    That's right, check out that screenshot above: PriusChat has hit the big leagues now by inadvertantly being shown during a Google search for "Prius" last Sunday night on 60 Minutes. In case you care about why "priuschat" ended up on one of the most watched shows in the United States, check out the video below. Or if you don't just skip to the 10:20 mark and see it for yourself.

    That's how I discovered PriusChat too. Got home from the dealer after buying my Prius. Had a feeling that I got ripped-off on the extended warranty. Googled "Prius extended warranty" and ....

    I found PriusChat by Googling "sheep jokes", which took me instantly to FHoP.

    Me too. After reading Prius chat I put a rear view camera on my sheep and now it runs before my neighbor Daryl or his other brother Daryl can catch it.

    Much better than the old days before PC and Google, when you had to go to Montana. Or North Dakota.

    I found out about priuschat.com, because it was written on the bathroom stall wall of some gas station, right beside Jenny's #867-5309.
