I believe in virginia, they call that “Excessive Acceleration”, or they did many years ago.... had a friend in the Navy got tapped in his Civic for that one.

That was my first ticket :) I was showing off my little 72 Datsun 510. Friend at the grovery store I worked at didn’t believe my little car could burn rubber. I threw it in reverse, and popped in first, laid 15 feet or so out of the parking lot, and got another chirp on the four lane for second. Then, the cop that had…

*sigh* just color me drooling... I’ve wanted a Skyline, or a Sylvia, for almost 20 years now, since I first found them on an old PS game. I come across them from time to time on the streets, and just ache from jealousy..... Enjoy the machine.

“Even at the time, it was a baffling strategy: it’s not on the defense to explain what happened, only to poke enough holes in the state’s version.” or to provide an attempt for reasoning for Ineffective Counsel :)

Got in, as well, and a pretty impressive first dish!!!

I'm more of a Makita guy, altho hoping to afford a Milwaukee for my next one. Still, gotta agree, definitely a must have as first power tool, and right behind a hammer and 2 screwdrives on the list!

Gotta say, I'd NEVER turn someone onto Anime by means of "Graveyard of the Fireflies". I swear by Miyazaki-san, and worship the paper he sweats upon, but this is NOT the show to get someone to enjoy anime. IF they like this show, it would set the goal so high that I can't think of what I'd show them next. The more…

Just recently watched this, not a bad small series at all...

hahaha Edward : “You’re killing me...” :)

Join the military. It will provide you a group with which to belong, it will give a goal in life, provide structure, and a sense of self-worth that can make you a force to reckon with the rest of your life.

I use the Dr. Scholl’s foot powder in my dress shoes. I let them air out one day after wearing, then put a “squirt” of the powder in the bottom of them, and let it sit until next rotation. I have 4 pairs of dress shoes, worn for work week only, so they get worn at most 3 times ever two weeks. which gives them enough…

Just wanted to say, from a Squid to a Joe, Thanks for your service.

I just wanna say, I’m guilty as hell for using “dear” or “sweetheart”, but that kinda tends to be my response to most of the females in my life, as is “dude” or “man” for most of the guys. In a ver small defense, there are several “ma’am” and “sir” responses, almost as likely. I do catch myself saying those things to…

I was actually watching to see if the tire kept rolling back into view out into the field :)

I used to know enough in 5-6 languages to find the bathroom, order a beer, get in a bar fight, and get my face slapped. Although, I’m relatively sure, that a couple of the slaps were due to misshapen attempts to go pee with a full bladder....

The times I was in France, except for the D-Day ceremony, the French in general did not seem the least inclined to be conducive to helping me work out what I needed. Marseilles and Cannes were exceptions, in that some people there seemed to be mildly accepting of the fumbling American and his miserable attempts at…

Fracas? Not being nice? He's a fucking asshole, and he punched a producer. That's lack of respect, that's being a proper cunt, and he deserved to be fired.

That'll be me. Won't make enough of a dent, but I'm attempting to start budgeting, and hope to get a handle on it.
