Re: Can't use VPN with Bellsouth DSL???

So why didn't bell south tell me any of these when I called and emailed? Just curious...
Also...so what exactly is a punch buggy (or where does the term come from)...my 7 year old daughter yells that out everytime she sees a VW!

She doesn't hit you or any of her siblings? It's just a little game. Basically whoever spots a Beetle during a road trip (this is when my brother and I played it) gets to punch whoever misses it. At least that is how my brother and I played it when we were very young . So you look for Beetles and have some fun. So, say there is a yellow Beetle cruising down the road. If you spot it first, you say "punch buggy yellow" and proceed with punching the other person. Better excuse for hitting a younger brother than "he's hogging the armrest" or "he's staring at me"... all the typical bickering brothers/sisters do after being cooped up in a car for a few hours...

Well said! It is just a silly car game used to break the monotony of Atlanta traffic......
