After experiencing the multiple break-ins to my own car, I totally understand your attempt to get the guy. I myself had more granduer efforts which included electrocution but all very high in price in the long run. So I stand here, arms raised in the air, applauding your scheme to get the low life. I will remember this the next time my car has a break in. Really miss seeing you on The Screen Savers with all your craziness. Too bad that so-called network COMCAST doesn't have a clue and really screwed up a good thing which corporations usually do. Keep doing the thing that martin does so well!!!!

Of course not self inflicted as part of a diabolical plot. Mine stemmed from fish balls from a Chinese place on the other side of the bridge abutment where the freight train hauling high fructose corn syrup derailed a few months back. Desecrating a Pringles can for any less high purpose seems low, but after reading that Craigslist post and Googling Olestra, I must give my blessing.

He had taken my wallet, my cell phone and the small lunch bag I carry peanutbutter crackers in for when my blood sugar gets dangerously low. I must have been walking for an hour looking for someone, anyone who would lend a hand to a mugged and carless soul. That's when I started getting shaky. When you're diabetic and your blood sugar starts to crash you start to get the shakes - a signal that your body is running on fumes. I've been in this territory before and I know where it can lead. Moneyless and without a way to even call for help, I'm as close to being homeless as I've ever been. Thanks to my earlier decision to get lunch *after* I got fuel and the fact that I was jacked when I was leaving the Mobil station made me feel like a hungry hobo indeed. As I wandered through this urban desert, populated only with broken down cars and trash cans my eyes started searching the sidewalks and alleys. One of these trash cans is going to have an uneaten doughtnut, or some other sugary or starchy snack that will keep me alive for a few more hours. Then I saw it. Seemingly an oasis - the Pringles can. Surely they're stale I thought, abandoned here when this car was last driven, probably months before. Yes, they've got to be stale, but they'll do. I ripped open the can and without taking even a cursory sniff I withdrew an inch stack and jammed it in my gob. . . Meanwhile, half-way acorss the blogosphere. . .

But more shocked that you manage to drive an '84 Caddy in CA and haven't been taken out by the EPA freaks. And I will certainly never look at Pringles the same again.... I’m slightly disturbed.
