The guy on the rock is such a posing bastard.
Er. I want my character to be called Ziggy Jagger Guevara, Esq.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.

On the way to work today:
My first reaction was "Jesus Saves, but lost about 30% of his net worth in the recent stock market, and is screwed if he's retired."
That, my friends, is a Plymouth Volare, last model year 1980. You may remember it from such great ads as Ricardo Montalban singing the Volare song. Most astonishing is that Plymouth made a car that lasted 20 years.
Jesus doesn't inflate his tyres.

Ewwwwww.
I hate people who drive nasty cars like that. Don't they have any shame at all? Jesus should save the rest of us from having to see that shit. They should have taken advantage of cash for clunkers, or something.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
They probably have less money than shame.
And get up to $4500 off the purchase of a new car? Gotta figure that if they could even afford a few grand to buy a respectable used car, they wouldn't be driving around in car that's worth less than my wireless keyboard.

cain - I just noticed you cahnged from CK to CC. You like "Atariie Eh? You. hey heh.

Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
They must be dirt poor, and I had no intention of mocking that. I was just entertained by the sharpied "Jesus Saves" on the side, plus it was a 30+ year old car whose advertisements I remember from when I was in elementary school and Fantasy Island was still on TV.
I mention the show because Montalban didn't sing the song, but he was in some of the ads, IIRC.
And it's not like I live in the freakin desert, where a car might last longer. This is the SE, with muggy air and 45 inches of rain per year. How in the hell has this car survived?!?! Even if they left it in the garage and never drove it, it should STILL be dead and rusted into a solid hulk. If I saw this on cinder blocks in a yard, I'd be amused. Actually driving? That's a miracle! Which perhaps explains the message on the side. I think if I had a functional Volare, I too would be praisin' the Lord!
FWIW, this road is the back entrance to the U medical center at which I work. So, could be some country folk on the way for some rare health care. 30 miles the other way is some serious country and poverty. There wasn't nearly as much of this kind of poverty where I grew up, and it never ceases to amaze me.
Hmm, maybe Montalban's ad was Cordoba, and he never touched Volare:
"Corinithian leather!"
No, really, it's been "Cain" ever since Deplhi - but they had a weird username != screen name thing going on, so I registered both when MoO3 moved to Atari... and used CK because it's what the MoO3ers knew me as. Once MoO3 came out and I left 3 or 4 (ish) months later, I abandoned the Kane nick for good - haven't used it in any capacity since like the first half of 2003.

Where the hell do you think he gets parts?
This gets me thinking. It's sort of stupid how car ads these days often don't include a person/spokesperson in them for fear of alienating some demographic.
I mean, plenty of ads include families and such, but it's really rare to see an ad that just has an attractive, well-dressed person getting into a car and just looking classy.
The box the SA (?) man is holding says "Free Range Jew Soap"
This was published in today's Helsingin Sanomat, the largest newspaper in the nation
Welcome to Finland!
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
What's the meaning?
Soap can be produced by saponification of animal fats.
