This was taken whilst driving to work. Vegetable Revolution. (That's what the vaguely cyrillic style lettering under the star-and-lettuce-and-shovel on the door says.) The website is for self-contained, self-watering patio and trellis gardens, the truck appears to be a genuine relic (although I ain't'nt a car guy).
I feel better - this is cool.
Starting work, well...
The real question is, is it a greasecar? Did the exhaust smell like french fries?
ReplyDeleteDidn't roll down the window, it's still 30degF in the AM here.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to see the new McDonald's menu:
Fake Meat™ $1.99
Fake Meat With Chease™ $2.99
Double-Fake Meat With Chease™ $3.99
Greese™ $4.99/gal
Whatever you say, crankypants.
ReplyDelete~
Imma gonna give you such a pinch!
DeletePiffle. That's what a vehicle looks like after two winters in the heavily salted environs of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Three, tops.
ReplyDeleteI ain't'nt sure what magical unicornland county you live in, bubba, but Miny-soda hasn't used salt, or plows, for that matter, in a few years.
DeleteHey, the FIRST competition, does that cross state lines - I just read yesterday in the corp. newsmailing that we sponsored a team here that won regionals, or MN, or something.
Also, too, apparently you survived Chicago, 'kneelicker to the world' (Sandburg)?
Last year, we were on the first alliance with a rookie team from Mexico city. The year before, we had a team from Canadia and one from Israel.
DeleteAlso, too, apparently you survived Chicago,
DeleteREAL traffic, as I said.
UIC for the FIRST events, then a few blocks downtown for Pizzeria Uno. Figured Geno's would be impossible on a Friday night.
Heh. Wisconsin is into salt. That's not really news....
ReplyDeleteHeck, FIRST crosses international boundaries. We were down in shitcago to see the Midwest Regional, Young Zombie's team was in it, there were three teams from Turkey.
YZ's team was also present at the Duluth Regional a few weeks ago. The Duluth team, 2512 did really well in Chicago. Had a fine robot. Didja see a team number in your Workplace Propaganda?
And more importantly, do you want to sponsor a Milwaukee team?
DeleteTeam Number 2220, Eagan HS MN.
Deletedo you want to sponsor a Milwaukee team
Lemme ask Sweetie for teh checkbook. If I survive, mebbe. If I don't survive, tell my mother I died doing something incredibly foolish.
YOUNG ZOMBIE'S TEAM WON THE CHAIRMAN'S AWARD IN CHICAGO! THEY'RE GOING TO THE FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!
DeleteYAY DAMMIT.
DeleteI needed one bright spot today - WOOHOO YZ!
I've been to Wisconsin twice, once in summer, and once in winter. I was very surprised to see heated, enclosed, self-serve car washes being used in winter. I asked our hosts "WTF? Why do you wash your cars when it's frozen and snowy out? It's just gonna be filthy again in 5 minutes." That's when I learned they still salt the roads.
DeleteI'm assuming you continue to do this to try to help boost the sales of the American car industry.
In Oregon we instead subsidize the automotive windshield industry by liberally sprinkling gravel all over every intersection anytime there's the tiniest bit of snow or ice.
Heck, we salt in summer, just in case.
DeleteHey. Wait. Lane Price from Sterling Draper Cooper Price is actually Professor Moriarty?
ReplyDeleteOh, he's good. I did NOT see that coming.
Never had an itch to watch Mad Men, but Jim Moriarty is fuckin' badass.
DeleteI started watching it a while back, caught up on Netflix. It's a slow starter, but the story arcs end up being pretty engrossing.
ReplyDeleteKind of like TWD, in that everyone is flawed, everyone is varying degrees of assholes. Kind of like real life!
Now I've trying to catch up with a second time through, before watching the season premiere. So I am going around the the internoodle going LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU at all the Mad men threads.
