I was driving through my neighborhood in my A6 and lightning struck a tree about 20 feet in front of me. I bet the Miata would have rattled apart if I was in it.

Breakfast of Champions
I'm just giving you a hard time. There are days I really miss smoking.
I once had a very old gentleman (ancient actually) tell me in a bar as we're watching a pretty good Beatles cover band "Don't drink, don't smoke, eat healthy...and live a LONG and BORING life."
Doesn't always apply, and there are lots of facets to the argument, but it's a decent, simple justification for many of our vices. If you don't actually get enjoyment, or aren't able to see benefit from healthy living, then just live, and expect to pay for it.

Actually, the small one only has 450, or just a tad more than a pack of PopTarts...or twice as much as some of those Jumex drinks (some of which have nearly 50g of sugar in a single can...

I need to get into some kinda shape...sitting on my *** at a desk job is killing my motivation....but using the stairs to hike my *** up to the 10th floor (200 stairs) should start doing something for me.

It's a rare morning when I have breakfast. Today it was a banana and a Fanta strawberry (this can will last me about 4 hours as I sip on it..not chug it). Only smoke 4 cigs yesterday...which is my average...sometimes it goes up to 6 or 7 if I am hanging out with friends or drinking.

I guess that's not a huge statement though...

I've always wondered about those commercials. So how long do you have to workout exactly? As in number of months. Some of those guys go from being 250 with the muscle mass of someone who is 120 to a lean 190 by working out for just 20 minutes a day, three times a week. I call bullshit.

Just to follow up, I can now confirm that a flat-head screwdriver is all that's necessary to bust open the locking gas flap on a 1st gen Tacoma.
Dammit.
Stopped to put gas in the Tacoma on the way home...and discover that I can't unlock the gas flap. Lock won't turn, and I don't want to snap my ignition key 2 miles from home.
Drive home, nearly on empty. Try my wife's key that we had made right after I bought the truck a few months ago, still no luck. Sprayed the help out of the lock with that white graphite stuff, still nothing.
I'm about 10 minutes away from crowbarring that sonovabitch open and replacing the lock mechanism with a bigass magnet to keep the door closed (improves fuel mileage and cures arthritis too).
