After a wreck, I had to drive my late grandmother's Chevy Caprice Classic while I waited for my car to get repaired. When we went out, my friends made me drop them off a few blocks away from the club so they wouldn't be seen getting out of it.

After one of my wrecks, I had top drive a rented bright, yellow Chevy Cobalt. Now that was a gay car!

You people scare me.

THIS is a tilde: ~

This: â is an "a" with a circonflexe. ("circumflex", for those of you who demand All English, All The Time)

This: é is an "e" with an accent aigu. ("acute accent", for same.)

Jeebus!

Hyacinth wouldn't have been caught dead in a Caprice Classic.

Oh, and speaking of Bar-fay, has anyone seen Les Misebarf yet?

okay, jaiy, now do that with a mac!

and i drove a 1973 pontiac catalina in 1989. it was as big as a boat and the boat needed to be warmed up all year long. it could be 100 degrees outside and i needed to warm it up.

on the plus side, it could fit about 10 people inside, and that was just the front seat alone.

But she would if you called it a Capricé Classique. (pronounced "cap-ree-SAY class-EEK-ah", of course)

I was just born this way, Taz, baby. I can be overbearing, obnoxious and pedantic in THREE languages, and still keep my hair looking shiny and my skin dewy.

The mind fairly boggles.

For a Mac:

l'accent aigu option/alt + e, then the letter
l'accent grave option/alt + the tilde (~) key, then the letter
l'accent circonflexe option/alt + I key, then the letter
le tréma (or "umlaut) option/alt + the U key, then the letter
le cédille option/alt + C key

J'adore l'accent grave!

Final marathon update: my cousin finished in 4 hr. 16 minutes. I figured she'd make it under 5h, but not by that much. Those pesky Kenyans swept the men's race as usual. Yay!

I adore accenting graves.

I find that white roses and lilies give an appropriately funereal yet respectful ambiance to the remains of those buried below, to fester in the earth for all eternity.

Make sure you remove the stamens from the lilies first, though. Wouldn't want to sully the dead with pollen and it's a thoughtful touch for mourners with allergies.

But oh! how it's golden goodness catches the light!

What's a sniffle or two when paying respects to those who are decomposing and mingling their putrescent juices with the roots and worms?

Lord, the poetry of it all just brings a tear to the eye!

Btw, RobbO, if you look back over the last thirty pages or so, you'll see that it's not the front seats we're interested in, it's the back.

And thanks, Taz, that one was only partially intended for Dark Humour, but what the hell, go for it if you really want to.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
