the horn playing la cucaracha.. heh... great episode.

great concept for a desktop theme (the car design, not the homer)

That horn has nothing on the jeepney horns in the philippines.

One of these days, I'm going to build a jeep like the owner-type jeeps back home--stainless steel body panels, lots of blingy lights & useless antennae, electric fans on the dash (no air-con)....and a horn that plays a flourishing tune.

What with the weather outside here in DC, and that thought, suddenly I feel homesick....
