One of my defining moments:

I was living in Zürich.  One night my native buddy and I were out.  We 
stopped at Wang Labs, his old job, where apparently the janitor was the 
big hash dealer.  He left me in the car and proceeded to wander around a 
14 story building looking for the dude.  After, oh, 45 minutes, I was 
cold and I turned on the car for some heat (Zürich in winter).  About 
that time he came out and started yelling at me.

Markus: "Only an *American* would run a car when it's not going anywhere!"
Me: "It's fucking cold!"
Him: "That's why there's a blanket in the back!  They're not making any 
more dinosaurs. And you're polluting the air for no reason!"

So, "they're not making any more dinosaurs" became one of my mantras.  I 
turn my car off in line at the McDonald's drive-thru.
