Anyone who knows me knows I am very prone to the giggles. Uncontrollable fits of giggles that can be set off by the stupidest, smallest things. The kind of giggles that go on for minutes and you can't stop them no matter how hard you try to stop them.
I had one of those episodes on Sunday at the movies. I just thank God it was during the credits and not during actual movie. I would have had lots of pissed parents "ssssshhh-ing" me otherwise.
I took my son to see the Veggie Tales movie and while watching the credits the Veggies launched into their own version of the B-52s "Rock Lobster". Only it was called "Rock Monster" (you have to see it to understand). I knew from the opening cords it was going to one of those crazy spoofs and as soon as I recognized the song I lost it. Giggles and tears, the whole thing. Of course my son got a kick out of me laughing which made him laugh which did not help in stopping my giggles at all.
The sad thing? I think I was the youngest grown-up in the theater since it seemed to be Take Your Grandkid to the Movies Day and I apparently was the only one who got the joke.

Things That Annoy Me....#105
I know you've seen those houses. You know the ones I mean. The ones with the double-wide driveways and three-car garages with room to park another car NEXT to the garage. Or the houses with the detached garage where the driveway flares out before the garage doors just in case the driveway wants to do donuts or some fancy spin outs.
Now you've got a picture of that kind of house in your head try to remember how many people you've actually seen USE that part of their driveway to turn their cars around? People that decide "maybe I'll drive nose first out onto the street." I bet you can't name ANY. I think that extra space repels cars or something. It must have an invisible force field around it making it impossible for owners to head out of their driveways nose first.
When someone has a driveway that big what the hell is stopping them from backing out of their garage, TURNING THE CAR AROUND, and driving nose first out of the driveway? I'm sure drivers of the vehicles on the road passing the house would really appreciate knowing you see them. I know I would. I prefer that so much more than feeling like I'm playing Chicken with the car backing out of the driveway. Playing Chicken on my way to work and getting my heart rate up that early in the morning doesn't sit well with me.
And for the record, no, I can't turn my car around in my driveway. Invisible force field or not.
