hehe. I imagine killing it wasn't as difficult as draggin' it's arse back to the village

it is not just the southern belles that are useless today. i reckon a good portion of men and women today generally don't know how (or want) to do squat. But they all seem to be able to remember that nifty telephone number of someone who does from the millionfold rerun commercials. Long gone are the days when someone would open the hood and even have some faint notion as to what he was lookin' at, but at least he knows what the "in" thing for all the sheep to consume is.

what do you imagine Susan B. Anthony would think of "Clueless" et al?

hehe, you see my daughter is laughing now... but she will likely be pissin' and moanin' when she turns sixteen and finds herself with me in the shop reaming the cylinders and replacing the bushings and piston rings of her vehicle's engine, answering questions about the venturi effect (yes, the engine will be that old), etc. before she hits the road.
