Month: August 2003

I was raring and ready to start my day today, but the BraMobile wasn't. She just didn't want to turn over. A bit of panic set in. You see, last week I went to buy a laptop. I wanted to pay for a third of it and finance the rest. Well, for a variety of […]

If you thought sand in your bra was a little uncomfortable, check out this old bra. I was more entertained by the poster's writing than the picture. Thanks Joe E.

I went to go get the postcards and the car wouldn't start. I had accidentally left the lights on for three hours. Three hours, is that all it takes? Bloody hell. So now, as if I have the spare hour, I'm going to get AAA to come give me a jump, and drive it around […]

I'm taking the Bramobile to a signmaker today to get an estimate on the stickers. But first we're going to get it’'s first wash. I'm going to a gas station in Marin, where I hope they have diesel so I can multitask. But back to the washing. You know it was spray painted, right? I […]
