Jim's swingin' bachelor pad....

I have just recently added to my house the final accessory which makes my house qualify as a "bachelor pad"...You see, I now have something gasoline powered sitting in my kitchen.

While it is not a 1978 straight block V-12 engine (which also gives you extra points on your man license exam), it is a 1980 Honda moped I am trying to get up and running, with aspirations of possibly turning it into an art car. Possibly the result of too many episodes of American Chopper and Monster Garage.

Other qualifications for the bachelor pad include:

1. Having a refrigerator that has a science experiment in it. Otherwise, it is simply a place to keep sodas and beer cold.

2. Having rooms devoted to various and sundry hobbies, such as a large toy or comic book collection.

3. Having a television that costs more than what you paid for all of your other furniture...Combined.

4. Having a DVD rack that has absolutely no "chick flicks" in it.

5. Your pets eat better than you do, because your pantry consists of Pop Tarts, Cat Food, and Canned Ravioli.
