Or maybe even The Laughing Policeman.

Ah, not one of David Bowie's finest moments, is The Laughing Gnome.

I didn't have very bright lights on my car either, even when I raised the angle to the highest, so I used the full beam a lot on country roads at night.

Ah, but Stonie, those brights are too bright, hence why I dip beam a lot in those sitations when a car is coming the other way.

Why does Barnes and Noble charge $29.99 for a movie? not a special edition movie, not a new movie, not an imported movie, just a movie? b*****ds.

Statement to Barnes and Noble:

Hello, old friend. We've had some good times, yes? Remember when I bought America: The Book for a solid $8.50? Good times. But there's something we need to talk about. You charge more for a movie than Jennifer Lopez would charge for me to plow her. Now, I would be glad to buy a movie for $10. In fact, I'll make a deal with you. I'll only buy movies from you if you promise to charge me only $10 for each on. OK, maybe $15 sometimes, but mostly $10. If I wanted to pay a crapload of money for 'Spirited Away,' I'd pay Hyayo Miyazaki to cut a new version with Porcupine Tree scoring the film. Thanks for your consideration.

Why do people put their fog lights on as soon as there is a cloud in the sky?
