Also, seriously, why would I keep a transperson in my van? I was pretty sure that by specifying "in my van" it would be clear that i meant transmission, but everyone took it the other way.

you mean i'm not the only one to think that? thank god.

although.. i think it's the bit where you woke the transgirl's brother up later that confused the issue.

no, i woke the insomniacs brother up, but i see how that went there.

Well, we all figured it out eventually....

If I were in your shoes, I would be asking myself, "what is it that makes people pictures me as the sort of person who might be keeping a transgendered person in my van? Is it something about me, or is it something about my friends?" :g:

I thought it was some bizarre slang or past reference that slipped by me!

It has nothing to do with who you are and much more to do with the fact that no one I know calls a transmission that. I was only confused for a second.

probably this.

though i grew up with transmissions being called "trannies".

Maybe it's regional? or depends on how much time you spend with mechanics?

i grew up around mechanics. no input on the regional part.

Well, I read this entry before I got to that one in my friends feed, but OMG, having read this first I had a major laugh when I got to that point.

I am hearing the voice of Chris Farley tagging "down by the river!" at the end of that.

Obviously, I need a nap.

It makes no sense, I agree. But is hilarious nonetheless.

I want to make a Spider Jerusalem/Transmetropolitan joke here.

Everyone took it that way because they were all sleep-deprived! :-)

Actually, hope you get some sleep soon! Sleep deprivation is the pits.
