  0 0 OK, point taken - I must remember the readers with atrophied sarcasm glands. I keep forgetting, quite literally, the literal sub-literate. MacBastard commented over 2 years ago

  First date ideas?

  2 1 OK, this reveals my inner squishy nature (goddamnfuckshit!) but why not try something like wandering around one of the neighborhood farmer's markets. DO NOT go to Pike Place Market unless you want to yell at each other over hobos demanding your change. You can find out a lot from someone as you travel through one of these: suggestive vegetables are always a good icebreaker!

  0 0 First off, if you know I'm not serious on that last one, why bust my balls? Second, skipping the country is a crucial step: it severely reduces the likelihood of getting your ass in trouble with Johnny Law. I mean, who's gonna extradite for selling a shitty car?

  Is it worthwhile to replace my transmission so I can sell my car?

  2 1 Agh - fucking transmissions. The bane of car sellers and buyers since the dawn of the Hydramatic. Whose idea was it to include a device as complicated as a goddam Swiss watch to make a car move back and forth? Well, let's just get right out and say it: you're screwed. Screwed, screwed, screwed, screwed, screwed. If you sell this dead, syphilitic albatross for Blue Book (not likely) after dealing with the transmission, you are only going to break even after spending all this time and effort to get this fucker fixed. More likely, you're going to sell it for less than Blue Book and get soaked for the difference. Get ahead of this loser's game: donate this thing to your favorite charity and get a tax break. If you're one of those anal-retentives that itemize, you could come out ahead (yes, not as arousing as cash in hand) and actually get some feel-good out of this shitball. You tax mavens can correct me, but I think if you do this soon, you can still include this on your 2009 returns. The last alternative is to keep it until you're ready to move, go to Schuck's, find and use some of that "Transmission Fix-In-A-Can", and then sell the car to some stupid kid for a bargain price. Then, skip the country. Not only did you make a profit, you've taught one of our future leaders valuable lessons about trust, test driving a car, caveat emptor, and all sorts of other bullshit!

  Laundry service?

  2 0 Not too far from Fremont is Transformation Surprise Laundromat (yes, super hippy-dippy name) just a door north from the NW corner of 8th Ave NW and NW Market St in East Ballard. This is probably the cleanest, brightest, least depressing laundromat in the western world, I shit you not. They will wash and fold your clothes for you for $1 a pound, $10 minimum (not usually a problem), and you know what? They will do a helluva good job and have it ready when they say it will be. They even ask you if you're allergic to different detergents, whether you want a certain softener, or even if you want Oxyclean in the load so you can wash out the sin you've emitted in your underwear and sheets. I understand the being super fucking busy thing - I usually do my own laundry, but these people have saved my ass when things just got too hectic. Try 'em out; you won't be disappointed!
