I have been a member and reading Prius Chat for about 9 months now. Love the group. I do notice however a plethora of posts voicing concerns, complaints and well just down right Hostility towards "Toyota Salesman". Some rightfully so! To that end I composed a reply to a particular dealers shenanigans. I think that it is worth putting out as a thread dedicated to "THOSE" Toyota Salesman who for whatever reason have offended we Prius owners, and soon to be Prius Buyers. So now on BBC1... Act 1 Scene 5 'Burn the Toyota Salesman!' CARBUYERS: [chanting] Prius Iesu domine, dona eis Prius requiem. [bonk] Prius Iesu domine,... [bonk] ...dona eis Prius requiem. [bonk] Prius Iesu domine,...

PRUSCHATTERS: Oh, yeah. Oh. KK6PD: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood? JAYMAN: Build a bridge out of her, and drive a SUV across her! KK6PD: Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone? JAYMAN: Oh, yeah. RANDOM: Oh, yeah. True. Uhh... KK6PD: Does wood sink in water? JAYMAN: No. No. DOC WILLIE: No, it floats! It floats!

It took a little digging, but here's proof positive that great minds really do think alike: http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-main-forum/3030-should-i-embarrassed.html#post26877
Its funny, in 1976 when PBS was first running Monty Python, I was an Engineer at a Local Access station (My 1st job WOW!) I had access to the first commercial grade VTR's. At that time they were HUGE. Cassettes were the size of books, and I would set the recorder to timer record MPFC EVERY Sunday night. When sufficient episodes were recorded, I "borrowed" the VTR and on Saturday night we would have MPFC parties. Truely an engineering event before its time, largest monitor I could fit into my van, audio through the stereo at high volume, and we would all get very drunk and laugh ourselves till it hurt watching the shows. I would record 4 shows in a row,party, anther 4 shows, anther party. when we ran out of new episodes, RERUNS, it didn't matter. Always has been, and always will be an influence on my life!!! So has the Firesign Theatre. After all, We are all Bozo's on this bus!!! KK6PD
WOW!!!! Firesign Theater - I haven't heard a reference to them in - oh, say 30-35 years. They were incredible, especially while high on illegal substances. Thanks for reminding me. I think I have 8 tracks or cassettes of some of their albums up in the attic. I have no idea what happened to the albums I had. Civilization HO!!!!
Out of the Fog, and into the Smog he walks Ruthlessly, (I wonder where Ruth is) He's Nick Danger 3rd Eye. "My nostrils flared at the scent of his perfume: Pyramid Patchouli. There was only one joker in L.A. sensitive enough to wear *that* scent...and I had to find out who he was!" - That joker was Rocky Rococo KK6PD
Wow, Is it something about Prius owners that they appreciate the higher level humor of Monty Python? Just received the entire boxed Megaset of their series....................
I broke down and bought the entire set on VHS at Costco, one week before they put out the DVD set for the same price Rob
Nooobody expects the 2010 Prius Gen 3 exhibition!!! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and ... oh, damn that Bossdowner!
