No Accord Hybrid -- fears of falling asleep at the wheel.
The Mercedes was the closest contender. Mrs. Lad Boy was mesmerized by the panoramic roof. In a rare, for her, concession to impulse over logic, she almost plunked down her annual bonus on one. But our German car experience carried over to the MB and we opted for practicality over mesmerizibility.
Prius -- You must be kidding. I think you have to win an essay contest to be considered for the waiting list for one of those.
The winner is Quislet and the Honda Pilot. Seats 8 so now we can have three more children -- we call it keeping up with the Cobalts.
....but alas the car story takes a turn for the worse. In the rainfall of tropical storm Hanna, I crashed the massive Pilot into a tiny Honda CRV that failed to yield at a traffic light. No major injuries, just some seatbelt burns and coughing and gagging for inhaling the explosive residues from the discharge of the airbags. It was a classic big car v little car confrontation with our big car demonstrating that safety is inversely related to fuel economy. Maybe we'll go for the panoramic sunroof this time.
I need a good attorney...Ahh Quislet, it's your turn.

Yay for the paranomic sunroof. And do keep us informed of the "three more children" part

I like Law & Order. I remember one episode where they used a legal concept I had just learned in law school. I kind of hate the opening where they show "LAW" and then the cops and "Order" and show the lawyers when cops represent Order and the lawyers represent Law.
So it is not my favorite.

Well, I do like history and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a cutie, but I have not seen the Tudors.

Any show that has the leads from "Taxi," "Northern Exposure," and a Giffen era "Justice League" pilot has got to score some fave points.

Numb3rs sounds like an interesting show, but I haven't seen it. Should I start watching it?

I've only seen it a couple of times, but it seemed enjoyable enough. I think there might be a pretty large "suspension of disbelief" factor that so many crimes can be solved by examining the mathematical patterns of a criminal's actions.

Heroes is great. I can't wait for the next season. But it is not my favorite.
