No, no, he's joking... I mean, he might be black, I don't know, but what he's getting at is: he's about to become Uncle Phil.
Aw, I thought he was gonna become The Shredder. 
Moved to a new city, transferred job to a new location.
New work location is in a city with a city tax.
Filled out all my tax paperwork, went to city to pay taxes.
Clerk tells me that, due to silly border things, my work location actually is NOT within the city limits, and so I get to keep my $62, plus don't have to pay future taxes, either.
Also validates my parking ticket and tells me to have a nice day.
I did.

This hasn't happened yet, but when it does it will be Epic. My son is going to an 80's themed sleepover at his school. I know it's going to be full of girls wearing neon spandex and boys in white jackets with fake wayfarers. As with the super 70's sleepover last year I could not let my kid be in the mainstream (I knew they'd all be hippies so I dressed him up as a Kiss fan including a concert shirt I made for him, don't remember if I posted pics here).
I am sending him as Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I only need to get him a wig. He's got the voice down pat because I told him to just imitate Crush from Finding Nemo. I can't wait!!

You know, I'm starting to think no one has actually seen this movie. I hear this a lot. "Ha yeah, that's the one with spicoli right? [insert bad impression, turn to friend and in loud whisper] I never actually saw it."
How is that possible? My friends and I have been watching it since elementary school. In retrospect, we were probably too young, but it was usually edited for TV, so... Aloha, Mr. Hand?
That, and it had a great 80's soundtrack, and a lot of now-famous actors. Wasn't it one of Nicolas Cage's and Eric Stoltz's first movies? (I had to look that up-it seems it was.) I always forget it has Forest Whittaker until I watch it.

Trust me, I saw it... Phoebe Cates had a VERY profound impact on puberty for me. 
Didn't know the name, Google Image...oooohhhh, her. Err, I have no idea what you're talking about. *cough*Trust me, I saw it... Phoebe Cates had a VERY profound impact on puberty for me.
I get the feeling you're going through puberty all over again.
I know...right?Trust me, I saw it... Phoebe Cates had a VERY profound impact on puberty for me.
That really surprises me. I always think of it as up there with the John Hughes 80's teen flicks.
With some "Hard R" elements.
THOSE I've never seen...
No Ferris Bueller or Breakfast Club?
Which also reminds me, I sent Noah to the last 80's sleepover as a cross between John Bender and Tom Cruise's character from Risky Business. I think I pick these guys because they are completely opposite from his personality. I'm lucky he just goes with it. LOL

Forgot about Ferris Bueller... that would be the only one, then.
I dunno about that. I'm younger than you, and I've seen all of the above many, many times due to cable and video rentals. But it could also be due to social habits. I'd say a lot of movie viewing between the ages of 7-15/16 was due to regular slumber parties that usually resulted in movie-marathons.
I'm only 4 years older than you and I know I didn't see it at a theater. I was only 10 or 11. I think my parents rented it or it was on tv (we had a satellite dish when they were enormous monstrosities).

Okay, so I don't know whether this fits here or in the minor rant thread.
When my dad died a couple years ago, because our car was in his name as the primary they took it. That left us with three drivers and one car. It was pretty much hell. We contacted my mom who does not drive - this is important - and asked if we could have/borrow/buy THEIR car because she wouldn't be using it any longer. It was completely paid for so it wouldn't have to have any changes in the bank, etc. My sister blocked it and said no because she would use it to drive mom around if she needed it. Basically, fuck you.
This morning I went out to my mom's because of my aunt...and my mom gave me the car. It had been driven like 4 times in the past two years. So now that I don't need it, she gives me the car I really needed two years ago.
Epic win: I now have a vehicle that has 89,000 miles on it. Of my three other cars, the lowest mileage is about 100k more than that.
Rant: Why the fuck didn't she just do this when I was really hurting and needed it?

Women, amirite?
Probably because of your sister's interference. Sounds like, if it was just your mom, she'd have said yes.
I can't believe it took me this long to think of this, but here we go:
If I were to have my own country and name it after me, I would name it Piersa.
Then I could be...The Prince of Piersa!

... but who would be king?
Eh, I'd have some empty figurehead that does all the day-to-day duties. Princes have more fun.
