Vehicular Exertion
While I have a natural disinclination towards hard work, I spent a good part of my afternoon pushing a Blazer around a parking lot. The pleasant afternoon of video games and TV binging that I had planned for myself was utterly destroyed. It is time I will never get back.
To make a short story long, I am currently camping out at the residence of TBQelite and his clan while the my family and a big part his family are in Idaho for various quizzing activities. The reason for this relocation is that since I will be catching a ride with him to school and would be coming to his LAN party on Friday/Saturday it would be most convenient if I was living in the same local as he for a few days.
Anyhow, Rawkstarman, generously allowed us to beat him into giving us a ride home from school. Unfortunately, after listening to me quote my last chapter, and walking out to the remote region of the BCC parking lot where Rawkstarman had parked his vehicular, he found that the old piece of junk wouldn't start.
Rawkstarman then suggested that we try to start his car "the cool way" which involved him sitting in the car while TBQelite and I pushed. Predictably the coolness of the technique was related somewhat Disproportionately to its effectiveness.
We then peered under the hood. Rawkstarman dug around his vehicular's guts while TBQelite and I looked on and uttered knowing phrases such as ,"Uh-huh,", "I see," and "That might work."
Eventually, Rawkstarman decided that the problem lay with his corroded battery terminals which he postulated could be expedientally repaired by pouring Coke on them. One can later we discovered that this was another "sweet" move that possesed only limited utility.
To wrap up this tale before it gets long winded and boring. Rawkstarman got out and pushed with us and after a few tries the modified version of "the cool way" produced the desired result along with a funny smell. We ended up getting back a little later than normal but now I have something to blog about. That's about it.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

Wow! Intersting story~but not fun for you three!
"Predictably the coolness of the technique was related somewhat Disproportionately to its effectiveness."
What a line!
It would've been cool if it had worked the first time or even the second time.
I saw u and Ryan outside, quoting. That sucks that his car woulent start (well easily)
Hey, it's not my fault the starter broke. And that it wouldn't push start. But the moral of the story is: I got it working, with the help of coke, that is.
