I'm glad nobody was hurt! But what's a topper? Is that some North Dakotan way of saying cap?

Well on the way back from the store I cut some poor guy off and he almost ruined his little Saturn on the rear bumper of my pickup. Fortuantely he had good brakes and the road wasn't too wet from the recent rain. Having a topper definately has its drawbacks, a huge blind spot chief among them.

Oh a Saturn...did you happen to notice what kind?

I have a Saturn. I love it.

Yes Navigator.....CACI is the devil at times.

I got offered employment with them...I didn't take it....they tried to low ball my salary.

It was a really small 4-door.

Sorry, I just found that funny. Heh.


A topper is that big maroon thing on the box.

[Emberchyld]

Well if it were me...I'd just move them out of my way while raiding your fridge.

But then again.....I dance as well....and I've done/ seen stranger things done to dance shoes.

lol

True... Shoe abuse is like second nature... and it just adds to our wierd habits.

I've just been initiated into the world of foot undeez for my contemporary class(surprisingly comfy, but it really looks like you're wearing men's underpants on your feet):

[TSara]

Those look like dance paws.

[Linda]

Yeah, Saturns have good brakes. I own one. It has 190,000 miles on it and the engine is just great. The body is ok, starting to rust a bit underneath, but since it is mostly plastic, does not look like a res car yet. I will be careful of trucks with purple caps (I mean toppers) if I ever make it to North Dakota, LOL. I will just pull along side and say "Hey, CX! Let's stop somewhere for a cup of coffee! I'm buying."

I am so tempted to make an icon with this picture.

Yes, a topper is what we in New England call a cap. I find it interesting how language varies regionally. My roommate all through undergrad years called water fountains "bubblers." This truck topper is a new one for me.

[Linda]

Yes, bubbler is a midwest expression. I discovered that when I moved from upstate New York to Milwaukee.

Ah. A canopy.
Glad nobody was injured. I carpool in a Saturn Ion 3 days a week.

I own a Saturn Ion. I'd love to carpool to save gas money/ emissions. But not many people in my area commute out to where I work....and those that do work a regular 9 to 5. While I work 6 to 6.

Never heard that one out here. We just call 'em hats... Our neighbors to the north call them tooks, but that's the only other expression I've heard for them.

I've noticed that some people here talk about working crazy amount of hours in a week an that makes me curious don't you have limitations on how many hours you can work in a week in the US?

[CoffeeCat]

hmm. I don't believe there are any limitations. And the crazy hours come from everything being so expensive and pple not being paid enough to meet the cost of living. my DH works over 60 hours.
