3. Five things you would do (I changed it to “have”)  if you were a billionaire: 1. Multiple houses on multiple continents 2. private jet to take me away, 3. a 100 foot yacht (any bigger and inland waterways are inaccessible) 4. helluva tax advisor, 5. lots ‘o’ theme parties.

4. Three of your habits: Tailgating, picking my nose, saying “no” too quickly.

5. Five jobs that you’ve have had: delivering Grit, the weekly newspaper,  de-suckering apple trees, working at the mill for my dad, cleaning welding residue off fork truck cages, subbing delivering the Hillsdale Daily News, all before I started my “career.”

My skeptic’s curse sometimes is a real blessing.

It’s slowly coming out that James Sikes might have an angle. Wait! A 61 year old real estate salesman in SoCal might have an angle? Stop the presses.

The full 911 call is here if you want to listen to 23 minutes of unintended acceleration.

First up: the Prius. Even I know that in order to stop a runaway, all the experts say to try two things immediately:

1. Press and HOLD the start button. This is how you kill the engine. Sikes kept telling the 911 dispatcher he was pushing the button repeatedly.

2. Put the car in neutral. Here’s part of the twenty minute 911 tape that wasn’t aired.

911: “Is there a way you can put the car in neutral, sir?”
Sikes: “No.”
911: “No? Have you tried to put it in neutral?”
Sikes: “I’m trying to control the car.”
911: “Okay. Have you tried to put the car in neutral?”
Sikes: “No.”
911: “Can you try that?”
Sikes: (no response)
911: “Sir?”
Sikes: (no response)
911: “Can you try to put the vehicle in neutral?”
Sikes: (no response)

Second up: Sikes later said he was afraid to put the car in neutral because…

he would be hit by another vehicle if his car halted too suddenly. “There were cars all around me. They were passing me left and right…They kept someone on the line but I couldn’t hold onto the phone.

Third up: He is a real estate agent from SoCal. The epicenter of the real estate bubble. The highest court of litigation. The center stage of reality television.

Fourth up: He owns a Corvette. I understand that 90 mph in a Prius is a lot different than 90 mph in a ‘Vette. But certainly this guy has had some experience with high speed travel while talking on his cell phone. So what’s the deal with his heavy breathing and not being able to hold onto the phone?

Yeah, right.

I’m petitioning to have his Corvette recalled and his membership in the San Diego Corvette Owner’s Club suspended pending the NITSA investigation.

Of course, she really didn’t because she is totally irresponsible and would never think of giving me an award.

So I just took it.

You should too. But only if you get shit done.

Otherwise, she has another award that you should take.

Most domain names end in .com or .net or .org…other countries have their own Top Level Domains.

• Canada is  .ca
• Ireland is .ie
• Dominican Republic .do
• Russia is .ru
• American Samoa is .as
• United Kingdom is .uk or .gb
• Italy .it

CanadaCanada Ireland Dominican Republic  - Dominican Republic Russia United Kingdom American Samoa Italy? or in layman’s terms:

Caca, that is do-do, are you uck as it? (you think you can do better, give it a go, here’s the list)

(.ca .ie .do .ru .uk .as .it)

Oh that was so vacuous, even I don’t get it.

Yep, (yournamehere).com is no longer good enough. Or you can reserve (yournamehere).com for your serious self.
.me is all about the fun.

I have a weakness for domain names.  I now own fifteen. At one time or another I have owned:

• DogsWithCones.com
• AsianWomenHoldingThings.com
• FourDaysOnly.com
• SaleEndsSunday.com

(Those were all sold and now link to various spammy ad sites or are back up for sale.)

These domain names redirect back to this page:

• GoingLikeSixty.net
• GoingLike60.com
• BabyBoomerGoingLikeSixty.com

And others are for other blogs including BBQandBourbon.com and a few others that I run covertly.

But my  recent acquisition is perhaps my best.

MVP are the initials I use. My real full name initials would be MLVP, but my underwear monogrammer just goes nuts (pun!) trying to figure out which initial should be larger than the rest. It’s a burden I bear.

That’s pretty cool, right? Here’s what my bedroom monogram would be… except the V part doesn’t represent my middle name.

So now I am having great trouble concentrating on anything… I’m thinking of all the great domain names I should buy. This video is pretty close to how my mind is working.

Bite.me (it’s taken)
