Soxy

That sucks! I fell in love with them after I heard one of their songs on That 70s Show--since then I've been a huge fan. Hope they find him safe and sound!!!

I have this really awful feeling of impending doom. Uh-oh.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) Getting a good deal on a car loan will help you a lot in the long run. Pay close attention to the interest rate cause thats where they can bite you and you wont even know it. Mine is only 4.52% and thats whats keeping my payments under 300 a month. Amen, because of my credit score and that I was able to finance for the shorter loan period I qualified for a 2.99% loan. It was amazing and I'm grateful for that every time I write out my car note.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) Where I come from, there's cornbread and chicken. Anyone has any clue what I'm referencing and they get a virtual cookie. Well, where I come from there's a lot of front porch sittin.'

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) I consider this to be a mistake. I used to sell vacuums for a living. If you go in with a price in your head...the single last thing to do is tell the salesman what it is you're willing to pay, because then the Salesman immediately knows whether or not he has you or not. If you tell him a price that is $500 above the minimum he's willing to sell that car for...he'll try to work you over for another $100 or so knowing full well that he has room to fall back on if things turn bad. And if you tell the guy a price, you'll never, ever see a lower one. Really? He took me through the entire lots' inventory that was under and right up to my price range. Drove three cars, only one of which mildly approached my spending limit. I do think that it helped though, that I came in with quotes from other dealers, and a taking no s*** attitude. Got a better car than I was initially looking for and spent less than I was thinking of spending.

The girls and I went and saw 40 year old virgin today. We laughed, we ahhhhhh'ed, we grabbed our boobs to make sure they didn't feel like a bag of sand. It was a fun little comedy that is surprisingly sweet (along with really raunchy). All 4 of us really enjoyed it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) The thing is, I'm not looking right at this moment, but definitely within the year. The area I'll be in is wherever employment takes me. I am young, never purchased a car before, and never watched my Dad go through this process. I mainly don't want to get taken advantage of and at the same time don't want to be overzealous. I think the main thing is, to go in and look like you know what you're doing. I made the sales guy show me the engine, so I could check in various places for corrosion, check the floor mats and carpet for signs of wear and tear or repair, and stuff like that. I really did my homework and feel like by being an informed consumer they couldn't take advantage of me. Oh, and I walked out of any dealership whose first question to me was What color do you want. Ummmmm, let's see do you have the sedan in a lovely f*** off?

When I bought my car I went in, told him how much I wanted to spend total, how much I was putting down and told him to show me what was in my price range. I didn't haggle, I just told him exactly what I wanted and would pay upfront; I think I got a good deal.

But all of you have forgotten the true gem of Australian culture: Priscilla Queen of the Desert!!!! To this day everytime I see Hugo Weaving I can only think of him in drag.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) Man, tough room. One dollar won't even get you VHS rental nowadays. They're saying Oscar buzz, so it's probably above average to good. Yeah, but I'm a poor student. Five dollars at the regular theater is a bit much when I can wait a month and see it for a buck.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Anyone gonna see "The Constant Gardner"? The critics are all over it's nuts. Maybe at the dollar theatre. Can't see myself paying much more for it. Although I think Rachel Weiscz usually does very good movies.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Maybe, except the other person would probably hold a gun not a spoon. It's not really something say the kiddies would spend doing a lot of. Oh. I think I would like trivial pursuit better.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Where's Jim when you need him, I'm sure he'd go on and on about the wonderful seafood Australia has to offer. I suppose you've got to be into to it to enjoy it, I just love most types of seafood, especially fresh prawns and salmon. And you can cook it, batter it, etc., diff. ways to enjoy it. I think the reason I like the abroad fish and chips is because it doesn't taste like fish, but I'll take your word for it. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Oh boy... You have a lot to learn about the world, Soxy. Hush you.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) "I see you HAVEN'T played Knifey Spooney before". is it a real game?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Are you any good at Knifey-Spooney though? wtf is that?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:43 AM) Yep just remember; 1) Mucus in pouches. Never seen it 1st - hand, and I'm not ever going to. 2) Big Fosters Cans. Only Mike (SS2K5) would drink one of those (and he'd love every bit of it). 3) Boomerang. The last time I threw one of those, my dog stole it and treated it like a bone. 4) Bootings. Never used. We prefer the Wooden Spoon Method. And yes a beach in January is delightful, especially when you have say Fish and Chips there, and just relax all day doing nothing. Lol, exactly. Except I though the Australian accents were really bad. But I had a really strong urge to watch my toliet flush after that episode. Mmmmmmm, beaches and fish and chips--I don't even like fish, but I think in other countries they put like heroin or something in them, because that is some good stuff. (Tries desparately to think of something else. . .)

I just saw the Simpsons about Bart vs. Australia yesterday, and I thought of our own sweet DBAHO. And how nice a beach in January would be. . .

Treacherous E Dogg Tricktickler E Fresh or Fineass Soxy Luthor Hmmmm, I'll take the second or the third.

I have a printed copy of this hanging in my office--and plan on using it as a tool in classes I teach in the future.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) I'm with you Kelly Wunsch, err, I mean Ross. Pack it up and go be a .300 hitting starter elsewhere, where they appreciate you. I appreciate him. And I hope he tears it up for teh rest of the season and is valued somewhere next year.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:48 PM) I don't like the idea of this. If a girl gets mad at you she could just stick that up her cooter and hurt you. Again, foreplay people, foreplay.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) Eh well. College students are the only consumers happy to get less for their money.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) moi? No one. I was just responding to LMB. I've heard a lot of teh same from my "educated" lab partner. And it was irritating me.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) *raises hand i've had 'em And they're bulls***. You did not pay several hundred dollars for a class to take a crappy-ass Syllabus quiz. Hey prof--teach them something.
