out the bus window

This morning, I looked out the window of the bus and saw a beautiful Mercedes C-class sedan in the next lane. I studied the graceful curve of the rear door frame (where it meets the C pillar)... it seemed almost organic. Divinely designed. The sun glinted off the deep metallic paint...

I don't know why, but I was instantly reminded of a trip to Sandbanks Provincial Park in the summer of 2001. I was with my (then) boyfriend, and we didn't drive there in a Mercedes.

The glint of the water was the same as the glint on the car maybe? Maybe life is really just a dream, only better organized.

Was it because the people in the car were nude and you were in your "nudist phase" when you were at that beach?

mitz: no carsex for the ex and I. Isn't Sandbanks awesome?

torn, salem: I almost wrote something about that... the flash of reflected sunshine is the common ingredient

peter: I just knew you'd pipe up with that stuff

fatrobot: I certainly hope not! I swam there, and am very afraid of lake monsters.

butchie: good thinking, but no... we took my Honda

teh: um, hello? I was on public transit while appreciating the beauty of the Benz! That should count for something.

Benz, beach. It's all good.

They rode there on a unicycle.
I won once, just once. The year was 3rd grade, the game dodgeball, the other team: one nerd.

Actually, I hit nerd with a basketball in third grade. But I consider that a victory.

"I spotted a Mercedes."

For shame! What kind of clean lines are you seeing on the original machine that was built for the Nazis? When I see that piece 'o shit German mobile, all I think is, "Thanks for funding the killing of 6 million of my people. Oh yeah, you also paid too much for your car, you self hating Jew. (Who knew the Jews would be their best customers).

I think you might of gone there in a Sherman Tank. I would respect that on some level.

AG: to quote Janis Joplin... "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? My friends all drive Porsches; I must make amends..." The cars are gorgeous and I make no apologies for lusting after them--tainted as the history of MB may be. I've compromised by going Swedish, as you know.

Jason: are you on drugs today?

No, I'm not on anything except antidepressives because of how mean you are to me.

I spent several years living out of a bus (a nice one with bunks & TV's etc- not a nasty Greyhound) I like bus's.

No, say "a nice bus"
I guess I should have waved at you from the car but I was embarrassed to since you were in a bus. Don't be mad

It had a brass pole in it, also, Mitz.

AG's head explodes with the plethora of comments that could follow on that one.

Mitz, nice one!
