Just give it up. You're annoying."

We thought maybe a used starter would cost him less than the gas he put in his car.

See? My story had gas in it.

speaking of fuel…the hits from my bills lately has been steadily "fueling" my way to the 700 club…I just hit 200 hits! W00000000000000T

Speaking of gas, what really fuels my tank (hehe, I like that line) nowadays is transmission fluid. I have a huge leak in my transmission pan, I have to top it off every other day. When its low, it goes chugga chugga chugga and doesn't shift well. When its topped up, VROOOM!

fixed? No you do like I did and sell it! I had a car that went trough 3-4 liters of water every day, a liter of oil every 2 days, a liter of trany fluid every 5 days and fill up the brake fluid twice a month, and I sold it to a guy I used to drive to work 6 days a week for $600.

ANGLOFROG. At this rate this string may never run out of gas although I believe it is starting to run on fumes…PUN…pun..pun..or is that ping…ping…ping..

Gee, you go on that site? My friend has gone to the gory site and seen a bunch of horrible things. Hense the name I guess, rotten.com. I haven't visited, and don't plan to.
What kind of idiot does that?

ANGLOFROG

Gee I guess I asked for it now. Yes I do go to that gory site regularly and am quite facinated in watching human beings turn to meat. It is truly amazing what forms the body takes on thru various means of death. Actually it helped me out a lot last summer, you see a friend of mine died the summer before, he was tall and quite obese, never took care of his health, had bad teeth and a bad heart. He went everywhere by car and was known to travel great distances for the best value buffet restaurants. Anyways we didn't hear from him for a while, a friend of his dropped by unexpectedly one hot day in July and when he came across the stench and the flies and no one would answer the door, the friend called the cops. Well the ambulance/coroner arrived too and ascertained that poor Bill (not his real name, but it doesn't matter now) had died from a heart attack. He had been <a href=http://poetry.rotten.com/nobody-saw-him/>dead for a week</a> when they found him.

I am NOT an idiot, I am just curious, BTW what grosses me out is insects. I cannot stand looking at bugs.

I seem to have a weak stomach regarding such things… I hope I don't get nightmares… and I hope I'll never be found dead like that. Though… I bet lots of people are.

I've got a story.

My sister had friends who were renting part of a house in Vermillion, AB while they were going to college. A single, older man rented the basement suite.

One day, they noticed a peculiar odor coming from the vents… they also realized they hadn't seen the guy below them for days…

It was discovered that he had fallen into a drunken stupor, (an empty bottle of pills was also found), and he was finally located, down between the side of the bed and the wall… on a vent.

Sorry dr and everyone… this thread has turned ugly and might need to be flushed.
