The Noblesvillain

She's at full throttle, but we seem to be encountering some vegatative resistance, sir!

Listening to a local values-friendly radio station, I mentioned that I thought that I would like the station better with better variety in the playlist.  My long-suffering wife thought that perhaps I had been spoiled by Yahoo's Christian Rock Launchcast station.  Without granting credence to this comment, imagine the level of smugness when from the back seat comes the comment, "Diffent?" which is Mark's cue to change the music.  Mark has some definite opinions about his night-time CD choices (or perhaps wishes to exert some control!) which is why we know this bit of vocabulary.

The end of the story is that Mark continued to ask for a station change even after we found some better music which cut my smug index in half.
