ace (defensive) driver

Hey, remember that whole ticket thing and the defensive driving and all that jazz? Well, I took the course yesterday, and I am truly a changed man. I'll never speed again.

No, the course didn't convince me to drive better. It was, however, fucking torture. According to the rules set out by the State, the course must take a minimum of 6 hours, including 1 hour of mandatory break. So I couldn't just run through it in an hour like any reasonable person would—I had to flip back and forth between the course and a few lively games of C&C Generals while watching the Chargers defeat the Colts (woot!) and then the Cowboys get eaten alive by the Redskins (Little Big Horn, indeed).

But hey, apparently I'm a really safe driver, because I got 100% on the final test. Remember that next time you're clawing for the oh shit! handle as we blow past some poor old woman at 140, horn and stereo punctuating the screams of the passengers and the sirens blaring behind us.

...and just think, we won't even have three stars yet!

Where did you take this course?
Was it at home? Or did they let you bring a laptop to where it was offered?

Just saw your post about the Tim Rattay jersey. Fucking awesome. I was thinking about buying the TO jersey off Reebok's website, but I never got around to it. Maybe they still have some...

Have you installed Zero Hour yet? CHINA INF IS FOR NOOBS!

But seriously, U.S. air pwnz...At least if you don't get rushed...

They have an "online" option.

I'm a fan of China nuke.
