I'm sure my 13 year old son will appreciate that. :-)

How do I get a tan with the top down if I'm wearing a coat?

Idiomatically, "Check out the babes." If you want Babelfish, "Seek the girls."

I've got that here, south to Anaheim, or west to Downtown L.A. Hockey bores me
- I should add that to both sides. Kinda like no football.

You have to be an Aussie or a Bruce (same thing allegedly) to get it. Or be a
Monty Python fan.
