So now that we've covered how much I hate it when people cut in line, I'll get to the subject at hand.
I commute each day into work, and it takes slightly longer than half an hour each way. That being said, I see lots of different people driving around town. Granted I do commute to work each day in Oregon, where the best drivers in the country reside. Still, idiots are everywhere.
So when I see the lady from White Van Shuttle going about 65 in a 30 zone weaving in and out of traffic, I wonder if she's really doing her company a service. (this happened yesterday) I know that if I ever need to get to my hotel incredibly fast and haven't gone on a roller-coaster recently, they'd be my best bet.
The real question I have is about the people who have bumper stickers, emblems, or other stuff on their cars. If you see someone with an Obama 08 sticker on their car and they cut you off, do you vote for Hillary? Or what about the people with the Jesus fish? They're doing stupid stuff all the time on the road, but I notice it probably because they're the most common of all car decorations. Isn't that unfair to the rest of the flock, if not Jesus himself? Shouldn't there be some roving Jesus fish wardens who can taketh away from the idiot who always drives up to the front of the on-ramp and swerves in front of the 55 of us who have been waiting to get on I-205?
I expect that type of behavior from the guy with the "Lost your cat? Try checking under my tires" sticker (or the Wal-Mart driver), but not from the van filled with Code Pink protesters.
I fear the day when the cereal and cookies truck with the wikipedia bumper sticker cuts me off. I'll starve to death both intellectually and physically.

Nice Drum Solo, Mr. Furher
Listening to Don & Mike last night I heard the lovely folks from Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church will protest at Heath Ledger’s funeral (guess why). Bile rising, I wondered: “Is there anything I could agree with him on? Other than the value of a good comb over and (possibly) simple arithmatic?
The next, (hopefully) more interesting question: If you could sit down and have a conversation with some of history’s great monsters, are there topics on which you could reach a meeting of the minds? Did Stalin like baseball? Could Pol Pot extemporize on economics? Given the opportunity, would Hitler throw down on Guitar Hero [Insert “99 Red Balloons” or “This rock will last 1,000 years!” joke here).
The best Wikipedia reference posted in the comments by Friday, February 1 will receive $3 from me via Paypal. Entries along the lines of “we both like expensive cars” or “I wish I had a harem” will be read with interest, but probably not rewarded. References to obscure, especially nasty fellows will receive extra points in my (entirely arbitrary) rating system.

Krumping: Dance moves I should learn for my wedding?
Google Trends has recently alerted me to a relatively new form of dance:
Krumping
What is Krumping? It all depends on who you ask....
Wikipedia:
"Krumping is a relatively new form of dance within the "urban" and street dance movements, and is characterized by free, expressive and highly energetic moves. The form is attributed as having originated in the community of South Los Angeles."
UrbanDictionary.com:
"A positive outlet for anger, a way of spiritual dancing and praise,a popular and fast growing style of hip-hop dance. It originated in the African-American community of South Central Los Angeles, California. It is free, expressive, and highly energetic, and is the newest form of the "Urban" Black dance movement."
A few facts about Krumping:
Getting "Buck" is the latest form of Krumping. It is more difficult than other styles. There are about a dozen different ways to grade Krumping. Groups of Krump dancers are called "fams" or "families".
Here's some Krump slang for you (thanks to Wikipedia):
- Kill off: To be beaten, or another name for a trick move
- Kill off crucially: To be beaten badly
- Buck: Used to describe something cool or someone good at krumping
- Amped: Used to describe a person who's really into the spirit of krump
- Krump groupie: Used to describe people who follow krumpers but don't krump or are unknown to the krump world

Enjoy a clip of some dude Krumping:
So, on second thought, probably not an appropriate style of dance for my wedding....
