And in other news... not sure yet if I'm getting the podmobile back today. I do know how much it's going to cost though... $689. Bastard!!!

Oh, and straif... I know what that noise is now.

Geebus. I'm sorry :( That thing is a money pit!

[podling]

I believe the total so far for repairs this year is around $3800 or maybe 4K, if you include oil changes.

This is why I can't pay off my debts. This is why I can't afford other stuff. This is why I can't go on cool vacations. Yeah.

And thanks...

Was it a clogged blinker fluid line?

Tell me, tell me!

Bastard!

But it could be worse, you could have been hit on Rt. 1 by a whale...

You could have bought or leased a very nice car for that amount of money. Grief!

You know, when I read this, the first thing I thought of was actually one of those inflatable crabs or lobsters that seafood restaurants sometimes have on top of them. Hmmn.

Actually, now that I think of it, I remember a whale one.

[podling]

No. Make me!

BITCHWHORE!

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I had a nightmare about one of those inflatable lobsters once...

You'd think they'd have inflatable puffer fish, because hello, they already do that. Plus, nothing says seafood like neurotoxins.

Good thing they don't have inflatable urchins. They would be self-puncturing.

It does suck. Don't I know it. But I don't have the current funding to get something else. I'd started saving for this eventuality, so at least I have 2/3 of what I need to fix it, but... yeah. The car will be paid off in November, then I can move on. NJ only requires you to inspect it every two years, so I have until then to get a new one, I figure.

[laurasaurora.livejournal.com]

well, hopefully this is the last major thing until november.

And you know what else? Puffer fish make ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!

Fugu voodoo.

[piratejenny.livejournal.com]

From T, as he shakes his head in wonder or dismay: "And you understood that reference about fugu?"

Me: "Yeah. Cause if it's not prepared right, it kills people!"

[straif.livejournal.com]

Cause if it's not prepared right, it kills people!

Sometimes they are only mostly dead. In parts of Japan, they wait a few days before a fugu poisoning victim is considered dead. The easy way is to see if (in a most unzombie-like fashion) decomposition fails to set in. But is it more reliable than bellows?
