A Fixed Truck and wtf AI?

Mentioned a couple months ago that the wife’s suburban had a compressor malfunction. Since then we’ve been limping it along more or less just fine. The fried pulley clutch would make some gawd-awful noises from time to time, but it all worked if you didn’t mind being a little embarassed… Well, it all worked until Monday when that clutch finally seized and destroyed the new serpentine belt. *sigh*
Good news is that the wife had it towed to a shop who gave us an estimate several hundred dollars below any other estimates we’d received. Got it fixed and back yesterday and man, it sure runs quieter with working parts. 
Wife and daughter have been hooking me into watching American Idol with ‘em most nights this year. In general I enjoy it, but … what the heck is going on with the panel this year? Randy is Randy, Simon is Simon but Paula is… what, drunk? Every show she seems to be doing or saying something just a bit goofy. And the host (Ryan?) seems to have decided that he is going to get in a shot at Simon every chance he gets. You can feel the tension and frankly it is rather annoying. Ah well, I’m still rooting for the rocker (Chris) and the Pickler.

Ah yes… welcome to the fold… blessed are the American Idol fans who comment on Paula Abdul’s drugged out state and Ryan’s barbs. Yeah. Both were there before, but seem to be more prevalent this season. Usually Paula was only stoned on the second night. Now she’s sort of bong-juiced all the time.
Randy’s too apologetic though. He wasn’t always so, “Dawg you know I love ya man, but that just didn’t do it for me. You can SANG, but ya didn’t bring it tonight.” OK, Randy… if you say that more than twice in a row… they can’t sing… you just like them personally.
And the next person to say “with respect” needs a pencil in their eye. They don’t mean it respectfully at all. They’re a step away from yelling “I’m rubber you’re glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” All while Paula bogarts the doobage and refuses to pass.
Rich: rotflmao!
I watch AI…here in Mx we are a week behind the US, but it’s still fun….because it’s one of the few things I can actually talk with my mom about lol!
And yes, Chris is great…but I’ll have to admit that I also like Taylor’s style and penache…he’s got big brass b***s to do things the way he does them
