Hungry? Kobe beef is a great source of protein, and caviar is both an aphrodisiac and hangover remedy. Need transportation? You can get there much more safely in a chauffeured town car as you could via the subway.

Life is pretty great when you're the center of the universe.
Just sayin'.

Ideally, this would put the person in your shoes... given enough thought, they'd come to the conclusion that "No" is the logical answer.


]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/80526 My first job: Perfectionist 2009-12-17T14:49:19-06:00 How could the government take so much out of my check? To a 16 year-old it didn't seem at all fair. Babysitting for cash (my first understanding of the true significance of "under-the-table") was immediately more attractive than my first "real job" working at a taco stand.

I got more pimples that summer than I had in my entire life. Eventually I was fired because of my perfectionist tendencies; I took too long to make the burritos. But really, they were GORGEOUS burritos.

I haven't worked in food service since. But even today, I appreciate a burrito with ingredients that are spread throughout the tortilla... so you don't get pockets of cheese, then beans, then sour cream.

Perfectionist me.

Also, ever since the media used it incessantly a few months ago (referring to "pork-barrel spending" and "pork-seekers" in congress) it's made me giggle.
Try saying it 10 times to yourself. I guarantee it'll make you smile. Perfect for a license plate, right?

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/35217 Where can I park my Escalade with gold rims? 2009-03-20T11:53:26-06:00 It's all in the attitude. If you're gonna play, go big or go home!


The town I live in has a hippie past with an overdeveloped focus on the politically correct. Here, the Prius outnumbers the Escalade by at least twenty to one.

I think the Escalade is an overpriced gas-guzzler and space-hog. It's way more car than anyone needs. But it takes a lot of guts to drive an Escalade in this town. People throw dirty looks & shake their heads whenever one drives by.

Sensible choice or not, drivers of the Prius seem to have the worst attitudes when they get behind the wheel. Somehow they believe that their choice in car advertises their care for the environment which thereby cancels out the bad karma they get for cutting that guy off in traffic, or accidentally almost backing into me as I walk to work.

Yeah. I walk to work.

Ultimately, the way things are going with climate change, driving any car can be considered indulgent.

Gold rims rock, though, especially if you have a matching gold grill in your mouth.

There were about 20 of us on the street corner with signs that said "Never Again!" and "Remember the Children" and "Suffering Isn't Funny".

Some people didn't catch on, some people got it right away. Many drove by twice.

I spent the night crying at my best friend's house as she was throwing a party. I stayed over & slept in her daughter's bed.
