<a href="http://groups.myspace.com/croncastcronies">Join Croncast Cronies</a> . . . thanks to all those signed up already!.<br>
<br>
Early intro to explain this show has lots of the electric popping noise in it. I thought I had this figured out for the show recording but I didn't. However, I did find a solution after today's show was recorded . . . clear shows from here on out.
<br><br>
My windscreen smells like a pack of condoms<br>
What you got in your suitcase?<br>
Yeah it has packed since I left for Colorado<br>
OK Kris,  mine smells like a today's sponge left out for four days<br>
It's been 3 weeks since we have done a show with just us<br>
The untold story, I almost didn't go to Colorado, Kris<br>
Is this like Slowsky?<br>
We fly in the face of karma<br>
I preemptively heed the warnings<br>
Four days out from leaving for Boulder it begins<br>
Like the Volvo won't come out of park again<br>
OK Blackwater Betsy<br>
They drag the old decrepit bitch in<br>
Volvo of Lisle has repaired it for the 4th time<br>
They give me a Hyundai<br>
We know what the problem is mam . . . you dripped some soda in there<br>
No, look at the record . . . this is the 4th time<br>
If I can't drink soda in my car remove the cup holders<br>
The problem is that everything in the gear shifting area has been replaced<br>
Splenda is not sugar, it is a secret ingredient in concrete<br>
Now I owe the dealership $300<br>
That is one less cool experience at Elk Mountain Resort<br>
How am I going to help you out? I will be in San Francisco<br>
That would be cash at hand<br>
Your guilt and negativity goes both ways<br>
I get to the DMV with Gigi on my hip to get new plates<br>
Line to another line to another line<br>
Boss Hog will drag you out by your ear<br>
Don't get out of hand Ms. Mommy pant<br>
Can we get a supervisor over here?<br>
I know that is the auditor<br>
Mam, your plates are illegal!<br>
Oh, now I am going to be arrested at the DMV<br>
I end up in a line with bikers<br>
A line full of the scariest men<br>
They all keep trying to talk to Goo<br>
I've never seen a baby give that look<br>
She's not going to ride bitch to anybody<br>
She'll be leading your gang in 10 years<br>
I know exactly what the problem is<br>
There is only one man in Springfield who can take care of this<br>
The bikers, Skanky and Skanky<br>
It turns out that Skanky wants to sell his car to Skanky<br>
Maggie hears the guy yell and she freaks out<br>
Now I am freaking out<br>
All your fault Mr. B<br>
Your likability was going down by the day<br>
The plates from Slowsky moved over to Volvo<br>
I don't own the Volvo, you do Kris!!!!<br>
What if I want to hit the road in peace?<br>
Thanks Oprah<br>
I was in there for 53 minutes<br>
I got sucked in to other peoples drama as I waited<br>
Betsy gets attacked by a tick<br>
Now she needs to tell the neighborhood<br>
The neighbor tells her that she just got back from New Jersey<br>
She was there to help out a family member that got sick from a tick bite<br>
The ticks in New Jersey know your name before they attack<br>
This is all happening the night before you leave<br>
Thank god the Elk Mountain staff is released early every morning to remove all ticks and flea dip the deer<br>
I will never have a vacation as good as this because I am married to you<br>
Oh, you are too kind baby<br>
I was holed up 30 miles from Boulder in a hotel by the highway<br>
They call themselves suburbs, but they don't know<br>
Working late at night doing the nerd thing<br>
I get to the hotel late<br>
You're supposed to have a non-smoking . . . don't have it<br>
You're supposed to have king . . . don't have it<br>
The room smelled musty and like nothing I had smelled before<br>
All this while I have to rationalize hopping into a bed that a lot lizard just has sex with a trucker in<br>
The next morning I wake up and head down to the front desk<br>
I bitch and moan then realize that this girl is 11 years old<br>
I ask to be moved to another room<br>
She reaches into her pocket and pulls cell phone<br>
A roadside motel run by pre-teens<br>
"I can't move you but my mom can. I can call her to come down here."<br>
I rolled on out<br>
I came back the next night and asked to be moved again<br>
We can move you . . . but not for three days<br>
I then get the burrito craving<br>
Qdoba happens to be open right next to the truck stop<br>
You're gonna have to re-wrap that burrito<br>
Why?<br>
Beans were falling out of it<br>
He looks at me, "Sir you need to understand . . . if you bit into this it will explode in your face."<br>
This can't be fucking happening<br>
I am going to eat it here and cut it in half<br>
His eyes twinkle . . . are you sure that you don't want us to cut it . . . I have a really big knife<br>
His concern for my burrito did not go unnoticed<br>
Colorado out to get me . . . three months ago<br>
Stop Mr. B you can't tell this story we've gone too long<br>
We'll be in Seattle on Thursday!!! <br>
If you can make a live show we'll be doing it<br>
If more than 6 people want to come we need to get a place to do it<br>
I have one fan . . .Mexico Mike, total troll<br>
Selling mescaline by the highway<br>
I'll be in on the 8th at 10 am<br>
We'll be there for our 11th anniversary<br>
Why spend alone we want you<br>

<br>
Early intro to explain this show has lots of the electric popping noise in it. I thought I had this figured out for the show recording but I didn't. However, I did find a solution after today's show was recorded . . . clear shows from here on out.
<br><br>
My windscreen smells like a pack of condoms<br>
What you got in your suitcase?<br>
Yeah it has packed since I left for Colorado<br>
OK Kris,  mine smells like a today's sponge left out for four days<br>
It's been 3 weeks since we have done a show with just us<br>
The untold story, I almost didn't go to Colorado, Kris<br>
Is this like Slowsky?<br>
We fly in the face of karma<br>
I preemptively heed the warnings<br>
Four days out from leaving for Boulder it begins<br>
Like the Volvo won't come out of park again<br>
OK Blackwater Betsy<br>
They drag the old decrepit bitch in<br>
Volvo of Lisle has repaired it for the 4th time<br>
They give me a Hyundai<br>
We know what the problem is mam . . . you dripped some soda in there<br>
No, look at the record . . . this is the 4th time<br>
If I can't drink soda in my car remove the cup holders<br>
The problem is that everything in the gear shifting area has been replaced<br>
Splenda is not sugar, it is a secret ingredient in concrete<br>
Now I owe the dealership $300<br>
That is one less cool experience at Elk Mountain Resort<br>
How am I going to help you out? I will be in San Francisco<br>
That would be cash at hand<br>
Your guilt and negativity goes both ways<br>
I get to the DMV with Gigi on my hip to get new plates<br>
Line to another line to another line<br>
Boss Hog will drag you out by your ear<br>
Don't get out of hand Ms. Mommy pant<br>
Can we get a supervisor over here?<br>
I know that is the auditor<br>
Mam, your plates are illegal!<br>
Oh, now I am going to be arrested at the DMV<br>
I end up in a line with bikers<br>
A line full of the scariest men<br>
They all keep trying to talk to Goo<br>
I've never seen a baby give that look<br>
She's not going to ride bitch to anybody<br>
She'll be leading your gang in 10 years<br>
I know exactly what the problem is<br>
There is only one man in Springfield who can take care of this<br>
The bikers, Skanky and Skanky<br>
It turns out that Skanky wants to sell his car to Skanky<br>
Maggie hears the guy yell and she freaks out<br>
Now I am freaking out<br>
All your fault Mr. B<br>
Your likability was going down by the day<br>
The plates from Slowsky moved over to Volvo<br>
I don't own the Volvo, you do Kris!!!!<br>
What if I want to hit the road in peace?<br>
Thanks Oprah<br>
I was in there for 53 minutes<br>
I got sucked in to other peoples drama as I waited<br>
Betsy gets attacked by a tick<br>
Now she needs to tell the neighborhood<br>
The neighbor tells her that she just got back from New Jersey<br>
She was there to help out a family member that got sick from a tick bite<br>
The ticks in New Jersey know your name before they attack<br>
This is all happening the night before you leave<br>
Thank god the Elk Mountain staff is released early every morning to remove all ticks and flea dip the deer<br>
I will never have a vacation as good as this because I am married to you<br>
Oh, you are too kind baby<br>
I was holed up 30 miles from Boulder in a hotel by the highway<br>
They call themselves suburbs, but they don't know<br>
Working late at night doing the nerd thing<br>
I get to the hotel late<br>
You're supposed to have a non-smoking . . . don't have it<br>
You're supposed to have king . . . don't have it<br>
The room smelled musty and like nothing I had smelled before<br>
All this while I have to rationalize hopping into a bed that a lot lizard just has sex with a trucker in<br>
The next morning I wake up and head down to the front desk<br>
I bitch and moan then realize that this girl is 11 years old<br>
I ask to be moved to another room<br>
She reaches into her pocket and pulls cell phone<br>
A roadside motel run by pre-teens<br>
"I can't move you but my mom can. I can call her to come down here."<br>
I rolled on out<br>
I came back the next night and asked to be moved again<br>
We can move you . . . but not for three days<br>
I then get the burrito craving<br>
Qdoba happens to be open right next to the truck stop<br>
You're gonna have to re-wrap that burrito<br>
Why?<br>
Beans were falling out of it<br>
He looks at me, "Sir you need to understand . . . if you bit into this it will explode in your face."<br>
This can't be fucking happening<br>
I am going to eat it here and cut it in half<br>
His eyes twinkle . . . are you sure that you don't want us to cut it . . . I have a really big knife<br>
His concern for my burrito did not go unnoticed<br>
Colorado out to get me . . . three months ago<br>
Stop Mr. B you can't tell this story we've gone too long<br>
We'll be in Seattle on Thursday!!! <br>
If you can make a live show we'll be doing it<br>
If more than 6 people want to come we need to get a place to do it<br>
I have one fan . . .Mexico Mike, total troll<br>
Selling mescaline by the highway<br>
I'll be in on the 8th at 10 am<br>
We'll be there for our 11th anniversary<br>
Why spend alone we want you<br>

I did something a bit different with this show . . . and it is more of an experiment to get some feedback. I'll stop here so that I don't give away too much or sway opinions. Let us know what you think.<br><br>
Croncast, my baby<br>
It's like my toast master's<br>
You gotta stick your moobs in the air<br>
The weight I am losing is making me dizzy<br>
When I turn things swing<br>
You got a loose bag of goodies<br>
I need a mra<br>
Yeah, you came up with the term "manitute"<br>
You need to continue that<br>
The pregnancy gear for overweight men<br>
Full body corset thing . . . Flexees<br>
Girlfriends wouldn't search for the Flexees, wives would<br>
You bought the farm baby<br>
It's a good thing that I am switching gears Mr. B<br>
Are more people getting interested in selling on eBay?<br>
Yeah, things are changing<br>
I'm like the Aurora casino just throwing my money in and getting nothing back<br>
Betsy's big thought . . . <br>
She was waiting in line at the twins and triplets sale<br>
Tethering the laundry baskets and dragging them across the floor<br>
This year there was a sign . . . no dragging<br>
Betsy gets the full introduction to some of the planners<br>
Descriptions will be less Betsy-ish<br>
Ok, yes, Ok,yes<br>
Like I am a museum display<br>
She comes up with the list and checks Vicky in<br>
Gets to Betsy, tells her her name . . . Oh, I know who you are. You have a blog.<br>
Betsy admits that she says some nasty stuff<br>
Betsy's stomach sank<br>
Bears just stop talking right now<br>
She says, "It was funny when you said we had 'weak pelvic floors'."
I find nothing at the sale<br>
Betsy checks the post when she gets home . . . she laid out an entire post of how and I why she sells on eBay<br>
They picked her post apart and realized that they should be doing it too and not donating there stuff for her to sell<br>
What is the plan?<br>
For those of you eating put down your food<br>
It's got nothing to do with you<br>
Is it about sex?<br>
It has everything to do with me<br>
If you are married and have the option . . . get the vasectomy<br>
Vasectomy does equal an increased sex drive<br>
No worries about birth control<br>
Like the vaginal plug<br>
You went to Catholic school right?<br>
I give, I give<br>
Betsy really digs the type A personality<br>
I can tell who was here I can tell from the face on the skin like a snake<br>
We're slowly getting in to show mode<br>
Congratulations to Dave and Melissa!<br>
Bill from <a href="http://hhradio.net/">hhradio.net</a> . . . listened to every show<br>
We've used a lot of color on our palette<br>
Oh, the Volvo<br>
Kris talks with Thom Volvo<br>
Zero percent satisfaction and we will never buy another Volvo again<br>
The defective V70 will be our defective V70<br>
We're not asking for a refund or a brand new car, we understand depreciation<br>
And no I won't sell my car back to you for a wholesale price<br>
They won't help us out but they will honor our warranty because we don't want another Volvo, "because you don't want another Volvo there is nothing that we can do for you beyond honor the warranty because this is not mutually beneficial to us."<br>
Betsy gives us Thom's perspective<br>
I would get more customer care and satisfaction if I bought a $1.39 box of cereal instead of a luxury car<br>
The dealership tells us this happens 1-2 times a year<br>
We had more recourse through eBay with Slowsky than now!<br>
Kris tells Volvo how to fix it for the next people . . . Talk us back into a Volvo about how safe and well put together they are<br>
Auto auction price for my car is not fair value . . . I am not a wholesaler<br>
Make me want to come in and get another Volvo<br>
Sorry dude that sucks, we're sorry, but we're not going to help you<br>
I am done talking about the Volvo<br>
It's over<br>
Let's get down with the positive . . . <br>
Elliot did his yearly EEG <br>
It came back with no abnormal activity!<br>
He's now going off his medication<br>
So we are monitoring him for seizures and so far so good<br>
His behavior has gotten so much better

So we are monitoring him for seizures and so far so good<br>
His behavior has gotten so much better

It's good to be back!<br>
Thanks to everyone who sent messages and comments<br>
Four weeks of not being told you're fabulous has taken it's toll on Betsy<br>
It's a thankless job being a house wife<br>
Betsy really needs the show, she just won't admit it<br>
I do like success Mr. B I just don't like to work very hard<br>
iTunes users leave us a review in the iTunes music store<br>
I've never been stuck on one thing<br>
Yes, I was well rounded<br>
I still have the sharp shins<br>
The family knows me as the idea guy<br>
But I stick to it like peanut butter<br>
I am like that crazy inventor guy<br>
The creepy guy who's in his garage all the time?<br>
I have been waiting for this<br>
Head first into break and I was excited<br>
But Bears, you did nothing around the house<br>
This will be a turning point in our marriage . . . Kris will start participating<br>
Winter brings garbage<br>
The sky opens and beer cans fall<br>
Kris's sliding man pants while he works<br>
Getting that backside tan<br>
Can you turn around and lift your shirt<br>
You'll have a pregnancy like slider to measure the tan for a man who does things<br>
I get less sunshine now that I am working from home<br>
And I've started losing weight<br>
I have . . . like it is panic<br>
Your Weight Watcherness of the last 4 weeks are putting the screws to me<br>
My face is saggy . . . my tummy is jubbly<br>
You'll have lost 6 or 7 ounces<br>
Packing it in before was the truth<br>
I am going to end up with a post-pregnancy belly<br>
Watch yourself big boy<br>
You never asked me to do anything on break other than bring in the garbage can<br>
What if I buy you a ladder?<br>
I'm done I cede the floor to you Betsy, now tell the Volvo story<br>
Tidal wave in the car<br>
Zeus was nowhere to be found<br>
She calls me, "I was driving in my car . . . "<br>
The way I don't ever want to hear Betsy start that way<br>
I know that I am going to end up back at Volvo of Lisle<br>
Yes, I was correct<br>
We hit'em up to try to get it taken care of<br>
The gist of it is that we are screwed<br>
"You should call customer care and start there."<br>
"Work your way up"<br>
Reputation management matters but auto dealers don't care<br>
This is a fluke but the Volvo reputation for a consumer begins at the dealership<br>
They are the ones that should care<br>
Once it is repaired Betsy asked for a price for them to buy it outright<br>
Big mistake<br>
Once she told them no new Volvo that she would buy a new car from another dealer it was over<br>
Sure it is all soccer moms around here but it doesn't matter<br>
Now we'll keep it til the warranty runs out unless something so bad happens that they will actually take responsibility for the car being a lemon<br>
I never leave the house now<br>
Which brings me to my point . . . I am going to sell your car Mr. B<br>
You can't sell my car, baby<br>
The farthest I went from the house in the last week alone was 35 feet<br>
Talking taxes on Wednesday . . . strikingly vivid<br>
We thank everybody for the emails, comments and the calls<br>

			<description><![CDATA[Sooooo, Kris thought to himself . . . I mean myself, that I would be cool and do something nice for Betsy. Like I could stop by Volvo of Lisle, the new temporary home for her car and talk to them about the state of her V70 wagon and give her some good news like it has been fixed or that we guarantee that 3/4 of an inch of water will never pour out from under the dash on the driver's side again.<br><br>I suppose I should have been talking to the techs instead of a finance guy, a manager and a sales man to get an answer for that. But I knew the car wouldn't be finished since we didn't hear back plus the fact that when we arrived they told us that they were overbooked by 60 appointments for today. <br><br>Mosquito eggs will be hatching in the meantime. This may be the most expensive larva nest/ant farm in history. Hopefully the high water mark won't damage the resale value. Something Betsy knows all about.<br><br>This was the point tonight they would step up to the plate and work with us. However, that would be to easy! I was told to call customer service,  "It might take two weeks but eventually you'll talk to the right person." <br><br>Like I have time for this, not only do you have my car but I want to spend hours on hold waiting for someone to tell me that they can't help us out and I have to get upset and ask for a manager. At that point they then tell us that they don't really work for Volvo of North America they are just at a call center in Idaho. <br><br>This was, of course was after he mentioned that I might want to pursue the lemon law. I promptly redirected that path of reasoning as a remedy for a car that has been in for repair SIX  times in 5200 miles of its existence. Towed in for two of those repair trips. We both know the lemon law means a bunch of expenses on my end and a high likely hood that there will be a pretty unsatisfactory ending to the story of our Ford station wagon.<br><br>Well, I gotta run laptop needs juice and I am tired.

So right now it is backed up by our mail box waiting for it's ride to the dealership for another round of "repairs".<br><br>Tags: <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/Volvo of Lisle">Volvo of Lisle</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Volvo of Lisle"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Volvo of Lisle.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/Volvo V70 2.5T">Volvo V70 2.5T</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Volvo V70 2.5T"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Volvo V70 2.5T.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/V70">V70</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/V70"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/V70.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/lemon">lemon</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/lemon"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/lemon.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/Volvo repairs">Volvo repairs</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Volvo repairs"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Volvo repairs.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a>]]></content:encoded>

         <title>Volvo V70 the curse of Slowsky</title>
         <link>http://www.croncast.com/rssk/629/Volvo-V70-the-curse-of-Slowsky_Volvo-of-Lisle_V70-tansmission.php</link>
		 <category>Blog</category>
			<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/rocko-jan-20070122.jpg"><br><br>As many of you know we divorced Slowsky months ago and sent her on her way to a certain death on someone else's watch. About three months ago as a replacement for the 7 year old beast we picked up a 2006 Volvo V70 at Betsy's insistence that this was the car for her . . . I should have known better. It is was an untitled demonstrator and only had 600 miles on it. It now has 3800 miles on it.
<br><br>
In the last three months it has been in for service 4 times (quickly to be 5 as soon as Volvo will come and remove it from our driveway). It has been towed once (soon to be twice).
<br><br>
<b>The repair visits have been:</b><br>
1) Passenger window that wasn't attached to the track at the factory so it wouldn't go down or up. Cause: Presumed drunken Swede.<br>
2) A child booster seat that didn't have the release strap attached. Yes, the strap and accompanying plastic cosmetic piece were not physically attached to release the seat. So I pull and it comes off like it was glued with butter. Cause: Again presumed drunken Swede arriving late for work after churning butter at home.<br>
3) Car will not come out of park or release key for 30 minutes. Got it in gear and drove it in. Cause: unknown.<br>
4) Car will not come out of park 8 hours after repair. Waited 2 1/2 hours for Volvo to get us a tow in a metropolitan area that is pavement from us to Chicago. Cause: a clip of some sort was broken.<br>
5) Car will not come out of park 12 hours after repair. It now sits on our driveway. Cause: Something is broken and the dealership hasn't figured out what it is otherwise I wouldn't be writing this post about it sunbathing on our driveway.
<br><br>
To say that we have been dissatisfied with this purchase would be an understatement.<br><br>Betsy is now worried about driving the car. Even if the future repairs do the job I can't blame her. Getting stuck with a brand new car, Moose and Maggers in the winter doesn't sound too appealing. <br><br>The thought that maybe the air bags were packed with popcorn wouldn't surprise me at this point or the steering wheel is held together with tape and bubble gum or that the car's computer is an old Sega game console from Goodwill.

Today's show is brought to you by James Hously<br>
Intro done partially without any effects at beginning and the rest . . . history<br>
Betsy mimics the bird man intro to the detriment of our audience<br>
You look like a bird, Mr. B<br>
Yeah maybe a flightless bird<br>
Bears, you look like a Red Breasted Booby-Knocker<br>
That would be the name of the bird that I get to name<br>
You would name them all that<br>
Who's got the PhD in Birdology . . . ornithology<br>
Oh back when it was rocks for jocks<br>
The same depth of sag, that's why they got along<br>
You're being really sensitive tonight<br>
I hit 30 and have found some good friends<br>
People in 40's, 50's say when you are in your 20's you don't know shit<br>
What are you thinking Betsy?<br>
Chill out Bears<br>
We we're oh so dumb, what did we know?<br>
Why did we get married . . . especially at 20 and 21<br>
I don't remember . . . but love and all that<br>

Today's show is brought to you by James Hously<br>
Intro done partially without any effects at beginning and the rest . . . history<br>
Betsy mimics the bird man intro to the detriment of our audience<br>
You look like a bird, Mr. B<br>
Yeah maybe a flightless bird<br>
Bears, you look like a Red Breasted Booby-Knocker<br>
That would be the name of the bird that I get to name<br>
You would name them all that<br>
Who's got the PhD in Birdology . . . ornithology<br>
Oh back when it was rocks for jocks<br>
The same depth of sag, that's why they got along<br>
You're being really sensitive tonight<br>
I hit 30 and have found some good friends<br>
People in 40's, 50's say when you are in your 20's you don't know shit<br>
What are you thinking Betsy?<br>
Chill out Bears<br>
We we're oh so dumb, what did we know?<br>
Why did we get married . . . especially at 20 and 21<br>
I don't remember . . . but love and all that<br>
That is back when you were wearing the teal cummerbund<br>
With the fuschia shirt<br>
You could have fried an egg on that shirt on a hot day<br>
I used to walk home from that job at 4 am<br>
Did you turn down every fourth prostitute or every third?<br>
I did get followed home one night<br>
By who a manitute?<br>
He was hoping for Ballpark and ended up with a cocktail weenie<br>
We hit 30 and things started to change<br>
Kris, you proved us all wrong<br>
That is back when I was making pizza's at the gas station<br>
That guy did me a solid . . . he set me up with my first computer job<br>
He asked me what was up with wife being pregnant<br>
Worked for them for five years<br>
The reason that Kris doesn't get along with IT departments<br>
He opened the door for me<br>
The tow of Slowsky part two<br>
Living in Milwaukee and the car is going to get towed<br>
But sir it has "Just Married" written in soap on it . . . "So"<br>

Today's show is brought to you by Henry Busby<br>
Kris thought he would be cool and Betsy shoots him down immediately<br>
Yes, it wasn't that cool<br>
Leaving comments at Croncast, please do<br>
Wii comments on the Wii friend code post<br>
"I love my Wii," Betsy<br>
You're trying to steal my thunder<br>
I'm gonna pick up this dusty Wii and go pro<br>
Betsy plays tennis for 2 hours and makes it<br>
Something fabulous should happen when you make it pro right?<br>
Betsy makes tennis pro<br>
Tiny little start!<br>
Shave 10 pounds off my Wii<br>
Betsy's Mii is too lifelike<br>
Kris did a great job making her Wii<br>
I didn't do anything to it that would make it out of the ordinary<br>
No clue as to what you're husband would change about you<br>
"It looks just like me"<br>
Wii tournament is next weekend<br>
Betsy is going to auction off all my old electronic equipment on eBay<br>
The Zune . . . I have to have it for a corporate client<br>
Nobody is going to use it, but the lucky winner of my auction will<br>
You are the worst with money Mr. B<br>
Brown is not cool<br>
I can't believe you bought a brown one<br>
Can you imagine wearing this brown brick on your hip at the club working out?<br>
It's a step away from the normal colors<br>
Has design sensibilities<br>
The broken iMac<br>
Betsy starts the swearing fit<br>
Nick T is real . . . his mom left us a message, right on!<br>
Slowsky's spirit is back and haunting Betsy's new car<br>
Betsy can't hold it together with car guys<br>
The dealer says they can't get up in for a week . . . right<br>
The haunting continues<br>
Is that normal to happen with a car that has 3700 miles on it?<br>
Did you spill something in it, mam?<br>
Betsy escalates with the car guy immediately<br>
Kris steps in to slow it down<br>
So Volvo of Lisle supposedly fixed the car<br>
If you want us to wash your car it will take another 20 minutes<br>
The sign said it would be clean when I got it back<br>
And the dealer wouldn't give me a loaner car<br>
Betsy goes out with a friend Saturday night<br>
Tries to start the car that she picked up 7 hours before<br>
The car won't come out of park again<br>
It is now abandoned at her friends condo complex<br>
THE CAR IS BRAND NEW!<br>
Her friend tells her it is a lemon<br>
Volvo roadside assistance will be called Monday morning<br>
Do you know the effort it is going to take?<br>
You're telling me that I need to start the Slowsky saga all over again<br>
Hoping that this is a symptom of a greater problem<br>
Well, Zues peed on someone again . . . she was pregnant<br>
She's going to fall and give birth in a puddle of dog urine<br>
And Betsy bolted
