I drove past that replica at 3:00am once. I was passenger and napping, I woke up just as we were driving by, I took a quick photo and went back to sleep. I was WTF? for years. Still am to a certain extent.

My mom has been telling me about the things I used to do as an infant -- wedge myself under the couch, lock my body up so as to avoid my carseat, pull stuff off the shelves at the grocery store. I ask if my brother Nick, who has been laid back his whole life, did the same crap. "Oh, no," replies my mother earnestly. "Nicky was a cool baby."

your car seat? How old are you, like 18? In my day they didn't even have seat belts unless you paid extra for them.

And we used to ride in the back of my dad's pick-em-up truck. He told us not to sit on the wheel well but I often did. I see anyone in the back of a truck these days and I think "they're gonna die" and "isn't that illegal?" and "hillbillies".

My memory of riding in the back of a pick up truck was that you would get sand blown into your eyes. It sucked.

I saw a couple teenage girls riding in the back of one down the freeway recently, all hunkered down behind the cab. Squinting and kinda curled up. I had nothing but sympathy for them.

I rode in the basket of a hot air balloon on a trailer once. The dad who was driving told us to duck if there were any cops. That was kind of fun, but the wind was really whipping through the wicker when he got on the highway and my buddy and I had to sit down on the floor of the basket.

I loved riding in the back of the truck. It was like a privilege, though it was mostly because there were too many kids and cabs weren't extended back then either.

I rode in the basket of a hot-air balloon in the air once.

It was way cool.

No, like food baskets. Like when you get chicken strips and fries at Arby's. I rode in that. It was the yum.

Ocean's Edge...at first I was like HUH then I was like HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

One review I read:

Quote:

Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long! I use it when I'm swimming, riding a horse, walking on the beach and doing yoga. It's comfortable, leak-proof, non-slip and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty! Since I've begun using these pens, men have found me more attractive and approchable. It has given me soft skin and manageable hair and it has really given me the self-esteem I needed to start a book club and flirt with the bag-boy at my local market. My drawings of kittens and ponies have improved, and now that I'm writing my last name hyphenated with the Robert Pattinson's last name, I really believe he may some day marry me! I'm positively giddy. Those smart men in marketing have come up with a pen that my lady parts can really identify with.

Did you write that? Because it's really funny and sarcastic and right up my alley!

(And Welcome! I've been remiss in welcoming you. I thought maybe you were an existing dwellar with a changed name, too. You're quite funny and a great addition to the Cellar. Now, did I read that new guy dwellar is your guy? Even better. Two for one!)
