Strange fits of thievery...and big puffy lips..

Alrighty...so last week as I was loading Brutus the big white dog into the subaru for the trip to the vet for his rabies shot (poor old fart, he can no longer leap joyously into and out of my car, so I get his front paws in and ppuuussshhh the remained of his 108lb bulk into the waggin) I happened to glance at my license plate and noticed...someone had taken the sticker with the year (here in Weargina when we renew our vehicle registration yearly/bi-yearly we get a little sticker with the new year on it to stick on our license plate..I am told is not the case elsewhere..s)
Anyway, the sticker I placed on it last October was gone..and instead of 07...it read 05.
So, twould appear someone had peeled off the new one...I dont know when..

I was sure having the luck of the Finns, that now that I was aware of this..I would get stopped by the po-lice wanting an explaination as to my expired status. (luckily I have the registration..and stopmedropme I actually had the receipt from the online purchase)
Obviously..this necessitated a pilgrimage to the local DMV. woo. and seeing as there is a branch near my place of enslavement I went on my lunch hour.
I expected it to be insane..so I was not irritated when it was packed..I welcomed the chance to do some people watching/mocking..and there are few placed better to do this than the DMV...for it is societies great equalizer..
I queued up and lo and behold I hit the weird people motherload..in front of me was a woman who had obviously had her lips recently injected with collagen...Having never seen this phenomenon up close I was fascinated by this. HER LIPS WERE HUGE..I mean Donald Duck...her face got stuck in a pool drain HUGE...and they were smeared generously with lip gloss as well...
I am completely at a loss as to the reasoning behind this procedure...it looks so completely unnatural (to this I offer Meg Ryan and her "trout pout" as an example) and I find it impossible to believe that they look in the mirror and see otherwise (much like low rise trousers/jeans...Do you not see that "muffin top" spilling over the top of the waistband?? Because we do, and we are mocking you) anyway I digress.
The DMV was a hoot, there was a big hairy man there with a teeny tiny little asian woman, she was his new wife...and she didnt speak English.
::blink:: ::blink::
Over there is the Abercromie & Fitch model loudly protesting his failure of the driving test, because the questions could be "open to intrepretation".
And a young latina wearing the the tightest jeans and tube top...I swear the temptation to press a spoon against a seam to see if she pops like a can of biscuits was so strong I had to dig through my purse for a mint, just to preoccupy my mind (no mint, but I did find a ring pop I bought my little angel and never gave to him...Cotton Candy flavored..yummm)

Anyway, an hourish later I was reapplying my 07 stickers to my plates again)..and it only cost me a dollar!
