I have a vase in my car so that I can keep fresh flowers in it and thereby be constantly surrounded by gorgeousness. So there.

You have a small bucket hanging from a suction cup in your car. So there.

You have a projectile suspended from a suction cup that will be the cause of much laughter by the Dr's in the OR.

There are so many things in my past that have been, well, difficult to explain to the insurance company and the folks in the ER. Oh, well.

does it involve rodents? Any guy that keeps flowers in his car is really gay. Even if your not homosexual your still gay

1
BeneventanOP•

You're, not your, a contraction of "you are": "Even if you're not homosexual, you're still gay.

I am not homosexual, as it happens, but I am also not a guy. I'm a middle-aged woman. My car has a number of stupid things in it: a cheap telescope so my husband and I can go out stargazing whenever we feel like it, a pair of binoculars and an Audobon bird guide, the straps for the kayak carrier... and a stupid flower bucket.

do you drive a volvo 240?

i miss that car very dearly. my first and favorite :[

BeneventanOP•

Yup-- it's a Volvo 240. A gray Volvo 240. It is the boxiest, most wonderfullest car evah.

It's gonna be awesome when you get in an accident and, instead of having some minor injuries from the airbag, now you'll need to get a metal flower pot surgically removed from someone's cranium.

But yay, flowers.

2
BeneventanOP•

Yay, flowers! No one will have to buy flowers for the funeral, because I've already provided them. They can spend their flower money on gin and cheap women, and enjoy my wake THAT MUCH MORE.

Ithacan•

What an odd, yet neat idea. I love it!

1
BeneventanOP•

If you're really an Ithacan, as your name implies, you might see me driving around with my flowers and my gray Volvo and my frightening Ithacan-ness.

1
Ithacan•

Yeah, I am. You pretty much described 60% of Ithaca though, haha.

EDIT: Wait, if this picture really WAS taken in Ithaca, where did you take it?

1
BeneventanOP•

Maple Avenue, when I was picking my husband up from work.

1
Ithacan•

Right by Cornell!

But if you get in an accident, the flowers will die.

highzenburg•

A good chance you will too.

NightOnTheSun•

That's cool! I always wanted to buy a pickup truck, fill the bed with dirt, and plant a tree in it.

Doesn't that drip all over when you're watering it?

1
BeneventanOP•

It splashes if I take a speed bump or a corner too fast. Luckily, I'm a really wimpy driver who rarely does ANYTHING too fast. Plus, y'know, yay flowers!

1
NightOnTheSun•

Yay flowers, indeed. Keep on keeping on.

I share my car with a man, and he thinks it's cute.

1
Teatoly•

Lucky you. Mine, however, hate having anything hang from their windshields. When I tried to add my own cute flair, they immediately took it down, claiming it inhibited their view.

2
BeneventanOP•

he has his own car, so I'm free to frou-frou mine up if I like.

1
zanthraxnl•

He thinks flowers are cute? I'm sorry but that's not a man.

1
BeneventanOP•

As his wife, I can assure you that he's a man. He's PLENTY of man.

Love it! :D

Yup, it's a Volvo 240. I love it. And I put flowers in it that are a possible hazard. Yay!

I myself thinks it's kinda' gay, but I don't mind all that much.

we're all thinking the same thing

1
BeneventanOP•

We are, it's true: I love triangles, too! Rhomboids are more my thing, but triangles have their charm.

This its god damn stupid. Buy a vw bug and a small yappy dog and be done with it.

Oh, and make sure to have the dog in the front seat with you cause that's safe.

1
BeneventanOP•

The new VW bug comes with a built-in bud vase, actually. I test drove one when they first came out, back when hooting flocks of pterodactyls swooped over the nation's highways.

2
Capolan•

Yes. I know. That's why I said it.

You should hang and old oil lamp from it then drive around town in the dead of night with no headlights on.
