I don’t understand what they are going for with this and the latest Chevy trucks at all. I didn’t expect it to be great looking, it’s a Toyota, and about the best I can ever say about their styling is “Ehhhh, it’s not horrible!”, but the front end moves this into the WTF? category. So many vehicles have styling that…

Read it again.

My long gone dog Gus smelled slightly like burned leaves, which wasn’t bad, actually, but his feet did have a Fritoish smell to them. I just thought it was another unique thing about him, as he was a very strange combination of Pit Bull(mom) and an unknown dad. Even his coat was strange, most of the “brown” part was…

Maybe just get a new door from someplace in a non-salted area?

My last rental was with Hertz and it was ok, no real complaints, but it took forever to just get the paperwork done on the car that was sitting just next to the office. I didn’t have anything to do, but it seemed like the 20? year old girl working the counter alone (at first) seemed to be more interested in checking…

A friend of mine, who is notoriously cheap, is finally waking up to the fact his fleet of junkers is costing him at least as much as a decent new car would be every month. Even with the crazy used car prices they are getting at this point, 20+ year old Mopars aren’t worth much. Last month alone, he put an alternator…

My first couple of dogs got on the heavy side, and it was torture for them and us to get them down a couple of pounds, due to the fact they just would eat anything edible, or, sometimes, not really edible, like a long dead and very nasty smelling groundhog. They were fed 2X a day, and they had to be seperated, or a…

Only $35,000? Bad lawyer, bad lawyer.

I worked as a bouncer and a security guard in nightclubs and a hotel from ‘79 to ‘82, and one of the things that made us laugh at some people was when, for example, this guy took his shirt and shoes off, and put his feet up on his table in the hotel restaurant. I told him he had to put them both back on, or leave. He…

I don’t know, I’ve read both actually. I’ve never, or at least I can’t remember, reading anything that actually explained what it was that was supposed to hurt/kill them. When you think about the terrible stuff they can eat without any harm, it seems very odd that grapes could do so much damage. My dog Gus ate some…

That was from a clutch explosion, but it did push him to finally make the first real successful rear engined dragster. 

Back in the middle 60's until ‘77, when he died at 12, we gave our Beagle frozen grapes all the time. He must have eaten thousands of them over his lifetime. I never heard anything about grapes or raisins being bad until long after he was gone. He ate a 7 pound ham once (like 20% of his body weight)and if that didn’t…

I know a guy who used to have a used car lot, and he always had barely used cars that had just come out for sale at big bucks, pretty close to original MSRP. I saw the first VW New Beetle there. It lasted 6 hours and was bought by some guy for his daughter’s HS graduation for MSRP. He had cars literally days after the…

I was in inpatient rehab for a knee injuries. The afternoon before my scheduled doctor’s appointment, I fell and tore my quadiceps 180 degrees, AKA clean off. They decided to take me as scheduled, so the ambulance picked me up, took me to the doctor’s office. Once there, it was obvious surgery was going to happen.…

I saw a news report about the gas shortages and they showed a Tahoe or Yukon in VA that had, and I froze the picture and counted, at least 7 of the bigger plastic cans jammed into the back. I think there might have been some in the back seat, too, but I couldn’t tell for sure. Some of the cans in the back were lying…

I’m a condiment phobe, and the white ones are up near the top of things that jut revolt me. Cream cheese isn’t one of them. I’m not crazy about it, but as long as it’s cold, I can get it down, unlike mayo, Miracle Whip, Tartar Sauce, and the worst, the most vile, the most gawdawful white stuff to come out of a jar,…

Wow, people here seem to have very delicate mouths. Grape Nuts hurting?

Never hurt my mouth either. 

Well, I had no idea this was a thing at all. I’ve never had pain in my mouth eating pineapple. 

Our neighbor’s grandson was bitten and permanently scarred under his left eye by his grandparent’s dog. He was about 5, and ignored warnings from just about everyone, including me, and he finally learned not to mess with dogs. Did anything happen to the dog that bit him? Nope, we all knew it was coming, and that he…
