Our New Baby: 2008 Honda OdysseyThe purchase of our new toy was the result of countless hours of online research, many visits to various car lots, bitter and vigorous inter-spouse debate, and one subscription to Consumer Reports. At the finish line, it was between the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey, with the Honda getting the nod.
Although we did the deal on Saturday, we actually will not receive it until Friday. What this means is a week of anticipation, we just can't wait to get the damn thing! We managed to get a couple bonuses squeezed into the deal, one bonus was a DVD player, so that oughta shut up those kids!
Two things I'm going to take a picture of: (1) the odometer reading, which will read "7", and (2) the engine, with not a spec of dirt on it.
I should mention, that since purchasing the minivan, there already has been some noticeable testicular atrophy. When they completely whither away, I suppose I could always compensate with purchasing a motorcycle like the other testicular-challenged folks.
So, until Friday arrives, all I have is the brochure.

"compensate with purchasing a motorcycle like the other testicular-challenged folks"
I'm not sure when the last time you rode a motorcycle was, but I can assure you that it does absolutely nothing for the testicles.
I think what Gerry is trying to say is that you have purchased your motorcycle to make up for your lack of testicles or any masculine qualities.
Your friend,

I saw a show on Discovery that the combination of seating position and vibration from sitting on a motorcycle causes testicular shrinkage.
Admit it, D. You HAVE seen the Sex In The City movie, haven't you. ADMIT IT.
Seen it? Should be asking what part he cried at while watching it... of course he's seen it.
Any guy that accuses another guy of compensating because the other guy owns some kind of wicked road machine (say, for example, a Triumph Tiger 955i), I think should just get back into his family wagon, whether that be a Volkswagen station wagon or a Honda mini van, and reflect quietly upon his underdeveloped testicle-induced choices in life.
I have not seen Sex In The City, but have the intestinal fortitude, the chutzpah, the, well—balls, to watch it at any time I wish. For example, I just watched an older chick flick—Bring it On, with Cindy, and afterward she told me that she was happy we could share these types of movies together, but, in truth, I was just in it for the cheerleaders.
Bring it. Beeyatch! Oh, it's already been brought!"
My oldest boy has seen "Bring it on" and "Bring it on again" (the sequel. Cindy and Ryan have a lot in common, I'd be worried that they might hook up.
Is Cindy into younger men?
Obviously Cindy is into much older men, men who are counting the days till they retire. Men who would have no reason to get out of bed in the morning if it weren't for trying to achieve some unattainable nautical fantasy.
Well, I was just wondering. I mean, her standards are clearly not that high. So, I was just postulating.
Eric, I'm glad you think that it is an "unattainable nautical fantasy" because that will make it all that much sweeter when it actually happens. I look forward to telling you about it.
Gerry, I'm thinking that Ryan is too young to be in it for the cheerleaders, unless...
Yes, I'll look forward to reading your memoirs "Wet dreams, my nautical journey to nowhere: The Darwin Grenwich Story.'
Your friend,
Eric
Why not make some money off your memoirs. Sell it to the National Enquirer:
"My Night of Passion with John McCain, if the boat is a rockin'...."
Wet Dreams is actually a pretty good title (if not used already) for a nautical book. Thanks Eric. Seriously.
And Gerry, everyone knows I'm an Obama man.
