*Judo Chop to the Neck!*

Tyrone Germaine Hogan had to be thinking, “This is just NOT my day” when he met resistance in his attempt to carjack a minivan full of tourists. Resistance, kids, is also know as getting your ass kicked by a college varsity judo team in town for a competition. ouch!

Grrl Cars Are Better Than Boy Cars Anyway, SO THERE!

Following Jason’s link to the Car Talk site on The Worst Car of the Millenium, I found a pretty cool article on what people across the country are saying on the topic of Guy Cars vs. Chick Cars.

I had this same discussion a couple of years ago with a group of good friends. I was informed that my VW GTI was DEFINITELY a chick car. The guys insisted that my car was not “manly” enough to be a guy car. “Really, it’s sooo…. cute! What guy would drive a little thing like THAT!?”

”A cool one.”

Carnival Time!

In honor of my carnival like life this weekend (my housemate's wedding/my mother almost died and is back in the hospital/broke my toe and twisted my back), I give you a story from NPR about old time carnival fairs. I love the end of the story when they play the clip about the burlesque show!
