I'll name him/her "Peeve".

Until it humps your leg, then it's Perve.

I hope that is only a strange kind of humor. Otherwise, sick.

You don't like my pet peeve?

WE used to go down by the river and shoot feral peeves. They tear up the banks and such.
They are an invasive species, nasty bastards. I think they came here in the 80's on cargo ships from Peevestonia.

You can get pregnant on a toilet seat.

Some people only want to have one vehicle. Why pay double insurance, double upkeep and maintenance? Now, if ONE of their needs requires power, the one vehicle they need to own might be a full size truck. Would you agree?

Good point Larry, At one time I wanted to get rid of everything and only drive one nice pickup.But It all depends on lots of things. I need a truck but not often. I need a rice burner...OFTEN. And my minivan I must admit, not too often but it is handy

But as far as double the insurance? That not the way the rates work. We insure 5 cars and I think it's $120 a month.

One huge drawback is the cost to get new stickers every two years.

Yeah, for a person with a boat or trailer, the rest of you use that big truck to make up for your lack of social skills. Still, once a year you actually get to haul a refrigerator to your new ladyfriend's house, don't get laid, but feel it was worth a try so you keep the truck to try again.

That things like kim kardashian, grieving her dead cat, are all o ver the headlines.
Why? Does anyone really care? What does this woman do, anyway?

Why is the national news just like the national Enquirer anymore? And what do they (tabloids) do for news now?

Turning on the morning news/talk shows and having to hear/see Kate Middleton.
What she does, who she sees, what she wears, her hair style, the wedding, the pregnancy... I. Don't. Care. Dry

I know who Kim Kardashian is and I still don't know why.
I hate it when that happens.
