Penny Time

"Penny Time" was invented by me.

A friend of mine had a little daughter who had plumber's butt all the time. I don't know why she had her crack showing a lot, though..maybe the pants' elastic band was getting weak or the pants itself was bit bigger. Well, come to think of it, when the kid is little, you should have tendency to buy bit bigger clothing anyway... The kid is gonna out-grow the clothes pretty quick...

I kept telling her to pull her pants up but she failed to do so often because she was into what she was doing at the time. I got tired of seeing her crack soon so I decided to put a penny in there as I yelled, "Penny Time!!" She was shocked and angry at me at the time, but figured what has happened right away and thought it was funny. After that, every time I see her plumber's butt, all I had to do was saying" Oh! Penny time?", then she would quickly pull her pants up to cover her butt.

Her dad/my friend often did plumber's butt, too. He had bit over-sized Dickie's work pants; every time he bent over, his crack was exposed. The little girl asked me for a penny when her dad's ass crack was right in front of us. Without thinking twice, I gladly handed her one. As she yelled, "Penny Time!!", she slid the penny into the crack like it was a slot machine. Her dad was immediately pissed and yelled back at us with complain. However, we could not stop laughing looking at him all pissed off about the little penny, which made him more angry; more he got pissed, the more we giggled.

The little girl became a fan of "penny time". She started to ask for penny whenever she sees a plumber's butt, regardless of where she was. Yep, she wanted to put a penny in a total stranger's ass crack in a Wal-Mart. I also did many penny times to adult especially when I was drunk. Many guys were very upset when I did that. I don't know why they get pissed off that easy.... Maybe the little boy in them has died already.

The little girl has grown since ( 9 and Half, she said) and I don't have much chance to hang with her anymore. But, every time I see plumber's butt on even a cute lady with a tramp stamp, all I can think about is putting a penny in there and giggle with the little girl.


Say "No!" to crack.

Good Ol' TOYOTA

Toyota motors is taking a lot of beating right now. Start from faulty gas pedal, floor mat on popular models and 2010 model Prius' brake and now they are talking about other models' steering system. It is almost like picking on a kid who are already down and crying.

Toyota has been known as most reliable vehicles on market and the expectation was almost unrealistic one point, yet the company was chasing the maximum efficiency in factories so this might have been bound to happen. The company had never lost money making cars since its establishment in 1937 till 2 years ago.



My family has been a big Toyota fan/supporter and as far as I remember, they have been purchasing generations of Toyotas. When I was a kid, my dad had Corona Mark II. I remember taking lots of family road trips with the car. I never saw him fixing or working on it; it was a great vehicle that you can rely on.

Back then, my dad smoked. In early 70’s, almost all of male adults smoked everywhere, including hospitals, schools, and of course in passenger cars or any other public transportation, regardless of presence of pregnant women or children. Yeah, they said it was safe and non addictive....
I don’t really remember utilizing seat belt back then.. Well, we did have seat belts in the Mark II, but they were usually buried between seat and back rest. I did push it even deeper so that buckles will not hurt my butt. My dad’s smoke filled up the small car and always made me sick and often felt like puking. I was afraid of my dad so I could not tell him that I was getting sick and wanted him to stop the car. He hated wimpy kids. I was not allowed to be one….I puked inside of the car many times and often sticking my head out from the window of the running Mark II, shooting out half digested junk food I had eaten earlier from my mouth. I was smacked by my father every time I did that until he got tired of yelling and smacking. He finally told me that it was okay to ask him to stop the car if I got sick. So I did since then, but after my dad stopped the car in the middle of no where, I got out of the car to throw up, the sickness often disappear as soon as I was outside of the car…The puke did not come out of my mouth. Then I was afraid of my dad yelling at me for making him stop the car for nothing. I quickly learned to utilize my finger to induce vomiting. (The use of finger came in handy in my heavily drinking days.)

All the time, I had no idea that cigarette smoke was the reason I was getting sick from. It was not car sick… Come to think of it, I have never gotten motion sickness even on a small boat in a windy day. Anyway, I felt very nostalgic about Corona Mark II. They made pretty cool cars in 60's and 70's.
A few years ago, I saw the exact model of mark II was on sale at Craig's list in Seattle for $2200. I seriously thought about getting it at the time. That would be the first time for me to actually ride the car and not getting sick.

I hope Toyota fix all those problems and recovers from this mess real soon and start making more cars that keep going like psycho ex-girl friends.
