no, it doesn't ring the fire department

Ok, that's totally fun then.

I accidentally pulled the fire alarm once. I was in 3rd grade I think. It was during the Christmas play we were all lined up in the hall about to go on stage and I was leaning against the wall, completely oblivious that I was leaning on the fire alarm. Well I stepped away from the wall but my fingers were hooked in the switch and pulled it. I don't know how I didn't feel it, but I totally did not mean to do it. I was so embarassed. I tried to push it back in, but of course that didn't work. Then the principle came to reset. It and she looked pissed off, but I didn't get in trouble.

This was a long time ago; I don't think it called the FD. If they came I never knew it, and no one left the building!

YAY MIA!! That's great! Now you can drive and sing very very very loud along to ok go and paolo and fratellis and... because that's the best thing to do, when one has the license....

I thought so too. Here you go to the place and wait for a long time and they give it to you there.

But CONGRATS!

i got mine right after i passed, which is mean, because when you fail (which...i did the first time...) you see the license but you can't have it...

lol were you on ONTD today? They have a "Where are they now?" Princess Bride edition. Is hot.

It's too bad Elwes isn't hot anymore. I'll always have the hots for his young self.

I love ONTD, even if I won't admit it to most people.

Really? I had to drive across town and get it from the DMV. They didn't have them there waiting for us. That is mean!!!!


Ohhh du kommst aus Deutschland. Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch.

Actually... that's about it. And I probably screwed that up!!

....so weird to read german when you don't expect it...

Hey, das ist toll. Du hast es richtig gesagt.

I am of the belief ONTD is a sekrit love of almost everyone. It's just so trashy, it's good.

Getting into bitchfests in the comments section is my absolute favourite.

Nothing beats a good bitchfest, esp. on ONTD.

THIRTY-NINE
QUESTIONS FOR
CHARLIE DANIELS
UPON HEARING
"The Devil Went
Down to Georgia"
for the First Time
in 25 Years.
BY JOHN MOE
- - - -

1. The Devil won that fiddling contest, right?

2. Because isn't that totally amazing fiddle feedback thing the Devil plays (which sounds like Hendrix gone bluegrass) a hundred times better than that high-school-band piece-of-crap tune Johnny plays?

3. I mean, come on, right?

4. And since the Devil is so clearly better, why does he lay the golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet?

5. What kind of one-sided bet was that anyway, your eternal soul for a fiddle?

6. Shouldn't it have been something like Johnny's soul or the eradication of Evil?

7. Or maybe a golden fiddle against some object Johnny placed great value upon?

8. If the Devil went down to Georgia 'cause he was looking for a soul to steal, why does he arrange what appears to be an honest competition?

9. Was there actually some hidden theft or scam going on here on the part of the Devil?

10. Then why not explain that, Mr. Daniels?

11. And who was judging that contest?

12. Was it an honor-system kind of thing?

13. With the Devil?

14. Honor system with the Devil. How did Johnny get sucked into that one?

15. Does Johnny suffer from some—I'm trying to be delicate here—cognitive disabilities?

16. Was there some sort of arbitration board in place in the event that the outcome was not obvious?

17. If so, who served on this board?

18. It wasn't the demons, was it?

19. 'Cause even though they're the only characters in the song, they're kind of biased since they're in the Devil's band and they're demons, right?

20. So why—why—does the Devil take the dive and throw the contest?!

21. I mean, the Devil can't be hurting for cash. How much is it going to cost him to buy a new golden fiddle?

22. I'm thinking maybe $18,000. Does that sound right to you?

23. If you're Johnny, what do you even want with a golden fiddle?

24. Doesn't the metallic surface of a golden fiddle create an unpalatably tinny sound as opposed to the nice resonant sound on a wooden instrument?

25. Does he think he's going to display it in his home and tell people the story of how he beat the Devil?

26. Who's going to believe that?

27. Or does he try to sell the fiddle?

28. If so, how does he go about getting something like that appraised?

29. Or does he just melt it all down for the gold?

30. That sounds awfully hard, don't you think?

31. And is Johnny haunted by the question of why the Devil let him win like that?

32. Was there some catch in the contest that Johnny wasn't aware of where the Devil really does get his soul anyway and Johnny didn't notice it because he's not all that smart?

33. And even if he didn't get Johnny's soul, what is Johnny going to say to God in heaven when he has to explain that he bet his soul, the essence of life, God's one true gift, on a fiddle contest?

34. Johnny knows deep down that he's not really the best that's ever been and that's the source of his insecure boasting, right?

35. Was it really necessary or wise to invite the Devil to come on back if he ever wants to try again?

36. 'Cause what does Johnny need, a second golden fiddle?

37. Or maybe a golden viola the next time?

38. Why would the Devil need an invitation?

39. Are you implying, Mr. Daniels, that Johnny actually wants to get hustled?
