Hounding After Hours

DAMMIT! That's what I'm missing. A PBR.


Hopefully I get to go back inside soon, though. It's getting cold. And dark.

I can swing by and pick you up, if you'd like.

Hmmm. Never seen it. It wasn't about an OBGYN, was it?

Yeah, something like that... :O

Just got off of work.

I'm good...catching up on Dexter episodes

Hey Night!

And awesome van Ted. I love your backwards "R" I'm sure it pulls all the kiddies in making them think you work for Toy's R Us.

Would you like some candy?

I'm good thanks though! Uh... dont want any cavities....

puppies, perhaps?

What kind of puppies are we talking about... and are there kittens involved too?

You are going to have to find new people to try that on, Ted. You know we don't fall for that.

mmm...candy!

Night, my dear....everybody loves candy and everybody loves Teddy Bears. And who can say "no" to a puppy with long, floppy ears?

That zombie van is almost as awesome as the Mystery Machine that is driving around the Seattle area!

That would only be cool if Daphne was inside with her miniskirt and tight sweater. Velma played for the other team. But Scooby Snacks? Zoiks!

Oh--It's here? Where? My kids would just die.

Actually, now that you mention it it seems to me we saw it a few years back, parked somewhere between South Lake Union and Lower Queen Anne, but I can't remember.

It was one of those: did we just see what we think we saw? moments.

There's a car here painted in the Mystery Machine colors.


It's... kind of hideous, actually.

I live in a land of monotony - trucks, suv's, and those crossover/station wagon/minivan things - mostly in white, silver, or bronzy golds.

When I had to park my firebird for a blown headgasket/cracked block a few years ago and had to start driving the big, black, blends-in-with-all-the-others Tahoe, a mom at our old school said to me "Well, thank heaven. This is so much nicer than that car of yours."

That "car of mine" may be old (1995) but it is without dings and is still its shiny blue/green chameleon colors (shifts between blue, green, and purple depending on the light). But it didn't conform - was the only vehicle with two doors in the parking lot most afternoons.

Oh--we have one of those cars in my neighborhood. They're like...Hypercolor. Remember Hypercolor apparel?

Vaguely.

It reminds of a mood ring actually.

Our truck - the 2001 we just bought - has a pearl-based paint too. We've caught it shifting colors depending on time of day - from a rosy burgandy to a raspberry red to a gold-hued in-between red under street lights.

It sounds like it's misbehaving.

Well, you never know what you're really getting with a second-hand vehicle...

As much as it pains me to admit this...


Yes, yes I do.

I'd have run her over.

And I'd have cheerfully bailed you out.

That mom sounds jealous because everybody knows that it's the mom in the sportier cars that gets the attention. And if you can burn rubber someplace that will seal your rep for ever.
