"Bambi Meets Godzilla" comes to mind, too. Although I managed to void every computer warranty by an insatiable urge to 'open the box', even those Steve-Jobs-case-cracker original mid-eighties Macs, in Leicadom, tidying the prism in an Imarect is the limit of my disassembly curiosity in my AARP years. The 'Buy-it-Now' price is more than I spent buying my wee house. Sounds like Hermes Reflux to me. Only your doctor (Ka-ching) can diagnose if you have Hermes Reflux disease (Ka-ching). Yeah, I'm the guy who noticed being fed feet first into the CT-scan machine last week was a crass marketing ploy. One went head first into the Guillotine. My trusty Metro burned an exhaust valve last week. Visions of blue- smoke spewing melamine-bodied Trabants six time zones ahead. This is the little car that triples in value when the Domke lays on the passenger seat. There's a price to forty-something MPG. Found another car. Am I really old enough to buy a Buick? Pass the Sustical and Jack Daniels, please.
