Hell Is Spelled D-M-V
Because the government is comprised of a bunch of assholes, I can no longer renew my drivers' license by mail. Now I have to make a fucking appointment and go appear live and in person with the required documentation. Big, fucking pain in the ass. I shall bestow the Honour of my Presence upon the DMV this Friday.
Now I have to descend down to the Hall of Records to crack open the Vault and rummage around to find my birth cert and my social security card. In honour of my misserabe situation I present to you a little ditty by Primus:

It could be worse; you could have to get (cue scary music) a passport! And, not only that, but a passport for your kid, too! For two different countries!
If they're gonna charge prices like those, they should at least make it legal to sell a kidney.
Sparrooooowwwww!!!!!! I thought you had died or something!
Why is it that a drivers' license, which you have to provide the same documentation for and is printed up for ya in like 10 minutes and is good for 7 years costs $20, and a passport, which you have to provide your own photo and wait like 3 months for and is good for 10 years is a C-note?
Dead? I should be so lucky.
Because they require you to have it, of course. We won't even get in to the whole RFID technology is supposed to be fail-safe, but the passports containing them are actually manufactured at an unsecured facility in Thailand. I shit you not.
Actually here in California the DL's are only good for 4 years. I don't know why they bother issuing them at all; no one has them. At least, that's my take on it from trying to avoid other people's driving.
Primus... Saw them in concert. Totally can't remember it. Ah, wasted youth.
I went to Lollapalooza when it was in Miami in '93. Good times, good times.
I should do a post about the "investigative report" from a while back where they were busting people coming out of court after having their licenses suspended/revoked etc. and getting back into their car and driving off. It was classic Banana Town.
Oh yeah, that happens here all the time. The police station is just right down the street from the court, so it's easy revenue for them.
I was at the original Lollapalooza in '91, at Irvine Meadows, here in SoCal. Get this; I was pregnant, wearing a light blue gingham-checked pregnancy muumuu. Oh yeah. And with a nose ring and greasy Docs. How cool am I? I believe you can judge for yourself.
To top that, I came down with a bladder infection while at the concert. The lines for the women's were far too long, of course, so I just used the men's. "Outta the way -- I'm pregnant and I have a bladder infection and I will pee on your foot!"
The guys gave way pretty quick. Repeatedly.
Even funnier... They put NIN on as one of the opening acts, at like 11 in the morning or something. Smoke effects are not so effective in the morning, outside, in the blazing sunshine.
