Egg Shells

We all know those people who can't stomach a little noise in their life, much less a controlled riot. You know them: they obsessively go to great lengths to control their environment, typically with sneaky passive-aggression. What remarkable fragility; how serene, how sublimely staid.

Since every road-worthy vehicle comes equipped with some kind of horn, we faithfully make use of it: early and often. If blowing the horn as loudly as possible and with wreckless abandon has truly become a problem, automakers would update the design to get rid of horns and you would only be able to find them in redneck front and backyards.

You may walk on egg shells, if you like. However, by mandate, we will continue to signal with directionals and our reliably blaring horn.

Death on Wheels

We know: we risk coming off as completely inappropriate and insensitive to personal loss. However, we've posted our feelings at least once. Plus, it isn't as if we're including any info that this driver keeps from complete strangers. If it seems like we cover the spectacle of RIP stickers too frequently, know that we have deleted many more images than we have posted.

While attempting to maintain some propriety, we delicately wonder if this name is a bit... ethnic. After all, there is no possible way the deceased was of European descent, even though the last name was Smith.

There is no question that people should honor loved ones. We simply question whether this display falls more along the lines of exploitation than honor. Exploitation of what? You choose...

Who Doesn't?

We love hefty girls whose girth spills over the top of their overly tight pants. Commonly known as the muffin top, it really is all that. Parents: if your daughter can't be described as slim, please do suggest more appropriate coverage, especially of the offending portion of their body.

While this driver admits a thing for ladies who heart soil, we merely suggest that more qualified criteria is in order. For example, is it fine with you if your dream girl steals your money, smokes cigars and fraternizes with other men, so long as they love silt loam?

We could be wrong, however, if your vision is only through the bottom of a beer glass. At that level, almost any female will work, right?

Less Sizzle

We enjoy summer for so many reasons, not the least of which is a certain flavor which can only be grilled into most any kind of meat. Without great apology to vegetarians, we heart a wide variety of meats. Even hot dogs and plain sausages are simply more tasty when they have sizzled over the open flame.

Once you get the hang of temperatures and grill placement, there is no shortage of sauce and rub options with which to slather beef, pork, poultry and even fish. You drooling yet?

While we do appreciate searing meats of diverse flavors, we cannot condone plastering tailgate decor to that effect. Unless the commuter grills in the bed of this truck, what could the sticker possibly have to do with the vehicle? Seems like more steak is in order.

Prozac Please

Is it the best medicine? With over-the-counter medication abuse on the rise, many people may disagree. It seems that some folks have instead chosen Prozac, nitrous oxide and a variety of ibuprofen and aspirin to kill life's pain. While there is indeed medically justified use of these drugs, one need not be a pharmacologist to suspect that such numbing is a solution of convenience.

However, comedy and appreciating it takes a little effort and perhaps even a sense of humor. And what is intrinsically wrong with simple and ridiculous laughs? Sure, they may take a measure more creativity than shockingly crude humor and jokes at the expense of others.

In all we find the innocence of pure fun refreshing. And, during particularly trying times, a little tomfoolery goes a long way toward regaining normalcy.
