          /Gaaaaasp!/, it's the Lane Motor Museum's Thing and they didn't put it online. Most of their collection is up there, though: https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection/alphaindex/v

                Hi Stef, these are hardly the chi-chi accommodations you are used to yet. Compared to the average bolthole it's barely cramped or perilous though.

                Hope you and rest of the past and present Jalopnik alumni are doing well.

                    Is it just me or does Stef always seem supremely happy? It brightens my day just to see a pic or her and her rally chicken. lol

                      You two are pretty cute, if you don't mind me saying it! (please take that as from an uncle to a niece, or something ♥ )

                      That's a good thing!

                        Why does my emoji turn into a duck?

                          Ducks quack. Chickens cluck. Quacking is the clearly superior noise.

                          Although it is 100% necessary to make quacking noises any time you're near a duck. (Wait. You mean my wife and I are the only ones who do this?) Which I guess could get exhausting if you're always near a duck.

                            I wish I was that happy, but my life is crap. Everyone else seems to be able to get ahead in life, and I'm just...here. Maybe I'll get hit by a Thing?

                            Animal noises are all good, however, the moo is the real winner.

                              @3point8isgreat I don't do it at ducks but 100% every time I see a goose. My wife doesn't but she laughs when I do it. I also had a neighbor that had a goat, I bleated at him when I walked past their yard also sometimes when I see a cow.

                              My goose honk has gotten pretty good too...

                              Typing all that out makes me think I may be insane - hmmm might need to look into that.

                                @jminer I always just complain about how mean geese are when I see them.

                                My duck quacking even occurs when running. The dream is to have a little land, a small pond, some ducks, and teach my future kids to walk around with them while quacking.

                                Cows and horses its always just exclaiming "Moo cows!" Or "Hoses!" Yes, hose. Not horse. My 2 year old niece always called them "hoses" before she got her R's down. So it kind of stuck. I even nicknamed our horse Hosemary.

                                At least if we are insane, we arent the only ones.

                                Edit: and I totally bleat at sheep and goats too. Its impossible not to.

                                  That was one of those sneaky dad jokes that shouldn't be funny.

                                  Only animal I talk with is loudly saying "Here Turkey, Turkey" whenever I come across one. Geese on the other hand get honked (horn) and freely cursed at by nearly everyone when they decide to venture into the road.

                                    @stef-schrader Things will eventually turn around, it just takes time and patience. I know that's not much more than an empty platitude at this point, but you have lived an awesome life so far, it seems, and you're way too talented for your work to be ignored for long. ♥

                                        I still live at home at 34 (by choice, saving up for a house so I don't blow money I can never retrieve on an apartment) and have been sub teaching since 2011 and almost no nearer to getting a permanent position, so I feel your pain there....

                                              @rallydarkstrike I feel this. Things are bad! Except Volkswagen Things, as in the car. hugs

                                              ("Volkswagen things" as in my Lemons car...okay, those are still bad. I wish it ran.)

                                              @JeRC1500 I'm always disappointed that Bob isn't a default emoji in Slack. Those developers owe some royalties to the Church of the SubGenius.

                                                Oh, I'm not too upset...things will come, it just gets me down on occasion. I probably could've afforded my own place this year even, but COVID screwed that over due to...well, COVID, itself, but also the fact that it made the housing market go NUTS here, it's really a sellers market around where I live. One place in a REALLY shitty neighbourhood in the city sold for 100k over asking 0_o

                                                ....so I'm going to be here for at least another year...

                                                  Now now, everyone else seems to believe triple mortgaging a house and leasing a string of vehicles costing 3x their actual salary is actually getting ahead. Don't go jumping out in front of any rare vehicles and keep your chin up.
