Well at least the Smart car's got nuts, 'cause I've never seen a Smart car driver with any

I don't know this personally, but I'm guessing that a good stalker doesn't disclose their intentions.

^ You did hear about Devaney's truck nuts gift to Oprah, right? I figure that would be sweet revenge for that embarrassment.

My apologies then. I had about as much interest in following Oprah's visit as either chewing on tin foil or pounding a meat thermometer into my head with a rubber mallet. Either would be as much fun.

For the first time in my life I filled a police complaint. Some Super Save disposal truck carrying a large blue disposal bin had it's flaps open while on highway 2 just south of Blackmud Creek. Must of created a vortex in the bin and it sent out a shit ton of garbage bags and depris all over the northbound lanes. Just about caused a massive pile up....I had to hit a unbroken bag head on because I had no escape route. garbage all over.

I'd call the garbageman driver all sorts of names....but I think garbageman is about as bad as it gets.

the stupid thing is the almost pile up isn't what frustrates me.....all the work i've done over the years being involved in various volunteer groups picking bags and bags of garbage was essentially nuetralized because of one garbageman to fucking lazy to lock the bin he was transporting.

^^ I can see right through these insincere rationalizations: You are clearly an anti-Garbite.

Interesting. I found out today that another participant in the city RFEI put in a proposal for the lot at the SE corner of 104ave and 101st.
