Tim had to replace a tire while working on some clean up in the San Diego area (he reports that his house was safe) when he spotted THIS! So, I guess the real question is, whose "lifetime"?
Lifetime is typically used in these guarantees to mean "the period of time which the original purchaser owns the vehicle" and not any given lifespan of the purchaser or the usability of the car.
This reminds me of the old "Roadrunner" cartoon when Wile E. Coyote purchased a hot-air balloon from the ubitiquous Acme Company. Instead of "Lifetime Guarantee", the carton read "Guaranteed For the Life of the User."
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Probably just to protect them from penny pinching zombies.
Yes, who is lifetime indeed.
oops. I blame my regimen of pain killers. Fixed.

We know that. But it's more fun to pretend we don't

You know it could be worse...
At least "mounting" wasn't in quotes.
i like the idea of a lifetime of balance and rotation. sounds invigorating.
