A description of my blog. http://www.my-site.com 6311453740618281634 Switch Hitting 2008/06/#6311453740618281634 2008-06-03 I received a lot of good explanations for my mystery switch, along with many snide comments about how dirty my car is. Look, I've been working on my landscaping, ok? So it's hella dusty outside, and I haven't had time to keep my car clean. I promise that I'll clean my car out good so I can get a nice picture of the switch with its new label.


Some of my favorite comments are below:

Sugar, that mystery button is called the "clitoris." Don't feel bad, many men have to be taught these things. Just give it a few rapid toggles after the engine is warmed up to keep your Nissan happy and performing like a kitten.

This switch is to raise the glass partition that separates the front from the back, for those times when you're really sick of hearing "Are we there yet?"

Well, obviously, it has to have a purpose. I mean, even if some children from a third world country made your car, it doesn't mean they're stupid enough to put a switch without a purpose. This switch obviously activates Thermonuclear War between the United States and some poor guy named John.

The reason it doesn't work is because you didn't make it breakfast when he said 'hey lets go to arbies' and you said 'naw dawg i wanna eat home' and he said 'come on' and you said 'nawww' and he cried himself to sleep.

You sick sick man.

This button moves you from the universe you currently inhabit into an alternate, so that you switch places with Alternate Diesels. Because the universes are layered, with the nearest ones obviously being very similar to each other, the only sign of the transition is minor oddities, like your keys not being where you left them. Although, if you flip the switch while driving, it won't be your keys that go missing, because they would have to be in the ignition.

It's just an extra switch. After the designed and built the car, somebody said "Boy, it sure does look funny having that big empty spot right there." And then he filled out one of those suggestion forms that were created back in the "employee empowerment" days and next thing you know they put freaking non-functioning switch and red light in that spot. That's how corporations work.

It controls the lamp on my nightstand. Quit messing with it.

Silly rabbit! It turns on your 'straight-ahead' signal at 4-way intersections. The red light goes on when it's your turn to proceed through the intersection.

That little button opens your parachute after you plunge off a cliff. Geezz! You should always know where your parachute button-opener-thingy is. Mine's under the back seat.

silly. it releases the trunk monkey.

I believe it's the ejector switch if the person in the passenger seat attempts to mess with the presets.

Pretty sure its to release the sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads. Unfortunately, your idiot Number Two installed it in your Evil CAR and not your Evil Yacht...damn lackeys...

Lucky you. Flip it an have your delegate from Michigan counted!

I even got one actual realistic suggestion of what the switch might have done at one point:

I have the same car and it's a defrosting switch for either side mirrors or the back window. Mine stopped working a year after I got my car.
The car is a 1992 Nissan 300ZX, and I used to have a 1984 model that had a switch for mirror defrosters. So that could very well be it.

For the poll, I picked suggestions that I thought would make a good label for the switch. I also added one of my own, which I'm surprised nobody thought of (you'll have to figure out which one it is).

The suggestion with the most votes will be made into a label and stuck to my dashboard for all to see.

Oh, and by the way, the "180 MINUTES" caption is supposed to be "108 MINUTES," a la Lost. Vizu won't let me correct it for some reason. At first I thought it was because I used the word "clitoris," but I changed it to "cl1toris" and it still didn't work. Whatever.



Anyway, vote for your favorite. I'll announce the winner on Friday.
