First off:

1. Why in the hell am I up?! I was quite tired when I showed up, now, not so much

2. Steffany aka SoCalCLK shoulda got his azz to El Segundo

3. Why do we somehow manage to get bad service everywhere we go? Maybe nlpamg had sex with the servers woman?

4. MJ's E55 is saweet!

5. Splinter's ride is a sleeper that will rock

6. Drex, I'm glad I got saved from borrowing a tool from you. Would have been karma

7. Phil sweet talked the security guard. I think he gave him a USC sticker or something.

8. Frank didn't bring a camera!? What is the world coming too!?
