Adventures with Maryn

Ugly Car

I got the chance to see one of the new 4 door Jeep Wranglers up close and personal the other day… and I can sum it up in one word:

UGLY!

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, they took their ‘unlimited’ body style (which was a slightly stretched 2 door Wrangler) and stretched it some more, and then stretched it a little more. The end result looks like a cheap Hummer wannabe. Seriously, this car is so ugly, I don’t think I’d drive it if someone gave me one! If you haven’t seen one yet here’s a pic:

I can’t really imagine that a lot of people were going into Jeep dealerships saying “Gee.. I was about to buy a wrangler, but just realized that its only got 2 doors, just like it has for the last 50 years, so I guess I won’t buy one”

I mean seriously, if you were looking for a 4 door SUV or family car, why would you even consider a Wrangler in the first place?? If you want a Jeep, you’ve got lots of 4 door models to pick from: Compass, Liberty, Grand Cherokee, Commander, and the new Patriot.

I think this 4 door Wrangler will be a short lived design, I can’t see it selling lots… I think Jeep would have been better off leaving the Wrangler alone, and giving us a Hybrid version of the Liberty or Commander instead.

And don’t think I’m a Jeep hater.. I drive a “real” Wrangler, but not one of these ugly ass Hummer Wannabes..

Organized Orgasm

in what has to be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while… some hippie in San Francisco wants everyone who gets laid on December 22nd, to think of world peace when they orgasm.

Yeah..right.. because thats what people are thinking about at that exact moment in time…

Truth vs Fiction

You can’t make this stuff up..

Imagine..sitting at home, minding your own business.. when suddenly some dude busts through your front door and starts beating you with a bat… sound like the plot for any of two or three dozen Hollywood B-movies? Well..its not..

Happened to this dude here. And it gets stranger.. after beating him with a bat.. the attacker realized he was in the wrong house..stops..and apologizes before running out..

from the article:

The attacker, described as white man in his 20s, then apologized, saying that he was at the wrong house and that he was looking for someone else.

Smack! Pow! Crunch! “Hey..by the way are you Tom?”

“Nope, name’s Jim”

“Damn.. sorry dude… wrong house.. no hard feelings?”

New Babysitter!

Silly me..every time Janice and I have wanted to go out, we’ve actually made sure we found someone to watch the kids… apparently, all we needed was a roll of duct tape..at least..according to this article, its what one lady in Florida decided would make a good babysitter…

We’ll have to try that next time we go out…
