So there I was, doing about 80 up the sidewalk, watching the pedestrians flung off the front bumper of my Jeep like bowling pins, when the thought occurred to me...

"Roger"; I thought, "this is NO WAY to make friends".

So I thought I'd share that insight.  Because it's true, really.

Preposterous. That is officially, the ONLY way to make friends. See, the friends are the ones who land in the passenger seat and say: "You know it's faster if you take the next right."

Well, it depends. Did you have a padded bumper? Did you smile and wave as you went? Did you go around people who didn't get back up?

I cannot be held responsible for lazy people.

Only if they door someone while they say it.

Well yeah, but you can hardly go around making friends ALL the time. It'd get super crowded at parties.

Isn't the point of parties to see how many people you can fit into a single room (non-studio) apartment? And when you have succeeded at filling every square foot you play the "move as a single entity" game? Have I been going to the wrong parties?
