Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like tomorrow should be the first day of school, but I realize my thinking is 20+ years old. In My Day, we started the Thursday after Labor Day!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uphill both ways in the snow, right?

Absolutely. Why, I remember back in dickey-two, it snowed on both the first AND the last days of school!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Does anyone have experience owning Volvos? I have my eye on a Volvo wagon that I have always wanted. Any advice? It's a 1996.

My boss loves old Volvo wagons. He has a 1996 and he does all the repairs himself.

How much are they asking? He's on the phone right now but I'll talk to him when he gets off (not in that way).

Art Crawl!!!

We had Volvos when I was a child. (My dad bought a volvo when he was in the army and stationed in Germany - but he had to leave it there when he got out.)

Back then they were pretty unusual - and then later they became the young academic's car of choice. But I believe that they already had a reputation for safety and reliability and I don't recall anything majorly wrong with our old cars.

I have no experience with contemporary Volvos.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Aims, our family car is Volvo 240 from '83 which my dad adores and spent the last 10 years improving and maintaining it. I'm almost sure he'll be able to answer some questions, but he's asleep now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I had a Volvo sedan for a while. It was a great car with an engine even I could work on.
