Whats wrong? Crossed your deadline?

I got a deadline in just about 1 hour, and I guess by then I migth be sounding a bit like you :)

I sure hope it dosent hurt as much as it soundt. Good luck :)

I know, you've been trying to implement and customize Sharepoint ;-)

not only are you not famous (which i guess means your infamous) but you drive a nice mini. hmmm i must get a job over your end of the woods

yep. that happened to me. I'll never try Acupuncture again.

You know they have professionals in the psychiatric field that can help with this problem.

Yea, I have days like that too!

I *think* the open casting for Pirates of Penzance is already closed...

Now tell us what you really think Rory :-)

[thinking about printing this, sticking it to the monitor, with the caption "remember, it could be worse"]

Hey, at least it wasn't your future wife that ran into your car..
..With your truck.

yeah, it's funny *now*..

As my dad said to my miscreant brothers more than once during my teenage years: "Just get the car wax out and rub it REAL HARD! Then your mother might not notice..." (I don't think a little car wax will do the trick this time...

Then he usually followed that up with "Of course, you COULD just move to Canada with all those other draft dodgers!"

Of course, it was always MY car that they were denting up...

Now this cute little red car is really YOUR car, right? Not your future wife's, RIGHT?!?!?! (I hear Canada is nice this time of the year!)

That'll buff right out!

Poor poor Mini. It received some hard lovin' from a cab and wasn't even given a reach-around. Sad.

I see this kind of stuff daily, though it doesn't always lead to accidents. Human group behavior is pretty facinating in that someone can completely screw up and their "problem" can be absorbed by the whole so that no consequences become of it. This time, there were consequences.

How much you wanna bet this wasn't the first and this won't be the last for the cabby. Accidents tend not to change driving habits, though in my case they made a pretty good impression (it was more the spending money I don't have part). Hopefully he got a ticket, cops were called, and all that fun stuff. Also a word of advice, never admit fault let the police figure out who's to blame. Wouldn't have taken a genius to figure out who gets the ticket there. Failure to yield right of way, improper lane change, and erratic driving are just a couple of what I could come up with. I'm sure a good cop would have loved to slap on more for good measure. They teach him a lesson with money, and you feel slightly better about some retard crashing into you. Could have been a nice win/win but it looks like that didn't happen exactly.

My first month in Seattle: Driving downtown to a client's site. Jag in the right lane. A tandem dump truck in left lane. Dump truck needs to turn right - and just does it. The jag didn't have a chance. Ripped the entire front left quarter panel off the jag. The truck driver didn't even notice - or if he did, he didn't care. Kept on driving. Jag took off after him, leaving the quarter panel behind.

That was sad.

But not as sad as seeing the picture of your poor little Mini. Give it a kiss for me.

Does this cute little Mini have a name? (Us readers have this urge to personify the darling little critter...)

How else are we supposed to know what name to put on the "Get Well" cards we're gonna send to the car clinic where you're going to get it's nose fixed. (Will it come out having a big French nose instead of that dainty little English nose?)

It doesn't have a name yet? Then maybe we should have a "Name Rory's Cute Car Contest"...

Penicillin should clear that right up.

Gee, Rory,

I'd thought my Miata was tiny. How does one fit into those Minis? Is there any headroom at all?

You bastard. You put many links to the same URL and had me clicking on each and thinking "something's wrong" because they all went to the same page and only then did I notice the URL was the same. Stop doing that!

How, pray tell, does the Eighth Wonder of the World manage to fit itself into such a small car?

Anyways, I hope you smurfed the smurfing smurf for smurfing up your smurf.
