Ok, ok, sorry for being so serious!

Now, where's the hot sauce and how would one go about barbequing an EDAR and what would it taste like anyway?

Back to the fun!

#1) rotary65 -- I did call you 'friend'

#2) sundae -- you're right. especially when it comes to the Every Sperm is Sacred crowd not really giving a good gawddamn about that Sperm once it's all grown up and needing a pot to piss in.

I'm in total agreement with you there.

Yes!!! I think I can fit my dog, and books in there; and still sleep comfortably. Nice! I might even be able to install a 2 stroke and headlights. Go mobile!

Which bring up a good point... $500 will get you a car, on Craigslist.

Getting it official costs a little more, and it may not actually run for very long, but it's a car and even provides an emergency, though pricey, source of heat.

Plus it may lock and prevent vandals from stealing your stuff.

Well, why don't you just put a hole right through my dreams then?

What if I can get it in a baby-blue color though?

And then, if they got into a "who has the worst drivers' license picture" conversation, they would totally win.

I slept in a car behind my bro's house for a week or so when I was a teenager. Not too bad. But I was a teenager. Prolly be rough now.

I think it's a great idea and I think it looks like a great design, and I don't doubt that $500 is remarkably cheap for what is involved..... but I seriously doubt that they are going to last as long as they are built for. Many homeless people are so because they're incapable of taking care of themselves, never mind their possessions. A lot of them need so much more than just a roof. I admire the sentiment, I'm concerned about it's practicality. I feel that at that cost, the charity needs to find some way to encourage them to take good care of it. many homeless are addicts to various different substances. When their need got bad enough, what would prevent them from trading it for a hit, or abandoning in search of a hit and it not being there when they come back? Will the charity also be providing locks? With loseable keys or forgettable combinations? they are so many people who prey on the homeless (including other homeless who are just higher up the pecking order and natural bullies/psychos....) this could just become another thing to beat them with unless there are so many they all get one..... maybe they could add thumbprint ID machines to unlock the wheels. But then what of the homeless lepers?

Sounds just like a ad hoc committee on the issue of the homeless. There is something wrong with every suggestion, so nothing at all gets done.
