State of the Game

The air horns were never used for alerting anyone to my presence for their safety. They were used to confuse drivers in traffic jams, heckle people, terrify people and other drivers, goad the police cars in traffic jams by the main station, and to generally be a total arx.

Horning the seagulls in Poole park was one of the best daily games, as they would take off as a huge flock and crap all over the fitness loonies running around the park, and on the tennis courts, and often over the people on pedalos in the little bay part too.

I really was a bad child....(in my twenties...)

Nice to see that you're reformed grown up matured still alive.
 
loved that car when it came out - had the coolest back window for its time!
In the late 70's, my grandparent's driveway was littered with home to a blue Pacer and a green Gremlin, both from AMC...

And one of my uncles had a green Ford Pinto...

Was the AMC Pacer the one with the fuel tank right behind the rear bumper?

e. I googled. No. It was the Pinto... 'unsafe at any speed'.

I appreciate it was a flop, but (ahem) I actually thought it looked not-dreadful.

God yes! There were many other things that received a horning, but I shan't list many of them in case this comes up on a future job search background check.... especially if I apply for a job at the golf club, cricket ground, or many other municipal and private places where people go to concentrate and not be disturbed at the worst possible moment :)

It appears that Renault acquired a large interest in AMC in '77, so the Fuego, of which you are fond, might be a descendant of the Pacer. Later on ('85-ish) Chrysler acquired all of AMC and, AFAIK, the Jeep brand is the only survivor of what AMC used to be.

If it wasn't for the fact that what you wrote is quite interesting, I would have mistaken your post for one of Ender's monologues about how crap everything is in the world, and how he would fix it.

What could have also tipped you off is that I'd never wax poetic about a crappy car from the 70's or 80's. Cuz i'm not old enough where those ugly underpowered deathtraps are nostalgic

Hahahaha! I'm going to get one of my cheeky comments past you one of these days mate! ;)

Meanwhile - I found some balls.

That's found, not fondled. We have a no touching policy aboard the Star of the East.

It's a Brussels Sprout tree!

Kill it with fire! Then add acid. Then more fire. Then place in a star. Then add some more fire.
