Got my oil changed and they found fishing wire wrapped around my back tire. I didn't know checking the tires was part of an oil change. Apparently it didn't affect the axle. Best part was when the guy asked me if my car was 6 or 8 cylinders, I just looked at him blankly. *blink blink*

Got I.D.'d again. You may not know how amazing this is. I'm old.

Got my passport photo taken, and all I am saying is if I go missing don't use that picture to look for me or I will hide after I break away from the terrorists that stole me.

Got a job writing freelance for a magazine. Well not really a job because that would pay money. But they print it and I had to send them my resume and everything so that's kinda cool. And being cool is much better than money. *blink blink*

OMG that's so cool about the freelance writing! Freakin happy for you!

Gal, I have no idea about oil changes. I mentioned at the office that I have no idea how to change a tire & they looked at me like I was an alien.

I never get ID'd anymore. Hmpf.

I want to get a job writing freelance for a magazine. It's cool that you're getting published. But I disagree with the money part. It's even cooler to get published and get paid for it, too.

by the way, changing the oil in a car is no big deal at all. You pull a plug, let the oil drop into a big pan, you put the plug back in, unscrew a filter, screw a new one back in, then fill it all back up again with new oil.

Checking the rear axle probably only happened because the guy liked looking at you.

Wait...you meant the rear axle of your car, didn't you. Sorry.

tires dont make very good bait for fishing.

WOW, you're becoming a real celebrity. First the Blog recognition, now the writing. Just don't forget us little people when you're on top.

~~~chuckle~~~ I said 'you're on top' ~~~

Michael said...

I just realized how old you are. Old enough to be flattered that they asked for ID, but not old enough to call yourself old. Next you'll be trying to tell us your fat or some such nonsense.

I have to agree with r/r, you look mid-twenties. Don't worry about the passport photo. I think everyone looks different in those. I look completely different in mine too, well actually I look stoned. My eyes are all blood shoot and I have this blank look on my face.

So let me get this straight, ALL guys know how many cylinders are in their cars?

I could care less how many cylinders are in my car. What would that knowledge do for me? Lower my car payments? Get me a job as a mechanic? Don't care. It's not stereotypical Diva.

Binsk! That's great about the new job! I think that's awesome! I'm sure it'll be a great experience and you know, I find that one thing always leads to another....ya know? :)

Some Random Girl said...

Wow! I'm jealous....wish I could write for a mag! Congrats on the ID! makes you feel good huh?

Always know about your cars engine....it makes you sound tomboyish and smart....I learned that a long time ago. At least if it's a V6 or V8 or a 450 big block....see...don't I already sound smarter? I learned to change my oil a long time ago (not that I do) but I learned....AND I learned the hard way where the oil goes.

Leesa said...

You are very cool :)
I still get carded too sometimes...and I'm also :P

getting id'd makes me laugh, I'm old too, gotta love it

Joe said...

Don't you know that the 6 or 8 cylinder thing is a mechanic pick up line?

Congrats on the freelance gig.

Oh, and from what I've seen thus far, there's no such thing as a bad picture of you, Binsk.

I didn't know completely dismantling a transmission and throwing the pile of parts onto a table was part of having your front and rear seals replaced, but the crooks at a certain Ammco Transmission on Bob Wallace Avenue in Huntsville, Alabama seem to think it is. The owner lives on Versailles and his daughter drives a red Chevy II, in case you were curious and wanted to call him up and shout, "mother fucker!"

Any mechanic who can't figure out if your car has 6 or 8 cylinders doesn't need to be touching your car. Trust me on this one.

I got ID'd two weeks ago. But this past weekend I didn't. Apparently I got a lot older in 7 days. Dammit.

Congrats on the writing gig. I envy you.
