What if, instead of rewarding those with hybrids and high mpg vehicles by letting them drive in the HOV lane, we punish the SUVs... and make them all drive in the same lane?

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Even with the govt. refund?

However, I do mostly highway driving and still get 50mpg. (Unless I am doing a rapid acceleration, it seems to be using a combination of the gas engine and the battery.) The gas efficiency is apparent at the pump - a $20 fillerup yields upwards of 375 miles. I think it's worth it... but that's just my opinion. (Mec, when I was car shopping, the Prius wasn't that much more than any other car I was looking for...)

Heck yeah! They already do this in some states. I got a Prius last November and love it. It doesn't get 65mpg or whatever is listed, as these things are tested in ideal (read: unrealistic) conditions. But I won't complain about 50mpg in a nice, zippy car. (Plus I can put the seats down, roll out my sleeping bag, and sleep comfortably in my "trunk" if need be...) Hybrids

... or know where I can get rid of one?

... and impersonating Groucho Marx?

That's awesome! I especially like the fact that the owl is wearing glasses!

I'm glad they clarified that it was a fluffy white dog, because if it was a matted down grey one, I might not have cared as much.

Life of Pi! I hear they are making this into a movie?

What are you talking about??

Speaking of stupid people who shouldn't proliferate... my cousin just got back together with his ex. Sorry, just had to let that out somewhere, cuz I can't bitch about it here at work.

Wow, you guys are quick. Was busy doing that nose-mouse thing... the results were mixed. I could do it but 2 other people (1 M & 1 F) could not. Hmmm... but we did have a good laugh! OK I'm going to go try this one. BRB You guys

Yes, but you don't know where I work, do you? But seriously...

I was just talking to some of my coworkers about how females have a lower center of gravity than males (no I don't recall how we got on this subject). Some of them remember a test that involves bending at a 90 degree angle with your head against the wall, and a chair... and because of the different centers of gravity, males could not do it but females could. Unfortunately no one could remember the specifics of the "test"... so does anyone here know? If I don't find out this is gonna bug me and I REALLY won't be able to get any work done!

I heard that if you request your credit score, it goes down... any truth to that?

Karlovacko - made me LIKE beer, not just tolerate its existence

I heard on the radio this morning that someone died on Lake Tapps, doing some new "sport" (questionable) similar to water skiing - except, you hold on to the back of the boat (not wearing skis) while the boat is going at a low speed. Would that even be fun? The reporter said it was dangerous because people inhale the fumes from the boat and pass out. DUH!!!!!!!!!

What's it say? (I'm in Tacoma and my eyesight isn't THAT good.)

Clue The Burbs Airplane What's our vector, Victor?

I like Coldplay, but the traffic caused by that damn concert pissed me off to no end.

At least the views are nice (mostly).

I think so.
