I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    My friend bought an Odyssey a few years back

    And it was anything but lame, it was a really comfortable, spacious, smooth ride, and had a ton of neat bells and whistles, and it got good mileage.

    You know what's lame? After hundreds of years trying to get through the Northwest passage by breaking the ice up, it turns out all we had to do is heat up the planet.

    That's right, the Northwest passage is now open, probably open for business pretty soon. Grats on your purchase.
