LONG LIVE RED CHINA (Would you like your troll mein with soft or crispy noodles?)

China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

You are just too funny!

I think it depends on what part of the country one lives in. In the west, where trucks (and sometimes cars) are "workhorses," most of them are standard. And a lot of the ranch vehicles are diesel. I'm sure in areas where power isn't needed, automatics are more common.

This is a pretty big country, Irish. And not all of it is "city."

The Toyota Celica I had was a 5-speed.

Welcome to the Undead Thread! It's good to see you here!

Come back often, please! ;o]

[stephenjohnbanker]

They generally key cars they could never own.

You are just too funny!

I know, it gets me into trouble a lot....

[Darksheare]

Nope, just slipped it under the wiper blade.

[Monkey Face]

That would have been nice, but the Celica was even older and uglier than my truck...it was a '79...and all the plastics inside had rotted from the desert heat...not a pretty sight...;o]

[Darksheare]

I'd have loved to have been there when she figured it out.

One of those "OMG I just did something extremely stupid, how can I cover it up?" moments..

[Monkey Face]

Yah...I think the jealousy factor has a lot to do with it.

[Darksheare]

I dated a girl who told me, after kissing me rather forcefully and lustily, that I was more like a brother to her.


(And as if that wasn't bad enough, she saw stapleguns and pain as foreplay.)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I can imagine that automatics are more suited for the cities, that's prob where I got that notion from - Irish people coming home from Boston and New York all speak of driving automatics.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

So it wasn't her.

[Monkey Face]

Can you imagine how surprised her "boyfriend" was when he realized that she she had wonked herself out by "getting back" at a stranger? That would have been priceless, I'm sure! He's probably still laughing...

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I see, thanks.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

not yet...hit me yesterday during mass and afterwards at a friend's house...ran fever all night. Yuck. My FR time is mostly flyby stuff...

[Monkey Face]

Oh. THAT. Well, car rental agencies ALWAYS give automatics to "foreigners." They suck up more gas at the lights and in traffic jams.

[Monkey Face]

Awww....*hugs*

[stephenjohnbanker]

I had a first date with a shy demure acting chick who clamped her teeth on my thigh, and wouldn't let go. I had to pound on her head to get her off me.

[Darksheare]

Thankfully not.

Miss Staplegun 1993 has been strangely absent for many years.
I used to hear reports of her from her sister, but she too has vanished.
