Green skin
Posted by: ryno in Humour, cars, crazy people, humor, hybrid cars, people-watching, satire, snarkA big “G’day” to the person who was travelling over the speed limit, westward on one of the main arterials in Toowoomba about sunset on Sunday. You were hard to notice because your headlights weren’t on, but your parking-lights were at least in constant motion (with the rest of the car) from lane to lane as you zipped in and out of other traffic.
It was only a passing acquaintance; just long enough to notice you had no front number plate, that you appeared to be a woman, and that there may have been a baby capsule in the rear of your car. (As I said, the sun was below the horizon, {meaning your damn headlights should have been on}, and it was hard to see much inside as you zipped round us.)
The irony of your sole numberplate (the personalised one that proclaimed your love of Earth, and presumably its environment) wasn’t lost on us. We chuckled as you zoomed past, knowing that your car was expending energy just so you could go that bit faster than everybody else.
By the way, you ought to see what Clarkson says about your car!
Anyway, O Friend Of Earth, this one’s for you…
I mean, think about the physics of it all. You were still wasting energy like there was no tomorrow: the acceleration has to come from somewhere, mungbean!

Ha! I’ve been talking about Pious Prius drivers for months - still crazy (or at least tuned in) after all these years?
I have to make big efforts to remember to visit Ryno from time to time - what exactly is wrong with Facebook? It would be a far better, and more widely received, outlet for you and will keep me up to date without the effort.
Don’t go all Humbug, Personal Details, They’ll Rip Off My Identity on me (although I would like to know your reasons for resisting). Too mainstream and someone might mistake you as part of the human race?

Beako, he say: (among other things) what exactly is wrong with Facebook?
My domain. Bilonga me. My pink half of the drainpipe and what ho. I like it here.
Reasons for no Facebook (part three):
1. Don’t get me started on M$oft and its damned products, what with the scripts, cookies, pissweak compatibility with Firefox….
2. …and then add the nightmare of getting anything M$oftish in a website to behave predictably with Linux.
3. Farceboak is all about social networking. What the hell would I be doing there? If Farceboak is Victoria Bitter, I’m the oddly-shaped miniature of celery-flavoured schnapps on the top shelf of the bar, far left-hand corner. Not to everybody’s taste, me.
4. Farceboak has funny ideas about owning stuff published there, and about reproduction rights. If I say “Creative Commons”, it’s a lot more polite-sounding than “Screw Farceboak”.
5. As you well know, I am Difficult. So There.
