Wow, Thanks For the Shitty Gift

Def Leppard's Pyromania is on the radio right now, and for some reason it reminded me of Van Halen which then reminded me of a bad birthday gift I gave to someone in high school. I was dating this kid named Paul, and he loved Van Halen. I do believe he had a diver's license plate thingie on the front of his car that looked like the cover of the Diver Down album. I think he had it because he was a diver and not because of the album, but I digress. He was pretty psyched about this new used car he just got--a white Chevy Nova --so I went to K-Mart and bought him some air fresheners and fuzzy dice, and the piece de resistance: a gas pedal shaped like a bare foot. I remember asking him when he was going to install it. What a shitty gift! That's just terrible.

I wonder what ever happened to that gas pedal. Landfill, no doubt.

That is a kick ass gift. I honestly want one of those for the ol mini van.

I put lots of skateboard stickers on my van. I think it makes it look young and hip.

No really, I do it so I can find my stupid car

The parking lots are full of silver fucking ugly mini vans

just like mine...
