I would like to tell a short story about the car in the picture. We were Married in 1991. I had grown up in Bloomington Indiana and my lovely wife was born there. I had left to go to Thailand, she left to go move to Arizona for a year. We were both bad pennies are returned.
When we got married we moved to Cincinnati the following happened:
1. we got married.
2. we moved to Ohio
3. We had two cars, one was an old Datsun. It died.
So, the car in the picture joined our family. To this day, it is both my wife and my all-time favorite car. We did everything with that Station Wagon!
Today’s fun stuff!!!
Another Weird Al Yankovic song!

Two comics that I loved when I was a teenager – Cheech and Chong. This song was number 1 for a time!

Basetball Jones!
Hmmm… I consider this post as a show with impressive events, with strong nuances of love and excitement.
thanks! the overall goal was to provide everyone with a little light fun every day!
I think your goal has been achieved as expected.
i started about 10 days ago (give or take) trying to help people find something happy. so far it has worked!
I’m sure of that, Doc! I am among those who enjoy it!
i am happy to provide entertainment. We need happy on this site, and in this world right now.
Great memories and sentimentality are priceless.
What happened to ole Al Yankovic?
he is still around and still making music! the market for parodies is less now than it was.
He was quite entertaining back then. These days I have to balance out quality time with my boys choices. And they are not so much into the old stuff except for a few comedies here and there.
I just have to adapt to keep the peace. I’m sure you understand my situation. Lol
i do – i ended up figuring out ways to get them interested in the things I enjoyed.
They love Star Wars, but watching sports on TV, no way!
You are at least half as lucky as I am. Well done dad!
I realized as they got older (and LOUDER) that they, and my daughter not liking sports meant that i could turn the game on, and have peace and quiet!
My boys mostly live with me, and as much as I enjoy the peace and quiet when they go to their mom’s, I kinda miss them, a little bit. Just a little.
i don’t have a break, but now they are college students so we see them less often, except for now, when we see them every day.
You were probably high when you made the typo – “Basketball Jones!” Basketball Joooooooones!
actually they say Basetball jones, on purpose…
Great videos and I remember station wagons were the family cars before SUVs showed up
we loved our pre-suv station wagon!
My word smith husband uses English grammar. English grammar and some words are entirely different from American grammar.
I am not a linguist but he is.
Warwick gets upset when our announcers say “compared to…” rather than “compared with…”
I annoy him by speaking half way through a sentence, although I though I began at the beginning..
I like the station wagon.
my daughter loves grammar. She does the same things, so, i help her frustration by intentionally avoiding the use of proper American!
I understand why this car is your favorite. There are many fond memories of this car.
we adored that car – it was with us for nearly 5 years!
Cool video and car as well. Subaru’s seem very nice and dependable. Love your stories.
thanks – first for the kind words, and the compliment!
The parody is really good, it would have been even better if I have heard the original song, haha.
YouTube says I don’t have access to the second video.
i was trying to find stuff that didn’t have any foul language I am reminded by a friend that the second link isn’t as clean as I remembered.
sorry about that.
Should I take that as a compliment from YouTube that I am too young to watch it, or is the video removed,haha
you are far too young to view the content – video is still there.
Ah, I see what your doing here, great idea Doc.
Now about that car. I agree with you on the car. My dad had one just like it. I think it was a few years newer, it was brown. I did know that. I used to borrow it during snow season. That thing could go anywhere as long as it could clear the bottom. I only got stranded one time in it, and that is because we pulled over to help another stranded family into the car. It wouldnt take off again, with the extra weight. We all ended by walking about a 1/4 mile to the nearest house and asking to use the phone. The snow was well over knee deep in the road. They had plowed and the side of the road was about 15′. Major snow storm. This was before cell phone time. I loved that car.
Opps, I didn’t mean to hit send. I wanted to mention the Al song, and the Cheech and Chong one. I have never heard either of them. I must of been super busy in that time of my life. Thanks DOC!
My friend in AZ just got a new subaru outback! I am so envious.
i am still thinking about getting one. Haven’t decided yet.
you had to be listening to a lot of comedy stuff to hear those!
my wife was doing video production when we had the car, she had that thing loaded all the time! we loved our Subaru.
