The license plate: MID LiFe Crisis
I'm 48. I got a new Ford Fusion, the S model (low end) specifically for the manual transmission and the lack of power doo-dads and gizmos. What does that say about me?
And Crid: as much as I like pale skinned redheads, I don't mind Chinese pianists in form fitting dresses. Wow.
heh, I used to hate the old geezers in Porsches, thinking "man, what a waste..."
But then I got married, had a house, 2 kids and so forth, divorced... and realized by the time I was able to afford to buy something fun to drive like that... you guessed it, I'd be much older.
As for the sweet thing for a traveling companion? That's likely more of a pipedream, not that I'd be opposed.
I'm very pleased to report that this individual has been captured by rebels.
This is like the day that Saddam fell: I know full well that the big picture isn't meaningfully brightened... But my heart wants to sing nonetheless.

At this hour, the following material is presented by Google Maps as a review of the Rixos Al-Nasr Hotel in Tripoli, in which Seif Al-Islam is said (by the local newspaper!) to be entrapped:
Madiiq - Aug 21, 2011
The service here is unbelievable -- unbelievably bad. So I stay here for two nights. William Shatner personally promised me a great deal...fantastic view, gorgeous women etc. On the second night I am surrounded by bandits and rebel "rats" to come to "arrest" me. I am completely shakened! I haven't even had my morning martini yet! Before they take me, you can bet that I am definitely going to trash the room and take the soap, towels, and eat everything in the minibar. You can bet I will never visit here again. - Saif al-Islam

Do you guys hear that? You guys back East? Do you hear that cackling sound coming from the direction of the sunset? That's your California friend, Cridmo, laughing at the internet very hard and loving it very much.

Rixos Al Nasr Tripoli has welcomed its first guest on 12th March, 2010. In the meantime, the property has also welcomed amongst its guests the President of Eritrea.
And now, others.

I may be repeating myself, but -
Years ago when Reagan set out to collect all the unpaid student loans, there was a story of a southern California doctor who owed well over $100k and refused to pay.
The front-page story showed the Feds swooping in on his beautiful home and his two luxury cars with the plates "FISL1" and "FISL2".
Vanity, thy name is Doctor.

As a mid-life crisis car, honestly, the NSX is the most sensible decision I can imagine.
They're a supercar that a sane person can justify buying (if they're moderately well-off and like driving a lot), now that the big depreciation hit has come they hold their value fairly well, they're durable and reliable far beyond the norm for the class, and both parts and labor are not insane.
The purchaser is thus marked as more sensible than a Porsche purchaser, and a million times more sensible than anyone buying an Italian sports car.

This pisses me off because just a few hours ago they were saying the other one had gotten away, and I was all, like, whatever...
The International Criminal Courts wants Saif al-Islam. Even though the ICC might in general be a bogus operation, I think they deserve to be indulged in this particular case.
GOD I hate that man.
