Car-Salesman-To-English Translator
===============================

WHEN THE CAR SALESMAN SAYS...
HE MEANS...

You're pre-approved!
For 25.9% interest rates.

We're having a big sale!
We couldn't give these problem cars away.

You qualify for special financing!
You obviously haven't made a payment on your outstanding Visa balance since before you went to prison for tax evasion.

Have you considered a lease?
You have the purchasing power of an eight-year-old between allowances.

We'd like to finance you here.
You'll still be paying for this when your eight-year-old goes to college.

Do you have a co-signer?
You couldn't finance the steam off of a cup of coffee.

I'd like to introduce you to our service department.
You'll be spending alot of time there.

Are you ready to buy today?
Don't waste my time.

Do you have good credit?
Don't waste my time.

Is this car in your price range?
Don't waste my time.

Do you like this vehicle enough to take it home today?
Please buy this before you notice the scratches and high mark-up.

What do we have to do to earn your business?
Do you like your screwing hard and fast, or soft and slow?

What do you have for a down payment?
How much do you have in the bank...in your pockets, in your wife's purse, in your children's piggy banks, under the couch cushions, and coming in your next paycheck?

What kind of a monthly payment were you considering?
Can you live in the car and give us the rent?

How about a (smaller, slower, cheaper) vehicle?
You can barely afford to ride the bus.

Have you considered a (larger, faster, more expensive) vehicle?
You'll be spending twice as much as you had planned.

Please feel free to look around.
I will hound you until you buy a car.

The (competing model) is an excellent car.
They outsell, outperform, and cost less than our model.

Of course you can have your mechanic look at it.
After you buy it.

It's economical.
It has the power of a loosely wound rubber band.

It performs.
It will deplete the fossil fuel reserves of OPEC before it's paid for.

It's the (fastest, most powerful, largest) in it's class.
No other manufacturer would build a car like this.

This model is all-new for this year.
We changed the shape of the headlights and added two speakers.

Note the classic lines.
It's as aerodynamic as a box of lead.

It's got dual air bags.
Duck!

It's a great value.
It's overpriced.

I'll even throw in the floor mats.
For another $199.00 on the back end.

It's a sport-utility vehicle.
A stiff breeze may tip it over.

Do you have proof of income?
We called McDonald's and they never heard of you.

It's our most popular model.
It's marked up $5,000.00 over sticker price.

What are you driving now?
What will you be trading in to me for $1,000.00 less than wholesale?

Regarding your trade:

Are these the original miles?
Your odometer has been rolled more times than Heidi Fleiss.

Has it ever been in an accident?
This car looks like it was salvaged from Baghdad.

It's a classic!
Your car was built before the Nixon administration. And has about as much integrity left.

JASON'S TOP TEN FAVE LINES IN JENN'S BLOG

I don't normally stray from my list format to plug my latest Internet crush. However, I stumbled across pure hilarity one day as one of those random "next blog" button hits: Patience Is a Virtue. The author is a married woman trying to conceive a child and her writing documents everything from her emotional struggle with infertility to her hair color. The reason her blog is so funny is her phrasing. Even her throw-away lines are crafted so that on their own they could be a bumper sticker. Highs: she captures the universal everyday banality of suburban life. Lows: she records her own monthly cycle in excruciating detail for the public to read.

You can normally get a chuckle by surreptitiously scanning snippets of her latest post while checking your e-mail at work. But you are better off to take the time to read the whole thing from the beginning, like a novel, to get a feel for her journey.

This is the kind of blog that is meant to be read at 2:00pm on rainy Tuesday afternoons while you're pretending to be home sick, sitting in your sweatpants, next to Kevin Federline, ashing Parliaments into the microwavable mac-'n'-cheese container.

Ladies: enjoy the guilty-pleasure-reading as she rips into her ex-husband and eviscerates his current wife, natch. Men: she's not stingy with the pictures.

To give you an idea what I am talking about, below are my Top Ten fave lines from her blog. Out of context you can imagine any one of these printed on a T-shirt. In context, they are even funnier. Enjoy.

Jason's Top Ten Fave Lines in Jenn's Blog

10. "Those bras are immoral."

9. "she said, 'We are having a little baby.' In a baby-talk voice. Which automatically annoyed me."

8. "spent a couple of hours rolling around naked on fur rugs and trying to remember to suck in my stomach."

7. "Note to cops: I am aware that Absinthe is illegal."

6. "Mike is hungry this morning. I bought him a burrito a mere 7 hours ago, and the man appears to want to eat again."

5. "Two cute kids all dressed up. Adorable. I fear for them."

4. "Here I sat at the salon, boldly experimenting with my hair color, deep in discussion about which bar in town makes the best cosmopolitans...."

3. "OK, don't freak out. I have to wear this ankle bracelet for a while and I can't leave my house."

2. "Oh shit- old habits! bye!"

And Jason's number one fave line in Jenn's blog...

1. ".5 second later....Oh my God! Not cool! Not cool! That is my shirt!"

-Jason Rohrblogger
(2/25/05)

And the alternates...

"you begin to heal when you get tired of the grieving process"

"I want to make fun of her pain simply because I think it was less than mine. 'What did she have, 6 failed Clomid cycles? That bitch doesn't KNOW pain.'"

"Assuming I live long enough, Mike and I are driving to Dallas tonight."

"I don't remember hearing 'Sweat Drip from my Balls' in the 80's, do you? Never mind, it was very fun."

"Just enough of an attraction that I began secretly touching scarfs. As time went on, my desire to fondle yarn increased"

"it never entered my mind to want him until he cut his hair."

"Just like a fairy tale, only a little sluttier."

"my husband's sperm overachieves in every possible category"

"Thank you for reading and I will do my best to keep things positive and interesting."

"In other news, I am 8 dpo and spotting heavily, with horrid cramps"

STELLA AWARDS

Stella Awards

It's once again time to review the winners of the annual Stella Awards. The Stellas are named after 81-year old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's.

That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the United States.

THIS YEAR'S AWARDS GO TO:

5TH PLACE (TIED): Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.

5TH PLACE (TIED): A man, 19-year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles, won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently did not notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal the hubcaps.

4TH PLACE: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500--and medical expenses--after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle dog. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought for because the jury felt the dog might have been a little provoked. At the time, Mr. Williams, who had climbed over the fence into the yard, had been shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

3RD PLACE: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier, during an argument.

2ND PLACE: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a nightclub in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out two of her front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window of the Ladies Room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.

1ST PLACE: This year's runaway winner was Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new Winnebago Motorhome. On his trip home from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he could not actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago Motorhome. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreational vehicles!

A COOL TIMELINE

A cool timeline...

25 years ago: I had just turned 10. The horses at Glenhilly, our ancestral Estate, were bringing their Spring foals. Father had picked out the fastest one, Zanzibar, an Arabian Quarter Horse with fire his belly, to be my mount for the Fox Hunt that season. Oh, father! Why did you have to leave us for that Haitian stable boy?

20 years ago: I had just turned 15, the Superior Court of Appeals finally mandated that I could be tried as an adult. Why didn't I listen to Senator Halstead when he was giving advice? I would later find out what the juvenile system had in store for less fortunate defendants...

15 Years ago: I had just turned 20. Getting out of the military was one of my better decisions but the lessons learned in Viet Nam were still ringing in my head. How I ended up in that tower and where I got the rifle are questions that I guess I'll never have answers to. I just hope God lets those kids enter heaven so I won't have to face them again.

10 Years ago: I had just turned 25. Like a lot of Baccalaureates I couldn't decide on a post college career. MBA? Work for Uncle Winston at the Underwriter's Guild? Law school beckoned with promises of huge payouts in questionable tort cases. How I ended up touring South Africa in that Sondheim Revue remains a mystery. What I know is that's how I met Alison Leslie Potts and that's all that matters.

5 years ago: I had just turned 30. I was spending $40 a day just to get well, $80 a day if I wanted to get high. At $5 a trick in Griffith Park, well, you do the math. I had lost Jill, Silas, and Zanzibar. I had hit bottom. At one point I just looked at Clarence Frank and announced in my best Judd Nelson "I've been to Paradise but I've never been to me."

3 years ago: I was 32. My time in the Peace Corps had been productive, even rewarding, but my novel was stalled and things with Bree were, well, sketchy. She didn't want to share me with the world and I loathed her coffeehouse friends. How could I enjoy a double half-caff when things were disintegrating in the Sudan? It would prove too much for either of us. I think I lost all desire to write after that. My novel was our stillborn child. I can still hear chapter 24 crying out its sad denouement in the cradle of my cerebellum. Rage against the dying of the light, little chapter, do not go gently into that good night...

1 year ago: I was 34. The surgery was a success and I could finally throw away my toupee forever! The braces will be off next year and to think they said I would never walk again! I can't wait to hold Zanzibar and taste the salt air of coastal New Guinea again.

This year: I've just turned 35. I live in my condo and, for the first time in my life, make pretty decent money. I will have a full-time job for the spring semester, and hope that it will extend into a permanent one. I have amazing friends who I love very much, and a family which supports me unconditionally (even though my dad would like me to get married). I still surf, and I still direct shows. I'm leaving for NY in a few days for another adventure.

Yesterday: I golfed with Harvey and he thinks my software fix for the mass spectrometer aboard the Hubble will never fly with Jerry and the boys at JPL. I just told him they can come up with their own Finley algorithm to deal with the Bose-Einstein Condensate. He backed down and promised there won't be anymore "Russian" episodes again. I was just happy to be golfing.

Today: It's only 2:14pm, but so far I'm on my second cup of coffee and am trying to reply to e-mails. I plan to go to the gym (but I said that yesterday and blew it off...) and will clean my foul house. I also have an appointment with Kevin, my hairdresser for a cut-and-color. Tonight I'm going to dinner and then drinks with Edward and I think that is progressing nicely. Tonight may be the night! I am excited about what the New Year will bring.

Tomorrow: January 11, 2005. I'm guessing I'll call the Independent Counsel back and finally agree to testify before Congress. I just hope Azra and Muhammad can get out of Gitmo before the other shoe falls. When I left Riyadh in '98 I never would have thought it would go down like this. Sometimes the world (and especially the Middle East!) is a crazy place, you know?

And you?

2004 ROUNDUP

All questions pertain to 2004, if it doesn't say specifically.

1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Finally decided that I want to stay a man. I think that is my gender-destiny.

2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
No. Unh unh.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
This lady next to me on the train.

4. Did anyone close to you die?
Rodney Dangerfield.

5. What countries did you visit?
Compton, Watts

6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
That kidney I sold for beer money.

7. What dates from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The 4th of July. I was in a hot tub full of women. September 11 when I sailed to Catalina Island and drank corn squeezins.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Staying off the junk.

9. What was your biggest failure?
I didn't have a successful, fulfilling romantic relationship. But I refuse to categorize this as a "failure". I did have some really cheap meaningless dinners.

Does mental illness count? Cause I didn't suffer any of that.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
A hairless Asian boy.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Paris Hilton

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Paris Hilton. Reality TV? C'mon, Paris. Go back to porn where you belong!

14. Where did most of your money go?
The Forum. Those who dismiss it as a cult don't understand the relationship between your soul and the material tribute we pay in this life to avoid a celestial shame spiral.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
This one time I found a parking meter with 21 minutes left on it! Screw you City Hall! HA! That's one quarter you won't be getting this year! Boo Yah! Go back to invading oil rich countries you Fascist Pinko Commie Hippies!

16. What song will always remind you of 2004?
If I Only Had a Brain.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Fuchsia
b) thinner or fatter? Quite
c) richer or poorer? Yes

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Crystal Meth

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Taxes.

20. How did you spend Christmas?
Working towards peace on earth. Cleaning out my linen closet.

21. Did you fall in love in 2004?
I wouldn't say "fell" so much as "collided with" in an unmarked intersection.

22. How many one-night stands?
We weren't really standing, but let's just say that I gave one Marine a memory he can take with him to the torture chambers of Fallujah. Semper Fi.

23. What was your favorite TV program?
TeleTubbies.

24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
That one guy who doesn't turn left on the protected green arrow because he is not paying attention because the through-traffic light is still red? That guy.

25. What was the best book you read?
Shadow Divers by Kurson

26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
The way my nose whistles when I'm congested and drunk.

Rolls Royce Phaeton III

29. What was your favorite film of this year?
The x-ray of my left molar when it cracked from riding the Supreme Scream at Knott's Bury Farm.

30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I went to, um, Chuck E. Cheese and, um, saw the moose, and...Oh! I won a pencil with a fire truck on it! And played Tekken, like, 30 times! The best part was the pizza cause a guy comes by and gives you all the free re-fills on Coke you can drink. I had three Cokes before my mommy said I couldn't have anymore. But the guy came by one more time and snuck me another one when my mommy wasn't looking. He was so cool! I ran out of tokens before Bobby did and he even shared some of his with me. I turned 35 this year.

31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more
satisfying?
A timely arraignment with my own counsel, not that Public Defender weasel they gave me. Late.

32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
Pre-Colombian Dominatrix.

33. What kept you sane?
Jack Daniel's and Slimfast. The brunch of champions.

34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Dan Rather. That guy can bring down a president faster than Monica Lewinsky. Did you see that forgery story he broke? Classic.

35. What political issue stirred you the most?
Gay divorce.

36. Who did you miss?
Bullwinkle Moose. They really gotta bring that guy back.

37. Who was the best new person you met?
Dr. Tony Silva. That guy knows bunions.

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004.
You can't really make a housecat take a bath if it doesn't want to. Or a shower. Or even get in the hot tub. Or the lap pool at Bally's.

39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Tell me why
The car is in the front yard
And I
Am sleeping with my clothes on?
