Probably somewhere between kidney stone and garden hose enema.

“For a discussion of the TIE fighter airbag requirements, we now turn over the microphone to our subcontractors from Takata.”

The 53K doesn’t have handrails, either. I still had to watch 40 minutes of someone explaining how the prototype would get trucked to the hills for eTAWS testing.

Standing on the Death Star with other bounty hunters,

Those high-functioning Imperial droids have memory destruction modules for when anyone tries to reprogram them. This keeps the floorplans to a space station the size of an M-class moon out of the hands of rebellious forces if they happened to, say, steal a mousebot.

You really want to see (literally) weeks of Powerpoint slides as 500+ engineers, cost account managers, project managers, Imperial DCMAs, logisticians, QAs, military brass, and chickenhawk politicians conduct SRR, PDR, CDR, PRR, TRR, and OT&E decision points?

I think you’re looking for the compost heap, which is outside in your back yard.

“Do you know what they put on french fries?”

I doubt any editor at the Sun is that good-looking.

Clarkson: “No, it’s still Hammond’s fault.”

He’ll make up for it, now.

“And elsewhere today in Idealland, all representatives voted on a bill in a manner reflecting the sum opinion of their constituents, ignoring career risk, lobbyist dollars, and party purity tests.”

I rage against modern insurance, but that would be fair IMHO. If you aren’t responsible enough (excepting for parts availability) keep your car updated as mandated, why should the insurer continue to bear the increased risk for the same compensation? Do your job, then make them do theirs.

The U.S. tried to get Castro like Carl Lewis tried to sing.
