I kid you not. I was going to tell you this long, really funny story about my husband, but, I have coworkers that occasionally read my blog and that’s not something that I want getting back to him! So, instead, I’m bringing you this truly disturbing YouTube video that a friend showed me two nights ago (was going to post then, but it was just before bedtime, and I was too busy yesterday.

So, I was talking to a friend via Skype and I started pestering about Bakugan. My nephew is totally into this, and since I have no idea what it’s about I had to do some research. Since I had to do the research anyway, I decided to take advantage of it and build a lens on it.

So, I’m chatting away about Bakugan board games, 700g Bakugan (seriously, I have no idea what this means, I think it’s a power thing?), and my friend asks me what Bakugan is. So, in a case of the blind leading the blind, I tell him it’s a cross between Transformers and Pokemon. Then I tell him that I’m too young for Transformers and too old for Pokemon. He asks how old I am, I say 29 turning 30 in like 12 days, and he says he’s 27 and HE’s not too young for Transformers, and I said “Yeah, but I’m a girl.”. So his response is “My Little Ponies?”, and mine is an embarrassed yes.

Next thing you know, he posts a link to this video.

If you don’t know who Rammstein is, they’re an awesome German band that apparently writes songs about incest, which is sick. But it’s in German, so no one really knows if that’s a rumor or truth unless they actually speak German and then you have to work on the basis that they’re not lying. Their Du Hast was insanely popular a few years back, and I still love it.

Update: I just found Spongebob singing Rammstein’s Du Hast. So had to include this.

I’m fairly certain that I told you all about our great fortune in getting our newest vehicle? If  not, let me refresh your memory.

Our trusty old van, the one that’s been in the family since 1995, has begun having transmission problems. In fact, it slips out of gear several times even on short trips, though not EVERY time we drive it. Pretty close, though. Anyway, we were about 2 weeks away from sucking it up and going to a car lot. Lo and behold, a good friend at work approached my husband just as we began discussing our need for a new vehicle and offered us his old van at less than half its retail value.

I’m pretty attached to my old van, and I don’t like white vehicles, so it actually took some doing to convince me to buy it even though my husband was in love at first sight. The thing is, while I love our new van now, we’re both stupidly attached to the old one. So, despite there being all of two in our family, we have 3 vehicles to insure.

I have tenure at my insurance company, and he has tenure at his. Neither of us wants to give up our insurance company! But, things are tight and we’re seriously discussing looking into dumping my insurance and moving the old Ford onto hubs’ insurance. I’m already a secondary driver on his insurance, and the van isn’t actually worth anything, so it would probably save us $30-40 a month. The question is, is that worth it?

If we lived in the south I’d probably start looking for cheap liability insurance tx, but here in the north, insurance tends to run a bit more. Getting a number of different quotes is the best way to make sure that you’re getting the best deal on insurance, and I certainly did that when I moved on from my junker car (my first car, Honda Accord and I HATED that sucker!) to my first real car (Olds Cutless Supreme SL- and I LOVED that sucker, still miss it). That’s how I ended up going through an insurance brokerage instead of directly through the insurance companies. I had no idea what I needed, and my agent worked with me to get the best coverage to cost ratio. Seriously, I think that a lot of insurance agents are sharks, but since I went to him AFTER making all those calls myself, I really think of him as a Godsend.

Now, to decide what to do with my sweet old Ford.a href=”http://www.cheap-autoinsurance.com/texas-auto-insurance.htm”>cheap liability insurance tx
