Nylon

Great people get bridges named after them. Tappan is named after the bridge. Last week, Mr. Tappan Zee bought a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid autographed by the Terminator. It was auctioned on eBay in order to help with the California debt (I think). So when I was asked to drive this piece of history to South Pasadena, I just couldn't say no. So I had my mom take me to our fine state's capital to pick up this work of art and drive it 500 miles to bring it to him.

On another note, my sister came home from her first week of college wearing these:

These are the reactions of family members and friends:

Mom - I have to put my sunglasses on.

Peter - Did you spray paint your shoes?

My sister's response - They're Nylon! Limited edition!

Peter - Did you buy those from Dr. Suess?
My dad's reaction - Those are blue.

Way to state the obvious, Dad.

This is what her tuition money was spent on.

An online survey yielded the following reactions:
Lindsay - Those are hideous.
How much does one pay for those god awful things?
Jillian - Those. are. ugly. So. ugly.
Kevin - I used to have shoes like that.
Really?
