I wanna know.....

1. what happened to the upside down car (i.e. how it got that way, if it was a teenager or woman driver, etc).

2. What is in those viles (it ain't blood)

3. IF the Chainsaw to credit card thing really did work, and not just toss the Visa backwards when the chainsaw started.

gracias!

Aww, puppie looks so sad!!!
And fantastic macro shot of that quarter!

@militarydave: Don't have a clue on 1 or 2, but as far as 3, I doubt it would work, as I don't see anything restraining the credit card. Now, if you put it in a vise, that would would probably work just fine. Speaking of which, I have a credit card that needs chopping up, and a sabersaw that sounds like it would make that a lot of fun...

@militarydave: 'Woman driver,' seriously?

OK buddy, for your benefit and that of any other hapless males trying to use the internet: Click the pictures to go to the originals to see the descriptions. That might answer some of your questions.

@militarydave: 2.I think a purple pH strip indicates a pretty strong base, maybe a pH of 10? And the fluid looks quite viscous, so maybe it's some kind of detergent.

that brown puppy needs a hug!

@farcedude: now i want to take all my old credit cards and cut them into jigsaw puzzle shapes before i put them in the trash

@militarydave:

About the car: Drunk college kids. I've seen this happen a couple of times.

@blueneon: And someone whose face it can lick.

I vote that the dog gets to be officially dubbed "Recession Dog" and is used for all sad recession stories from now on.

Those tears (or goobers, whatever) tell a sad tale of woe and financial distress.

@spanky: Did that on the car one... the caption said the poster didn't know what happened either. Any other advice?

@MinorAnnoyance: Well, then you can safely assume it was just another stupid man trying to perform some simple task beyond his abilities.

Maybe he saw a squirrel and became frightened and hysterical. Maybe he was trying to chew gum and drive at the same time.

@spanky: Maybe he tried to ask for directions.

@Five: Hey! Did you know that if a man stops and asks another man for directions, and that second guy can provide them, then that second guy is then legally entitled to reach right in and take your wife?!?

That car only got halfway through the barrel roll, better luck next time buddy.

@runswithscissors: Wow... i thought that only was legal in texas? lol!

-dave

@spanky: Yes.... dead serious!

@runswithscissors: Well, clearly she would leave you anyways for the man who knows where things are and how to get there. These things are important to women. Also, maps.

@militarydave: Those vials don't look all that vile to me.

@militarydave: 2. What is in those viles (it ain't blood)

I bet it's something vial ;)

Funny, when I first got my 100mm macro, one of the first things I shot was coins.

A macro lens just makes you want to go grab everything and shoot it just to see what it looks like (some things are more cooperative than others).

/cats have really bumpy noses

@spanky: Feminist overreaction much? You can probably calm down, because if it actually was a woman driver, there's no way the car would have even got out of the driveway. /sarcasm

@supercereal: You know what? No.

Something like that might be a little funny if it were comically anachronistic, but when it's something that people still say in all seriousness, it's not funny yet.

Give the 'calm down' schtick another twenty years or so too. Maybe that will also have some humor value.

@militarydave: The vials look like they contain an immiscible organic and aqueous layer. Potassium permanganate solutions are a color similar to the purple towards the top.

@spanky: I agree that the "woman driver" comment was asinine, but then you spouted off with the "hapless males" comment. And then three other male-bashing comments in your next post. So I guess that makes you a bigger sexist ahole than the OP, huh?

@Caged Wisdom:
my thoughts exactly. SOMEone's a little insecure.

@Caged Wisdom: @ultimatecardsfan:

You don't even notice a difference, like how the things I said are in no way stereotypes of males, but rather obvious parodies of the post I was responding to?

Didn't pick up on that at all?

Naw, I couldn't have done that intentionally. I must just be overreacting because I am an insecure, sexist asshole. It's like you're looking right into my soul there.

@spanky: Spanky, how many years do we have to stop calling any idiot driver a "woman driver"? We're kind of in the habit, see. It's a blonde thing.

Regardless, that's a weird place to go inverted. The scratch marks aren't even very long. Maybe elevated parking above the camera?

It looks like there's glass on the ground behind the rear window, but none by the ?passenger's? side window. Seems odd.

And does Bear the Recession Puppy have an allen wrench under his paw? He looks sad that he didn't get to go running in the desert...

@spanky: Ah spanky.... well... i see this has become a bit contriversial. please keep in mind... when you're stationed overseas for a good while... little things like my forementioned "jokes" keep moral up. amongts the vast sea of males in desert camoflauge and maxim magazines, this is typical. i apologize for adding to the stereotypical statement of "women drivers"... although i'm sure we've seen or recieved the forwarded emails of prime examples of women drivers and their vehicular mishaps.

@spanky: Men as well have made their share of mistakes behind the wheel... but thats usually when under the influence of alcohol or when fleeing from police.....

Not when they're at a red light appliying masacara or going 80mph putting on lipstick/lipliner or making a U-turn while touching up on the eyeshadow.

just FYI!

-dave

@ohenry: Agreed. Or +1. Or whatever. I was going to say "Handout Hound" for when a company goes to the government for more money. But Recession Dog is even better.

@militarydave: The driver isn't a man...it's a giant chicken.
