So long, Sta-Puft

[weaktwos]

So, I get a ring on my doorbell this afternoon. A young lad is lookin' to buy my Corolla that's been mellowing out in the front yard.

I hadn't driven it in 4 months or so. It was likely dead. He jumped it and it started. He took it for a test drive. Seemed like a good guy. I sold it to him for a low price, but he took care of a problem I wouldn't have to deal with: getting rid of that car.

The title is transferred, and I've got the liability release information to send in. Tomorrow, it will be off my insurance.

Now I'm down to one car, the dutiful and most delightful Prius.

thought I was the main user of this opener
not to mention the ellipses -- now don't start using them too!!
good that you were able to unload your mellowing vehicle :)

Yes, on occasion I will open with the "So..."

...and I like to use ellipses on occasion...

Mostly conversationally, though...

hmmm...

..use ellipses conversationally?
sounds like a hell of an idea -- just can't figure it out
would it be something like duh, duh, duh?

Textual conversation, I meant to say. While chatting online, specifically. :-)

duh, duh, duh...that sounds suspiciously like a Trio song also used in a Volkswagon commercial.

duh, duh, duh...

makes me think of the sound of a harley
potato, potato, potato is the way I usually think of it, though
