Hello ROMAN. Our sensors detect a pothole FIFTEEN FEET ahead. Even the smallest pothole can cause possible wheel misalignment, so take care to steer clear. Have a great day, and enjoy the drive!

I don't know if I'll be able to rest, not knowing what the Sock Drawer and the Soap were so urgently trying to tell you. Hey, it might have been important!

You sound extremely stressed out. On another note, you drive a TACOMA?!

RomanHans said...

I believe Sock Drawer was empty, and Soap was down to a sliver. But I'll have to confirm it with them.

Here's a question for you: according to your profile, you're a construction worker in ICELAND? How's that working out?

And Anon, what's wrong with a Tacoma? It's like a starter truck for the young and very possibly manly.

Nothing wrong with a Tacoma! It's actually a very rugged/manly type of car, which is why I was so impressed. It was meant as a compliment.

RomanHans said...

Oh. Sorry, I'm a little sensitive. I spent two years driving a Honda CRX and thought I looked really sporty. Then I realized I'd never seen another male driving that make of car. . . .

So, when Soap gets down to a sliver, do its messages get shorter and shorter, its voice ever more thin and thready? And what does the Sock Drawer say when it's empty -- "FEED ME!"??

I'm only a construction worker in Iceland this week. Next week, who knows, maybe I'll be painting the toenails of exotic pet chickens in Hawaii.

I think a CRX is a really cool car (maybe I'm also under some dellusion?), but I have to ask, how did you EVER fit yourself into it?

Anonymous said...

tacomas make guys look hot.

now roman, i'm not saying you need the help of your truck to look hot... but, everytime i drive by a tacoma-driving guy i have to look twice. there's just something about them.

they're sporty and manly, yet not in-your-face like a full-fledged tundra or f-150.

ahhh... men in tacomas.

RomanHans said...

Anon, my thoughts exactly! The Tacoma is the perfect vehicle.

I liked the CRX, but the peer pressure got to me. ("That's a chick's car!") Plus, it was an effort fitting in it: I recline less on a towel at the beach. Seriously, when I turned to the side I'd be looking out the back seat window, yet my hair still grazed the roof.
