Went to Benihana last night to celebrate Will's birthday a little late. AND koga's birthday was a couple days ago, so there was a little love in it for him too. Steve, Juliette, Bob, Becky, Jen and I all showed up early even though we live the furthest away from the place. Koga showed up on time, and then Will... well he has a little car trouble. He got over to Pep Boys and got a new battery for his car and was delayed a little longer. So we all drank a little more. Dinner was great as always, and as usual our clothing smells like Benihana. Gotta wash everything a couple times to get the smell out.

Then today on the way into work i found the lucky ass clown of the day. Now this one gets the award for 2 very distinct reasons. I turn onto La Cienega and this ass clown is in front of me in the left turn lane. She goes into the middle lane upon finishing her turn, and i go into the left lane. I begin to speed up, but then it seems that the middle lane is not exactly what she had in mind. So no signal, and very slowly she just creeps almost right into the side of my car. So i slow down now and am behind her. So now while i'm behind her i notice the 2nd reason she's an ass clown. She's got an american flag sticker in her back window. Now there are very specific rules for the display of the Flag of the United States of America, and all international flags. The side of a vehicle like a plane is always the one that cracks me up. You actually display a decal of the american flag flying from right to left (with the stars on the right) when its on a certain side of the plane. BUT you only display the flag upsidedown if you are in distress.

Sec 8 A of the US Flag code - # The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

So this assclown has a very pretty american flag sticker on her window. Its not just a plain rectangular sticker. It looks like the flag is waving in the wind. BUT its upside down. WTF can't you even put a sticker on your SUV correctly?
