Here i have an original work of mastery originating from a 1985 BMW 318(e30). It was as well crafted for its time as Jeffery Dahmer was a marvel citizen. It was purchased by me in running condition with its destiny pillowing from the tailpipe. It only ran well when i drove it past a salvage yard, more than likely to prove it was still worthy of being driven, at least for the next few miles. I give it a bad rap but it was a swell car. (thats what the voices told me anyway). After a while it became a project that would drive Einstein to belive the E actually equals MC^2. (not really)... I swapped engines, spliced harnesses drank beer and cried under the hood of this thing for months. Then thought about pushing it over a cliff but scratched that when i realized the insurance was only liability. Since then it has been sitting in the yard killing grass with the occasional spider crawling on it giving the mirage that it actually harvests life. It"ll run a little when it wants too I think....
Now its a lovely yard stone that you and your family can share for years!!!!
Comes with the following:
little of nothing
little hope
a six pack
headache
bottle of aspirin in case of headache
frustration
1/4 inch craftsman rachet
lucky penny
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICY (a.k.a. title)
FRESHLY SPRAY-PAINTED STEEL WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bon Appetit!

Dear husband and I went to see "Julie and Julia" today. What a wonderful movie... though he did label it as a chick flick and rightly so, only violence in the movie was the Julia skit from Saturday Night Live and the boiling of a lobster.

I think Meryl Streep played Julia Child better than Julia Child. She makes you want to go home and debone a duck or do something in the kitchen that you haven't done before.

Julia Child found her place in food history through a series of chance happenings. Though all tied together by food, we should be thankful.

Julia and her husband had a wonderful marriage and it is summed up by his toast to her, "You are the butter to my bread and the breath to my life."

Bon Appetit! Think I'll go find a duck.
