    Some say, he calls cattle by thinking "Oy" at them....

    Some say, his Silverado is a Holden...

    Some say his cruises down Congress always result in another kind of congress.

    Some say his horn plays The Sky Is Crying.

    Some say his used oil is the secret ingredient in Stubb's barbecue sauce.

    Some say he singlehandedly keeps Austin weird.

    I have a kid who, while very young, developed a very regular #2 habit: Wednesday evenings. Nursed babies don't mess quite so much as bottlefed, though there are the usual number of wet diapers to deal with. But the narstier ones, not so much. Thus, the once-a-week schedule. And it was fantastic. Nothing can top having a kid who you know will not utterly ruin your trip to the park with a Superfund site in his britches.

    Until he skipped a Wednesday. Then he'd gone over ten days. Then we're closing in on two weeks He's starting to get uncharacteristically cranky and fussy. We knuckle under and call Ask-A-Nurse. She says give the kid some castor oil and everything should be fine, some babies just get a little anal retentive - literally. She's never actually seen a once-a-week kid but doesn't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility, and other long-interval kids sometimes get this retention thing going, so do the castor oil and see what happens.

    We did the castor oil.

    About an hour later there was this...sound. And the kid's face suddenly got really horrified and relieved and inside the diaper was Mt. Vepoopius, a mountain of poo like you've never seen unless you own a Saint Bernard. We changed him on a big sheet of newspaper opened up, and some still got away. We blamed that spot on the cat, but we knew. So did the cat.

    What's this got to do with cars? Not a damn thing. #adwatch

    In reply to Holden Commodore Gets Airborne, Lands On Sydney House

    Commodore drivers are gaining (if not gained) a reputation for being hoons in Oz and NZ.

    I'm not deriding all Commodore drivers, the hoon ones are easy to spot...

    -Mostly 88' to 97' vintage (VN - VX)
    -5 Litre V8 (sometimes 3.8L Buick V6 if 'P' plater)
    -Typical mods like paint-tin sized exhaust tip, darker than legal tint, ill-fitting body cladding.
    -Jim Beam or Jack Daniels sticker on rear window. #australia

    @LandofMinos, is punching Prius people for pleasure: You forgot several important details :
    -dodgy HSV sticker somewhere, possibly even an attempt to be fake HSV
    - oversized girlfriend with muffin-top hanging over jeans texting on pink phone
    - drivers seat reclined to touch rear seat
    - obligatory lighting up of inside rear wheel at all turns, intersections, traffic lights, roundabouts, McDonalds drive-thru, etc. Not difficult with 185 series tyres, open diff and live axle.
    - one rim replaced with spare tyre due to ill-judged drifting accident #australia

    @brc is never late, because of his v8: Your last two points reminded me of when I was out at Penrith visiting a friend one evening years ago. We heard the distinct noise of a V8 revving up, spinning tyres and then a weird crack.

    We went outside and as was met by the sight of a maroon VP SS sitting at an odd angle over the gutter in front of my friends house. It's rear driver-side wheel collapsed almost under the car.

    We could tell what happened from the fish-tailing black marks on the road from the car back to a roundabout 100 metres (330ft) away. The P plater (back when P platers could drive V8's) had exited the roundabout, sunk his right boot and we guess was unprepared for the instant torque those old 5.0L Holden motors produced and ended up fish tailing sideways into the gutter back wheel first.

    The rozzers turned up not long after that and wrote the idiot kid a couple of tickets. #australia

    Would it have landed on its left side, had this happened in the Northern Hemisphere? #australia

    @Murilee Martin: No. In the Northern Hemisphere, objects moving across or above the surface of the Earth tend to turn to the right because of the Coriolis effect. So, the vehicle would land on its right side.

    Is this a contest? #australia

    This reminds me of a wreck a couple years ago that ended with a Chevy Silverado plowing into the side of my buddy's house about 10 ft. from the ground. He lives along a main road with a posted speed of 45MPH. Around 2:00AM one morning a fine young chap with a BAC of .24 was cruising along at triple digit speeds with his girlfriend and another dude in the cab with him and another girl and dude in the bed. He crested a minor rise in the road which apparently unsettled the truck just enough that he veered off to the left just at the point the guardrail was tapered making it a perfect ramp. The truck hit the rail and flew a considerable distance (150 ft. if memory serves) and rotated before nailing the side of the house and falling to the ground on its roof. The folks that were in the bed were found on the back porch roof and in the yard on the opposite side of the house. The folks in the cab were all unrestrained. Naturally, the only survivor was the driver. Darwin must have been busy that night. #australia
