Better a fine than to be towed. That’s what happened to me for my bumper reaching the curved part of the curb before it officially becomes driveway.

My friend has had his truck towed twice by the same neighbors when he was parked perfectly fine.

The worst are the neighbors who mess with your motorcycle because they don’t like them parked there. Grrr.

No sympathy. If you park in someones drive way, you deserve to be towed. No matter how far into it you are. There is an area around the drive way that you arent allowed to park on. Anyone who has lived or been to SF knows how tight these little driveways are. They’re maybe 5′ across and steep. I am glad that person got a parking ticket. You break the law, you get caught, its on you…

ok so you know when you have something stuck between your teeth and your tongue keeps going there until it’s dislodged? Well same way is the brain tongue. Imagine brain as a stadium pit. Now on the inside surface of this pit are tiny squares just like rows of sits in stadium. In the middle of pit is thin, long tongue(like frog’s tongue) so whenever you want to retrieve some info this tongue extends and makes contact with appropriate square. This contact sparks electricity and voila! info is at the tip of your tongue(pun intended) sometime this squares are rusted and enough sparks are not generated. so your tongue can retrieve only partial info. In that case brain tongue keeps making contact with that cell only and holds up your brain from doing other things.
There.
you have been fairly warned.

a friend in san francisco has had his guest’s cars towed IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by his neighbors for being an inch into the driveway. he warns them to wake up at 6 to move their cars just in case, and often they have disappeared.

Dunno but I bet it’d look fine in my inbox.

If the boar is too large to flip, there is only one option left.

9834.

Good look, and God speed.

With boars (which are really just male warthogs) you have to be more assertive. Find a place to set your drink down. Then look directly into the boar’s eyes.

Quickly grab the boar by his tusks, thrusting your left leg so that it extends along the boar’s right flank. As if you’re making a hair pin turn in a speeding dumptruck, crank the boar’s horns sharply to the right. As you flip its bodyover your extended leg, make sure it lands its back, and then keep the tusks pinned to the floor.

From here, it’s simply a matter of positioning yourself so that you can amass maximum force when you inflict your double-kneed cannon ball onto its belly.

Winded and humiliated, the boar will feign unconciousness, allowing you to casually pick up your drink and find others with whom to mingle.

If you’re ever cornered by a bore at a party, just stare at his chin.

I wish I could train myself to look at people blankly whenever I wanted.

It’s the all-purpose flour of expressions.

Well played.

At a place where I used to work, I once replied to a co-worker’s remark about a vampire movie by saying, “Of course, you’re speaking in a jocular vein.”
She looked at me blankly, and then said, “The term is jugular vein.”

I changed jobs as quickly as possible.

Could have been worse.

Besides, those folds, that dust and those two inches were “fucking delicious”!
