Message of the Day – Convertibles
During the days of 80 degree temperature this past week and even into today, convertibles could be seen with their tops down. You know I had to take some pictures, right?
Mid-week most were driven by women.
The men were out by Friday.
Saturday the couples could be seen out enjoying the weather.
Some people, of course, didn't put their convertible tops down.It didn't matter how good the weather was.
Can you fill this non-car guy on what cars are being drivenAnd the identities, thanks to reader the car guy BEThomas are
1. Volkswagen Original Bug
2. Chrysler Lebaron
3. Chrysler Sebring
4. Cadillac XLR
5. Porsche Boxster
6. Ford Mustang
7. Looks like a volvo/mercedes or bmw
8. Corvette
9. Corvette
10. Porsche Boxter
11. Cadillac - not a convertible
12. Camaro
13. Sebring
14. Chevy Impala
15. Mazda Miata
So, no wonder number 11 didn't have its top down!

Transformer Pervert
Our family went to the McHenry Drive-In Theatre to see the movie “Transformers.”
My son, of course, knows all about Transformers.
As is typical with Hollywood, the movie had a subplot about clueless parents.
In one scene the beautiful 11th grade girl has climbed in the boy’s second floor bedroom. They are talking loud enough for the parents to hear them from downstairs.
The good transformers are outside trashing the lawn that the father so carefully tends. The boy is looking for his explorer grandfather's spectacles.
The robots are shining lights into the bedroom window that the parents see under the hall door.
The mother starts asking questions, one of which was:
Just what parents of a 10-year old wants to discuss during what should have been a G-rated movie.
But, wait.
It gets worse.
When the mom and dad see the girl, they don’t make a comment.
Their son seems to be the type who has never had a date in high school and they express no surprise that a pretty teen is in his bedroom.
And the parents reaction?
No problem.
So, who was the pervert in Hollywood responsible for these stunning lapses in judgment?
The Camaro transformer's name is Bumblebee. When he transforms he is a lot bigger.
And really cool.
My son, of course, knows all about Transformers.
How can one ever forget that kids’ television theme song?
“Transformers…
“Robots in disguise.
“Tranformers…
“More than meets the eye.”

“Were you masturbating?”“What’s masturbating mean?” my son asks.
