Coke vs. Soda vs. Pop

While perusing the blogs this morning and Patty said 'Pop' made me think of the way we say and think of stuff. I actually was able to find the this dandy little map that actually confirmed my none scientific pre-clusions. Areas west of State College PA say 'pop' and the south uses coke.

I cringe when I hear soda referred to as pop, I do not know why. Personally flip flop between soda and coke.

Burn!

CNN what a bunch of fools. I knew it looked to stupid to be true.

 

To quote GB2 " Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice ...can't get fooled again."

And another one bites the dust.

Well my Third xbox has gone on to bigger and better places. Well not yet still waiting on my return tag, but it is coming. Did not get any red rings this time... the video had been acting strange recently all red and crappy. Well my girlfriends kid came over this weekend and sat down to play it and, TADA!! no video at all black screen but booting up and pretending like it was doing something. Luckily the back up xbox is working just fine (knocks wood) and we will survive with only one xbox for a couple weeks.

Follow up

So I finally found out what the window cost for the BMW. It was only like 500.00. The kicker is the god-damned mirror. It cost more than the window. 650.00!! I think they said the total cost of install and re-calibration of all the equipment that is located in the mirror, GPS, outside temperature sensor, moisture sensor, I dont know I think they even have the sensor for the Headlight fluid in the damn thing, and installation was something like 1600$ Thankfully it is not coming out of my pocket or else I would need to get a second job, or quit and find a better paying one to cover it.
