A phrase more than a quote:

"[...] one of those things you play Carlo Polo(1) with [...]

"(1) you know, that game where you push a button, and your car responds with 'Polo!' (in carish, of course), and you try to locate it? It's usually played in swimming pools, or maybe I'm confused..."

Tee hee! I like being the quote of the day :)

Hey! I resemble the inventor of that expression. :-)

Speaking of explorers ([livejournal.com profile] not_the_pope's, named Maggie, short for Magellan, the original car I played this game with...

I guess this makes me Christopher Columbus and [livejournal.com profile] moviebear Amerigo Vespucci?

Yes, you invented "Carlo Polo". It was still my witty phrasing that got it mentioned here ;) *fake gloat*

Or perhaps Glenn just thinks I'm cuter than you ;)

You are cuter, but that's not the reason -- I didn't know where it came from, only that I'd gotten it from you. Apologies to Scruffycritter.

Thank you :)

Don't worry, Joe and I are just teasing each other.

Except that to do it right you'd have to keep your eyes closed the whole time, and the car would move to a different parking space between beeps. {evil grin}
