...of two of my current pet peeves: cell phones (and their inconsiderate users) and SUVs. Don’t get me started on SUVs. A guy in my building owns not just a big one, but an enormous one. If he stopped there, it might be a simple case of conspicuous consumption. But no, he adds a vanity plate with his name on it, advancing thereby to the stage of rampant friggin’ narcissism!
Comments:
Now, now SUV’s have their place! Like riverbeds, and beaches.
SUVs and their place
Oh, right. Riverbeds and beaches. Maybe one out of every thousand SUVs ever sees a riverbed or beach—the rest are lifestyle statements! And odious ones at that.
SUVs and their place in the universe
Yes, a riverbed is the perfect place for an SUV….as long as there’s about 20 feet of river above the roof of the SUV. I don’t know what this would do for the reception of the cell-phone, but I am willing, with a sufficiently large amount of grant money, to start research. Oh, yeah, and the blondes…..don’t forget the blondes.
The Rainbow Road
Christmas Day, 2004.
Four wheel drive road from St Arnaud to Hanmer Springs.
No blondes, and no cellphone coverage. Don’t you wish you were there?
about "vanity plate"
dont worry, thats just a matter of time. If onces all people wear iris-projector glasses everybudy can replace unwanted content out of the view with somthing other. You can replace his name on the panel with “idiot” and he can replace advertising panel content with his face, and nobody cares .. ..
