Ford Mustang

A bad-ass car from Ford. It was such a huge hit in 1964, it created its own class of car, the Pony Car. GM and Chrysler scrambled to catch up as Ford sold millions and laughed all the way to the bank. All of its competitors have come and gone over the years, but the Mustang has never gone out of production. Even the weakest Mustangs of the 1970s sold in huge numbers. Today, a base GT model gives you 460 horsepower for $35,000. You can't buy another NEW vehicle in America that gives you more power for less money.

Go ahead, laugh at the Ford Mustang II. But Ford sold almost 300,000 of them in 1974 alone. That's a lot of cars.

Seattle Seahawks

Professional American football team based in the Pacific Northwest corner of the United States. Everyone rips on them, but they've been to three Super Bowls in nine years. Robbed in XL, won XLVIII, and lost XLIX. (barely.) They currently have arguably the coolest blue uniforms in the league. Their stadium is a nightmare for visiting teams, because the Seahawks usually win at home, and also because of the constant rain and deafening crowd noise.

Hawks fan #1: "Why didn't the Seattle Seahawks run the damn ball on the one yard line?!?!?"
Hawks fan #2: "It happened. Let it go. At least they weren't robbed by the refs again."
Hawks fan #1: "Yeah... you're right. And having one Lombardi Trophy is a heck of a lot better than none."

Working from home

Working from home sounds ideal, and there are some benefits; your commute is very short, you can sleep in later, you can work in casual clothes, or maybe even your birthday suit. But the downside is, you will be stuck in the house more, your social interaction with other people is reduced by a lot. Also, if your job is stressful or involves conflict, that will now be in your home. Makes it harder to separate home life from work life.

"I really love working from home; I have no commute.. but I'm starting to feel like a shut-in."

Hardwood Floor

A common mistake among homeowners. These types of floors look pretty, but that's their only benefit. They're freezing cold in the winter, impossible to keep clean, and develop squeaks. They also reflect sound whereas carpet absorbs sound. Carpet is also warmer in the winter, and more comfortable.

Damn these hardwood floors; I spent 20 minutes on them with a dust mop, and I still see dust bunnies, not to mention stains, and there's new squeaky spots. Next house I get will be all carpet.

Camping

When people voluntarily leave their comfortable homes and drive out to the middle of nowhere to live amongst trees, thousands of hungry insects, and very uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, in order that they may pretend they’re “reconnecting with nature.”

“Hey, we should go camping this weekend!”
“You mean, fight traffic so we can go out in the woods, live like homeless people, and hope we don’t start a forest fire? No thanks.”

Penny

The niece of Inspector Gadget. The true hero of the show, she protects her bumbling Uncle, often in secret, and assists him solving cases and foiling the schemes of Dr. Claw. She’s smart, incredibly brave, loyal, humble, patient, kind-hearted, upbeat, and cute as can be. She’s basically perfect and flawless. She’s never bitchy, never selfish and never lies. Penny’s top priorities are helping her Uncle, and also helping her dog, Brain. Although it is usually her who solves the case, she is more than happy to let her Uncle Gadget take the credit. She also carries a computer book, and her watch has a laser.

Dude, have you ever noticed that kid Penny kicks ass?
Heck yeah, man! I wish kids were really more like her. She has awesome theme music too.

Brain

The faithful dog belonging to Inspector Gadget and his niece Penny. Brain is Penny’s sidekick, and helps her on missions. Brain has human level intelligence, and can do things that normal dogs cannot, such as ride bikes and use tools. Brain has saved Inspector Gadget countless times. He loves his human comrades, especially Penny. Brain will do anything to protect his humans, and usually endures astounding amounts of punishment. All he wants in return is the company of Penny, and food.

I would love to have a dog like Brain, and a daughter or niece like Penny.
