From the corner of my eye, I noticed a lady approaching. She had several dimes and wanted to exchange them for quarters. Thankfully I had placed a huge pile of quarters on the machine so I could add time as needed and was able to give change quickly. ...but try to exchange coins while holding a high pressure hose... not the easiest task.Charlotta-lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694362692847403727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-40237322641709030242008-08-04T21:33:00.000-05:002008-08-04T21:33:00.000-05:00I truly thought Rose Royce was going to have to re...I truly thought Rose Royce was going to have to rescue the hero Bone by providing quarters for lesser change, though I so hoped McGuyver Bone would avoid that. It was a more debonair Bone, one who obviously had the forethought to replace the beer or flowers that had previously resided in the pitcher before de-foaming his car. The pitcher was a clue to a future remake, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-61168526918452341372008-08-03T07:49:00.000-05:002008-08-03T07:49:00.000-05:00oh I hate those self-serve car wash places.

I think there's a Master Card commercial in there somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Renee - I'm not sure that's the <I>main</I> reason I need a wife. <BR/><BR/>Or maybe it is :)<BR/><BR/>Someone - Thanks. I have a friend like that, too. I sometimes affectionately refer to him as Dad.<BR/><BR/>Capn John - Oh, great. Now you've spoiled the entire movie for everyone. May as well go ahead and tell them about the Kim Cattrall cameo, too.<BR/><BR/>(Actually, there wasn't a timer. See Act The Third, paragraph B. And thanks for introducing me to Brian Meeker. I had to google him. Apparently, the guy's a legend.)<BR/><BR/>Paisley - Exactly! No machine is going to outsmart me. Well, except for the computer player on online Othello.<BR/><BR/>Sylvia - You hatched? Congratulations! Glad you made it back in time for this epic tale of... something. <BR/><BR/>Mrs. R - Yeah, I'm all about the five dollar car wash. Unfortunately, it was already closed on this evening.<BR/><BR/>You couldn't make it over there? What exactly do you do all day? ;)<BR/><BR/>Sage - Thanks. I was just hoping no neighbors were watching. I'm sure I'll find out during my weekly "grievances against you" conversation with the landlord.<BR/><BR/>Good call on the Cool Hand Luke. <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3aWRUmoSs" REL="nofollow">Here ya go</A>Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-22346994595694329262008-08-02T11:55:00.000-05:002008-08-02T11:55:00.000-05:00I will have to say that I was really hoping for an...I will have to say that I was really hoping for an video insert of the car wash scene in Cool Hand Luke (where the girl gets all wet while the guys on the chain gang watch with their tongues dragging)... <BR/><BR/>But instead, I learn how Bone baptized his car in an apartment parking lot. Did you make the sign of the cross, while mumbling in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost? And just what did the neighbors think of this sacrament, you have the makings here of another story.<BR/><BR/>Nicely done, btw!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-40951435426113766242008-08-02T08:55:00.000-05:002008-08-02T08:55:00.000-05:00All day yesterday a certain 9 year old BEGGED me t...All day yesterday a certain 9 year old BEGGED me to drive thru the car wash. You know, the $5 one with the free vacuums? I never made it over there, but the car REALLY needs it. Your little bugs are nothing compared to all the gunk on ours due to our trip through the drive thru zoo on Thursday. She is so embarrassed by all the dirt that she even asked me to hand wash it. YEAH RIGHT! At 9 mths pregnant??? NO WAY! Maybe she and Mr R will get around to it this weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-29048142159511093562008-08-01T21:41:00.000-05:002008-08-01T21:41:00.000-05:00Bwahhhhhhh!Totally missed you during my hatching s...Bwahhhhhhh!<BR/><BR/>Totally missed you during my hatching season.

All good Heroes can do things simultaneously, such as fighting bad guys, displaying the gymnastic prowess of Brian Meeker while they simultaneously conduct a stand-up routine that could be used to open a Seinfeld episode.<BR/><BR/>Wait a minute! I think I understand! Other than the snippet in Act The Second, there was very little mention made of the washer in the adjacent bay, but it can only have been our Hero's arch-nemesis, correct? The evil villain must have been secretly testing his latest anti-Hero weapon ...which robbed our hero of his ESPV!!!<BR/><BR/>That's brilliant!

See if you had a wife she could have sat by the control box with the quarters and deposited them as needed so that you did not run out of time before you were finished. How do I have this great knowledge?
