99 useless bits and another reason to hate me.

Would have been Disneyland, but our (cheapskate) passes don't work on holidays.

Why don't you dig out your car, pack up and come for a little vacation?

Oh, the economy.  Too bad.  Maybe next year when global warming is only affecting Southern California and my cute winter coats and scarves are collecting dust.  Maybe I will pack up my car and come out for some snow?

So, when you are done with all of the hating, do you want to learn super useless facts about me?
