I don't think #10 is correct. The way I remember it, theadvancedapes requested the feature first.

    10. Did you know that we created Discussion Via Hubski because lil was copy/pasting comments from Hubski to her blog and she requested it? -Lil rules.

Thanks for the shoutout thenewgreen:

Indeed, I rule: currently ruling over iguanas and geckos, but I came later to dvh. I believe I was preceeded by both StJohn and apes. Although I'm not sure. mk would know. It took a long time that day to do it. I hope it's easier now.

Yeah, but it makes such a better story when I mention the copy/pasta.

You may be correct, he was certainly a big, big part of the implementation, testing, design etc. They both were. If that was the case, my apologies theadvancedapesl. Also, hope you are well I know you have a crap-ton going on these days.

Life is good. Too many cats, but no complaints otherwise. Upstanding suburbanite now.

Sell-out.

I'm thinking about getting one of those bumper stickers that says "NOPE" with the Obama logo 'O' so I can blend in better with the neighbors.

HA! That's hilarious and it's the difference between an nice neighborhood in a suburb vs one in a college town. I feel like I need to get a Prius in order to "fit in" in my neighborhood. I'm not shitting you when I say that over 50% of the homes in our neighborhood have one in the driveway. There are a couple of Tesla's too. I'm inclined to buy a Hummer just to fuck with them all.

Funny, that's half the reason I have a Silverado. All the kids I used to live around hated it. Now I just fit in. It sucks. I'm considering buying a Smart for my work commute, but the wife thinks I'll look like a huge nerd.

I would like a mail truck.

Me too! Have we had this conversation before? They flip their fleets pretty often and you can get mail trucks for fucking cheap.

_refugee_  ·  3814 days ago  ·  link  ·  

We totally haven't and that's awesome. I just saw a really beat up one being driven at night the other day and I was like "Now, this would be cool." Possibly in a Bluth-ian sort of way, and I don't know if you can take them on the highway, but if I ever decide to get a second car, I think a mail truck would be just great.

If you can take an open door jeep then you can take a mail truck.

As a side note, I somehow convinced myself I didn't like s1 of AD and just yesterday started watching s2. Either it's way better or I'm an idiot.

They do look pretty goofy, I'll give her that.

Man, an elephant is the way to go. Environmentally conscious, until you start allowing the elephant to feed on the local foliage. Plus that symbolism!

lil  ·  3814 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I thought you had to have a Prius to belong to hubski. Either that or a motorcycle.

ecib  ·  3814 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Suburbanite anyway.
