    I'm frightfully glad I wasn't drinking a beverage when I read your post, or all of it would have summarily exited through my nasal passage. Bravo! That's the first open guffaw I've had on /. all week.

    Now if only I had mod points to give...

    Heh, you got that right. Thankfully winter here has been a mild one, because everytime the road ices up, I find it hard to resist drifting around the corners like I was doing a Kudos challenge in Project Gotham Racing. I can practically see the meter racking up Kudos as I slide through the corner just barely in control.


    When my father was in town visiting for my birthday, I asked him if he ever had the same urges, especially because he used to be a race car driver and he also plays some racing games on his PC. He looked at me like I was nuts and threatened (jokingly, but still!) to call up my insurance agent.
