regarding #4, what car are you getting?

[superhappytime]

Prius. I want an eco-friendly status symbol that will appeal to liberal guilt. I will then take lots of pictures of it to post on my facebook and G+

i would never date you. prius drivers as assholes. it's like prius is the new BMW.

But Larry David drives a Prius. And nobody would ever call him am asshole, right?

I think you have your asshole list wrong anyway. It goes like this:

- Hummer
- any luxury SUV
- any European car over 60k
- any Asian SUV
- any mega American SUV
- Infiniti
- BMW

Probably screwed up not having American luxury cars in their, but they aren't so much for d-bags as they are for old, uptight Republicans.

I use a variation of that quote all the time (it explains my work situation perfectly) but never had the correct attribution - thanks for that.

I've been intrigued by your dating posts, I think there's a lot of wisdom in these.

I don't know if "wisdom" is the right word...but thanks.
