For simplicity purposes, I am gonna make it clear that CP is practically my brother. Except way snottier and usually a pain in the ass. So I can poke fun at him all I want.
CP story #1 - Fucking Rock Stars
I've finished designing the initial looks and splash page for the newest incarnation of his band, Corsaire. You can boost his ego and web stats by checking it out here.
CP story #2 - BMWs, not unlike Porsches
I got a call while I was searching for something to do in Austin on Sunday from my panicked sister. She informed me that CP's car had died, and had I left my car keys at home. I hadn't, but my mom has a spare set. So CP borrowed my car while I was out of town.
On Tuesday, Bean came and picked us up from the airport. I was dreading coming back home for a variety of reasons. All I really wanted to do was go home and lay in my bed. My wonderful, glorious bed. My high-thread count and down filled mattress pad covered bed. With my warm, canine body pillow named Truffle.
About halfway down Belmont, Bean gets a call from CP. He had left the interior light on in my car, and the battery was dead. In any other car, big fucking deal. But this bitch is a BMW, and everything is a big fucking deal when it comes to them. When you put your key in the front doors and unlock them, it unlocks all doors, including the trunk. However, if there is no juice to unlock all the doors from say, the battery, then the other doors no unlocky. So what, right?
The battery is in the trunk.
So why don't you just unlock the trunk manually with the key, or use the trunk popper in the car?
My trunk key thingee is broken, and there is no trunk release in the car.
Radical.
So CP has to call AAA and wait an hour and a half for a driver to come out. When the driver finally arrives, he has no success opening the trunk. However, he is scrappy and knows a trick that works on Porsches. He goes underneath the car and jumps the engine directly, apparently attaching the jumper cables directly to my car's g-spot.
No one is ever using my car again. EVER.
Incredible. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way at time. Thanks for sharing.
