This is another in-tack structure.....like the Parthenon.

Do they mean the Parthenon is tacky? What do tacks have to do with the Parthenon? Note that they even took the time and effort to hyphenate the "word."

I like the little quips. Keep those coming!


What I find "bazaar" is when someone starts a thread with What is your favorite candy bar? Someone posts "I don't like candy bars."

What is your favorite all time movie? Oh, I never go to movies. I wait until it comes out in video. I mean why pay $ blah, blah, blah.

A man posted the following tale of woe in the Car Talk forum:

"I took it in to a mechanics shop that I new...He said it was very dirty and gross in side my block and other placed...Normally it would jolt forward because it had a quick acceleration and I learned to control it well but now it has a fixes slow start no matter how hard or far I push down on the gas? Its alot easier and smother to change gears because before I would seem my passengers gerk when I changed geara but I did see them do it this time...It felt like a sport car before and now it feels like it drives like I'm a old nerves lady. Does any one now or get what could be happening?"

I visualize vintage 2009 whine: are we there yet?

Is there room for a magnum of temper tantrums?

I had to laugh at the visual on this one. I can't imagine a mechanic throwing his hands up and going "Ewwww, this car engine is all dirty and gross!"

Two years ago, I received an official form from my town's public works department. In somewhat prominent places the word PERMANATLY is printed. Farther down on the paper is: PERMANANT. Following my typical behavior when I sent in the filled out form, I corrected the misspelled words. There is no way my red marks could be missed. In today's mail, I see nothing has changed. The department must have had a huge number of copies available and didn't want them to go to waste since the old way is still in use.
