I know that this is still up for debate, but this link on global warming from /. is hella scary folks.

I’m also had a bizarre dinner with my father, his new(ish) wife, and
their baby Greta, yesterday. He brought some friends along, and
they turned out to be my childhood neighbors, and the parents of a girl
with whom I went to grade school. The father dutifully brought
his kids lunch every single day, so, when I met them at dinner, my
father’s friend was shocked, “This is your daughter? How come we
never saw you [my dad] at the school?” I answered for him, “He
wasn’t around.”
My father is supposed to struggling and everything, so I have no idea where he got the money for a $400 maclaren stroller. I guess it’s the standard for fobs and yuppies alike?
I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that some folks have the nerve to charge that much for a stroller (and many baby products in general), or that consumers let this sort of thing continue.
I suppose a stroller is one of those things I could imagine spending a lot of money on, but only if it was like, super safe and super functional. Bat-stroller made from collapsible titanium poles and solar fabric, with built-in wifi? That would rock. Almost makes me want to have a baby.
Are you sure it’s not counterfeit? Or maybe it was a gift. People think I have expensive taste in perfume, but I just have rich friends. 😀
No, SSRD, it’s not a gift, I asked him, “Who gave you this hand-me-down?” and he launched into how much it cost.
dang it I went to the site expecting it to be the same MacLaran that makes the F1 and supercars. I was all excited, that they’d make a sleek 0-60 in 2.3 second stroller, but alas. 400 dollars unqualified. Built in wifi would rock in a stroller.
I can’t wait to get a stroller for my baby, then lower it, put on some bling, and go cruise the hood. My baby’s gonna be pimpin.
badxmaru, if you ever want to get into the bling-bling stroller business, let me know. I think we might be onto something.
Look on the bright side: If we’re already past the point of no return, we don’t have to do anything! Yay! 😀
Global warming stories just make me put my nose to the grindstone. I’m going to need money, when it floods, and it becomes the haves versus the have nots.
“Look on the bright side: If we’re already past the point of no return, we don’t have to do anything! Yay! 😀 ” Yes, that’s the problem with these stories. :-p
Money will be meaningless. Time to start working out!
Also, I just noticed the title of this entry. Brilliant!
“Time to start working out!” Or otherwise making oneself really hot.
I always thought that Appalachia might be nice place to live. Of course, if the East Coast gets flooded from global warming, I’d pretty much have to move there anyway. Hagerstown/Charles Town/Pittsburgh, here I come!
