Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Play the ‘Laser Crowd’ Game

I’m good at moving through crowds, like a laser beam.

Helps that I’m little, and that I’ve been playing “laser through the crowd” forever.

How to play ‘Laser Crowd’

The goal is to make it to the destination fast as possible, going straight through the crowd. No moving on the fringe, no running.

Points are deducted if anything/one touches you, and points are added for cool moves, like, squeezing untouched through an impossible space as it closes, or fancy footwork.

Wasn’t shopping, just passed through during my walk, to get a taste of Boxing Day.

Lasted 12 minutes.

We wear a lot of black in Toronto, eh.

 

 

The ‘Go Out with Just This’ Game

Nothing else… no purse, no chapstick, no stuff…
just one bill, and the key to the front door.

Feels freeing.

My thinking is: 99% of the time, $20 will solve whatever situation you got yourself into. 

The game’s advanced level is: no phone.

I Win the ‘Driven the Most Expensive’ Game

The car world is often about one-up-manship, so in those situations I say this:

Human: what’s the most expensive thing you’ve driven, Keri?
Me: You go first
Human: Bentley Continental GT, $276,000
Me: Warship, $millions

I say it with a smirk, because it’s a stretch for sure, but, technically I win.

Video still proof:

See the uneasy in my eyes? The thing is so tippy.

In 2009 I sailed for 2 nights with the ship, from Toronto to Sarnia.

Here is Episode #33/80 – ‘Exploring the Canadian Navy’

FF to 2:40 to watch the driving part.

At the end that’s me in uniform, firing that huge cannon. See me flinch? Exactly; natural gunner.

Here’s the blog post with more about the trip, and here’s the post about how I got myself home from Sarnia (hitchhiked on a plane).

There’s a big backstory to this episode you don’t know (because I never told you), but one day I will; it’s pretty good.

 

 

Remove the License Plate Brackets

Those plastic, flimsy things emblazoned with a dealership’s name… they have to go.

Favourite line:

… the worst offenders seem to be exotic car owners. Play a game today: spot an exotic withOUT one.

Looks sloppy and unfinished.

 

See how much better it looks when removed?
Clean, polished, finished.
