Uhhmm I answered a question in history class and answered it wrong... I mean it wasn't anything we were supposed to know, it was a "What do you think this might be?" type of thing, but since I generally get everything right I was a little embarrassed. :p

My step-mom drives a 2001 Tahoe. It's in great shape considering how much she drives it. My dad is badgering her to get one of the new hybrid Tahoes, but she thinks it's a waste of money to get a new vehicle when the old one is still doing pretty well.

do you know how much "city" driving she does? unless it's a lot, she's right.
i still think the multiple displacement engine is the best thing since the overhead valve.

Hmmm well I'm not sure how much of her driving counts as city driving... We calculated her gas mileage and it came out to about 16-17 mpg, which I think is pretty good for an SUV, right?

I'm not Overdose.
Well... I didn't protect my queen twice during two chess games today, I didn't win either of them.
I stepped in gum on the seat of the floor while wearing socks, instead of taking off the socks and then putting on my shoes, I left the sock on (with the gum) and then putted on my shoe. Making a gum-shoe sandwich.
I did a few dumb moves in a game of tetris I played. I hate tetris, and it hates me.

Indeed, indeed. Standardized tests are bullshit. I should know; I'm exceptionally good at them. (1490 [old scale] on my SAT was not half bad.)
Incidentally, in the spirit of this thread, today I had to call a guy named Bryan. Problematically, I have two Bryans in my phonebook. Murphy's Law being what it is, I called the wrong one.

Mikezilla,
I do most of my photography with digital cameras now because I don't have ethe sof having to change film after just a few pictures or bringing film through xray machines when I leave or re-enter the country.
I still use my Canon EOS or Canon T90 if I want to take special pictures that I will blow up to poster size. The T90 is over 20 years old and still sells for between $300 and $400. It is probably the best SLR Canon ever made and I have all the lenses and filters for it as well as for the EOS.

I LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF THE HOUSE
So I have this pattio (I'm not sure how you spell it) and if enough snow builds up, a leak will start in the room below it. So I went out, and I closed the door behind me. Now my pattio is small, and very high up, its atleast 3 stories high and the ground below is -1 stories high. So I finished shoveling the snow off and I tried opening the door, but it was locked. I became nervous and started banging on the door. I was out there for 30 minutes, locked, and cold, I was so scared.
