As of about 45 minutes ago, I no longer own the Explorer. I sold it to some guy that works for my dad at the quicklube, though, so I still have visitation rights if I want to.

I owned that car in some form or another for more than a decade.

Tonight I'm going out with my friend Erin to celebrate her birthday. I will have a beer in honor of the Explorer.

If you have any fond memories of the old girl, please feel free to share them. If you don't, make something up.



I remember riding in your Explorer after Pearce's wedding rehearsal when you took us to Kitty O'Sheas.

The bartender called me "lad" and I alsmost fainted because I'm totally gay for anything and everything Irish including myself!

Then we went to the burger joint nextdoor and ate like kings.  


Holy crap! I can't believe you actually had an Explorer story! That rocks!

BP's two-night-long bachelor party was great. I'm glad my Explorer could be a part of it.

Coincidentally, I haven't been to Tolly Ho's in forever. This is a crime.  


Incidentally, I should have said "incidentally, I haven't been to Tolly HO's in forever." Not "Coincedentally." There was no coincedence at work there. It was, however, and incidental statement.  


I remember when we were at some bar one time and you let me borrow your Explorer because I told I had to take this girl home but I actually just made out with her in your backseat then I came back and kept drinking with you. Thank you Patrick and thank you Patrick's Explorer for being so spacious and comfortable. I will never forget you old friend.  


On the same weekend Ian mentioned, I remember me and Pearce went searching for Steph, her mom, and Steph's friend at some random Greyhound station. I didn't know where we were going or who we were looking for, but it was a smooth ride. Then we ended up back at Kitty O'Sheas, went to Tally Ho's and ate like kings.  


Hardik's story is 100% true and that is exactly how it happened, I swear.  


James, that was also when either you or Pearce kicked my ipod out of the car. Thanks for bringing that up.  


Ah...memories.

Must have been Pearce. You better collect from that guy before he leave the state.  


Crap. I hadn't thought of that. He also owes me for 600 beers. Give or take.  


He didn't have his wallet on Friday. That's why he owes me for 600 beers. It was a hell of a night.  


Now that you mention it, he owes me the same amount of beers when he left Virginia. Oh...he'll get his.  


...in bed.  


Clever.  


Thank you.

The fortune cookie trick is not just for fortune cookies.  


i remember taking the explorer out one night on a drunken binge, picked up a male prostitute and rammed it into a pole. sorry about that big dent in the side, sweetie . . . i'm also sorry about dropping you on your head when you were a baby.  


All is forgiven.  


I remember borrowing it... and taking it to Virginia because I didn't have a car. I was with an xboyfriend and we got into a fight, he had to pee, I refused to stop, so he peed in a bottle.. and dribbled a little on the floor.

sorry, patch.
sorry, explorer
sorry, God.  


See, you should have told me that earlier. Now if the guy I sold it to finds the pee stain I'm gonna be in trouble.  


you'll never catch me!!!

never!!!!
