Widely available? I hope you don't mean at the likes of Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or the mall. You'd be lucky to find Mink Car at those sorts of places, much less their debut album. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen that album at any but the shadiest hole-in-the-wall record stores, and usually on vinyl. Either have your local record store order it for you or buy it online; otherwise you're not gonna find it. |

I'm not even talking Wal Mart, Best Buy or the mall - I'm talking places like Tower Records and several good used CD stores around me, which usually have several TMBG albums in stock, but never that one. I'm not sure why that is. |

Weird. I was able to get it at Borders. (Incidentally, there are only two stores in town--Borders and Wherehouse Music--that have a good TMBG selection. At all the other stores, you'd be lucky to find Flood. Seriously, Sam Goody has 3 TMBG albums--Flood, No!, and The Spine. K-Mart has NONE.) |

I've only been able to find Indestructible Object and Flood at Bookman's. And the only Weird Al I've found there is Bad Hair Day, Running With Scissors, and Greatest Hits Volume II. But it's still awexome. |

Nose itches. I have allergies, so my nose itches sometimes. There's just no way to scratch it without embarrassing yourself. And foot itches. You take off your shoe and scratch them, and then they come back right after you put your shoe back on. Grrrrr. |

Yeah, that annoys me, too. The only time I will ever use speak ,like that when it's not a joke is "c ya", but I would almost never need to say that on a forum, anyways. |

WalMarts, Subways, Barnes and Nobles, Targets... GUH! It gets so annoying (but she's so wonderful, I can overlook that). I think it's a northern thing. She's from Michigan. My friends from Wisconsin do the same thing. |

I think it's a midwestern thing, but somehow I managed to avoid catching it. |

Peeve: When people don't know the difference between an MP3 and an MP3 player. Like this one time at school, when we were running the mile and were allowed to bring MP3 players in, I brought in mine, and some guy was like, "Yo, is that an MP3?", and I said "It's an MP3 player, if that's what you mean." and he said "They're the same thing." AAAARRRGGGBBBLLLBLL!! I CAN'T HANDLE THE STUPIDITY! *explodes* |

Oh boy I'm angry now, apparently every good avatar on the internet does not work, the only working avatars are either anime or south park avatars, this isnt a rule of "The avatar image file size must be less than 10 KB" and bandwidth matters, this is in matters of the devil watching over Me and is trying to prevent Me from getting a good avatar.

This is why you make your own or get someone else to do it. |

Um.. it looks like you requested an avatar less than three hours ago. This isn't McDonald's; you're gonna have to give people more than a couple hours if you want them to help you out. |

Yeah, snow's not that great. It's too cold for me. And if you try to eat it, sometimes you get the yellow kind, and... ugh. Pet Peeve: Snow. |

Doesn't a lot of Australia lie in the Southern Temperate Zone? I thought so, anyway. Yar. You want snow, you should have been here for THE BLIZZARD OF '93!!! [/pirate voice] Yeah. It was 12 years ago, and I still remember it. We got about four feet of snow. At least it seemed that way. I was only about three feet tall then myself, so... But yeah, it must be weird to have barbecues on Christmas. It boggles my mind, anyway. |

Oh yes... I remember that blizzard quite well. Not only did we get the most snow I've ever seen at one time, but it was just about the only time I ever remember my yard completely turning to ice, so we finally got to try out our equivalent of hockey there (we mostly played backyard baseball and football) for the first and only time ever. That was one good thing to come out of that storm, at least. |
