		<description><![CDATA[(Continued from Part 1)
Fred and I waited for someone to pick up the phone. Now that I knew the vacation spiff was worthless, there was no way I was going to pay MSRP for the Ranger. It&#8217;s simply a matter of principle.
No one was answering, so I made my way down to the salesman&#8217;s office. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, long-time followers of this blog will have a pretty good sense of what I think of the dealership car buying experience. It&#8217;s pretty much a blood sport. At this point, though, I&#8217;ve had so many bouts in the ring (a.k.a. the salesman&#8217;s cubicle) that I&#8217;m starting to give as good as I get.

		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I weighed 235lbs. I wore XL shirts and pants with a waist size of 38&#8243; or 40&#8243;. I had trouble breathing when I bent over to tie my shoes. I caught colds rather easily. I snored like a Husqvarna. I was really quite fat and out of shape.

		<description><![CDATA[My Papa, a wise, wise man, pointed out this universal truth to me many years ago, when I was a child. It remains a fact as true as ever, so I&#8217;m going to share it with you now:
You can&#8217;t trust dish scrubbers.
You know what I&#8217;m talking about. Those thingies you buy at the grocery store [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People who commute to downtown Toronto from South Etobicoke via Lakeshore Boulevard will know specifically what I&#8217;m talking about here, but I think everyone knows of someplace where a similar drama unfolds on a daily basis.
Just past Lakeshore and Park Lawn, the civil engineers worked a bottleneck into the eastbound Lakeshore lanes. At first I [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a standard bit of pseudo-latin that goes into page layouts before the copy has been finalized. But that&#8217;s boring: everyone&#8217;s using it. So a few of us at the office yesterday were thinking that we could use [...]]]></description>

Either they get misplaced, left behind someplace, or the little stopper thingy in them gets lost, rendering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cybersquatting is wrong, period.
You don&#8217;t take somebody else&#8217;s personal or business name, add .info or .net to it, and register it as your own. And you especially don&#8217;t try to mislead Internet users into thinking the site they&#8217;ve arrived at is sponsored by the entity whose name you&#8217;ve stolen.
