I didn't even get to see the cool wreck, either. :cry:

| 6. MY SUGGESTION FOR PARKS AND RECREATION. |
|
HEY, this is *MY* idea - nobody stealing it!
What's more frustrating than waiting for 2-3 hours for a 20 minute drive than not even getting to see what happened?
I BELIEVE the parks and recreation departments should get off their butts and hire some recent theater majors, buy a van, build some cheap plywood props and a smoke machine, and have it on call for when one of these backups occur!
They RUSH to the scene from the other side of the backup, set up their props, stretchers, fake blood, kerosene soaked rags for fire effects, etc, and once the traffic starts moving again, put on a little 'show' for all the people to see!
I'm thinking something like "Pirates of the Caribbean" for rubber neckers!

| 8. How much do you now know about the car you sat behind the whole time? |
|
Color? Make? Model? Year? License number? Any bumper stickers? Trailer hitch?
And what about the driver? Type A personality about to burst a blood vessel? Talking on the phone? Putting on makeup? Reading? Watching a movie on the portable DVD player? Taking a nap?
Inquiring minds want to know!
:silly:

| 9. It was a rust-colored Honda Element. |
|
Just about the ugliest damn vehicle I ever saw.
I also saw several yellow ribbon magnets turned to the right to resemble Jesus Fish, a "Legalize It" bumper sticker, and a "Yo La Tengo for President" bumper sticker. Coincidentally, "Everybody Hurts" by REM was on the radio during the worst of the traffic jam. I expected to see Michael Stipe on the overpass in front of us.

| 10. Hmmmm, were all these magnets and stickers on the same car? |
|

That would be pretty wild...
Ok, my Spanish is a little rusty, but doesn't "Yo La Tengo" mean, "I have it"?
I'm so confused!
On edit: Duh, now I get it; it's the name of a musical group. I've never heard of them, but I did a quick search!
