I don't really start threads, but there should maybe be a Defend the Indefensible for people who back into parking spaces.

You can of course do what you like in your own driveway. I'm talking about in crowded parking lots with people waiting.

I don't think we use "Defend The Indefensible" anymore, Spencer. Showing your age ;)

You are correct.
― Reality Check Cashing Services (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 19 April 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
x-postDunnoh about the mermaid parade, but DooDah's been going since '78 or so. Basically a zany parade, that seems a little tamer than it used to be.
