    • A new survey suggests that fathers are better at giving driving lessons than mothers, who tend to panic, while dads just swear.


    my mom actually, to this day, pumps the brake with me in chicago traffic...on the passenger side (i'm closer to 30 than 16).

    An awesome man who was also Morgan Freeman's doppelganger taught me how to drive. He put me on the freeway my first day out and he would tell me bizarre stories about the mail-order brides he had to teach to drive quite often. He left a true lasting impression because I was terrified of learning to drive and he taught me that it ain't no thang.

    My dad taught me how to drive in a 1965 Chevy pickup that had the shift on the column instead of the floor. That sucker was built like a tank. We lived in the country and he had me drive to my grandparent's house and back down the lane through the fields before I was allowed to use the road. I was 12 - phone service was iffy on our party line and my parents decided I needed to know how to drive in case of an emergency.


    They were pretty wise about this and my dad was pretty calm, but the lane was a bad idea. The hill on that sucker was a real bitch and that was where he taught me how to use the clutch....

    the plunger: the tool of choice for broke-ass band geeks who don't want to spring for a wah-wah mute.


    sidenote: plunger/wah-wah mute on the trumpet gives "the stripper" extra sleazy goodness

    @That_little_attention_whore: The wah-wah mute is basically a plunger, isn't it? They've always looked like one to me.


    The brass players I knew in music school used to buy a couple of different brands of plungers and removed the handles, then would find the one they liked the best. The cost was still less than one of the 'real' mutes.

    My dad gave me the keys to his Fiat - a stick shift - and because I said I could drive, he let me take the car. Everytime I came back to say the car stalled, he said he'd have to look at the engine. Eventually I learned how to freakin shift and all was well. MUCH better than driving in the seat next to me!

    I'm really not surprised Coulter's book isn't selling well. How many times can you reheat and serve "Liberals are all gay satan worshipers, trust only in the white elite. Btw, Rush Limbaugh makes me wet." before it's just the same old hate speech, even to those who believe it?


    I can't believe I typed that about Rush Limbaugh. I need to shower now.

    @Bunson: It's true. She just rehashes the same tired bullshit over and over. She needs to branch out, write herself into some Rush/Hannity slash fic, with a side of Palin as a female wolf furry or something.

    My mom and I both have abnormally low blood pressure. As in, we are prone to mad wooziness, cannot donate blood without fainting (not frightened of needles or blood; we just apparently need every drop), and freak out nurses every time they do a routine blood pressure check.


    The only time my mother's blood pressure has ever registered as normal was when I drove her to the doctor's office at age 15 as part of "driver's training."

    I remember my mom teaching me to drive. And by "teaching me to drive," I mean yelling "SLOW DOWN!!" while I was going 12 miles an hour in a completely empty parking lot. My stepdad taught me to drive instead, and four years later, mom still isn't allowed to ride in a car I'm driving unless she's unconscious.

    My mom used to sit on her side, hold the door handle and rock while humming at a very high pitch. My dad just stomped the phantom break and gave me condescending directions.
