The Frankfurt Auto Show, one of the large auto shows of the year, is happening now and this is my hub to information. The Audi Le Mans is very nice. I like how they smoothed out the new Subaru Legacy. The Mercedes SLR’s body is way too busy and complicated. Toyota’s CS&S looks somewhat interesting. The VW Concept R is quite a pleasant surprise. The BMW 645Ci is definitely my favorite, though. See anything you like?

I’m going to Tower Records more and more on Tuesdays now. So let’s just run down the list real quick. 24: Season Two, Family Guy: Volume 2, and Igby Goes Down as far as movies go. Then there’s John Mayer’s new album, Heavier Things. Alright, time to get back to Igby.

So I was checking out some Presidential weblogs using this directory and now I have a question. Why is it that none of the posts on those blogs are actually done by the person they’re representing? Maybe I should get all of you to post on my site and talk about how cool I am so I never have to waste my time doing it.

What is the difference between the Chicago Bears and a dollar bill?… You can get 4 quarters out of a dollar bill.

Put some good ones in the comments.

I think it finally happened. After 196,000 miles, I think the Acura is finally ready to die. It’s on serious life support right now. Driving home from work and stuck in street traffic, I hear a poof and a large amount of smoke begins to pour from the engine compartment. Luckily I was able to turn off the main street and pull over. I turn it off, open the hood, and all you can see inside is coolant everywhere. I mean everywhere. So I’m thinking one of three things. (1) A hose busted somewhere and sprayed coolant out causing the car to overheat. This would definitely be best case scenario, although least likely. (2) The radiator cracked and sprayed coolant out causing the car to overheat. Definitely worse, but really not that bad. (3) The headers and gasket cracked spraying coolant out causing the car to overheat. This would definitely be worst case scenario and mostly like to occur. If it’s the case, Acura is going to automobile heaven where cars frolic on fields of asphalt and dirt with other cars. Thank the maker I have a couple other cars. Until I can get a better read on it, the Acura sits patiently in my parent’s driveway.

Oh one other interesting thing did happen, though. The tow truck driver was pretty damn cool. Very red, but cool. To my pleasant surprise, when I got inside the truck I was greeted by one cute blonde. (cha-ching!) Naturally, I thought it was the driver’s wife or girlfriend or something. He yell over to us from outside, “Don’t worry. She don’t bite.” I ask her if that’s true and all I get is a, “Well…”. (cha-ching again!) She was also pretty red. So I’m talking to them both on the way back and I find out she’s the driver’s sister and he’s married. Not to her! They weren’t that red you sick bastards! So we get to the place and why he’s taking the car down I go back and get her number. (triple cha-ching!) Probably wont call it because, well, because. Still, it was interesting enough to write here I guess. Her name was Shannon.

Pray for Acura. Good luck to us all…

And it might start with California.

BBC: “The 26-year-old Democrat with ‘brains, beauty, and leadership’ has joined the race to be the new governor in a crucial recall election… She studied computer science, became a software engineer and helped found a start-up which used the open source Linux operating system as its backbone… Politics may not seem like a natural step, but her motivation to run in the election is reflected in her attitude to technology.”

The only thing smaller than Testaverde’s 3rd-down conversion percentage tonight was Britney Spears’ shorts. Mmm hmm.

Just a friendly reminder. There is still a little time left to sign up for our NFL Pick’em 2003 season. We’re about 11 strong right now. Also for the people in the group, remember to do your picks very soon. The season opener is tomorrow night and you have up until 5 minutes before every game to pick before it automatically doesn’t count!

Go Bears, Bills, and Bengals!

If you loved the original Al Dance, you’ll love Al Dance revisited. Sorry. I still can’t figure out what he’s doing.
