Tidiness. The Swiss understand tidiness.

"The thing's hollow—it goes on forever—and—oh my God—it's full of [junk]!"

What F430? There's something in my eye.

You lucky dog.

Somewhere, a young dictator shakes his fists in the air at no one in particular, and thinks to himself, "If only, if only..."

What's up with the driver's cage? Trying to cut down on Zamboni-driver fights?

I have read about his background, and I bet he's terrific on stage.

It's a fun show, but it's all a bit cartoonish, except for his brilliant wit and worldweariness. Even looking at his character's lines that I typed out above, they are humorous, but not interesting, without Dinklage breathing life into them. Makes me want to see him do Shakespeare.

Bronn: Will you shut up? There’s hill tribes all around here.

Oh, I would study the Corgi catalog I picked up at the toy store and lust after those beauties. Too expensive for a hillbilly family, but my parents splurged on Matchbox for me, and at that time they have rubber wheels fitted to rims fitted to axles—that Hotwheels junk came later.

I would recommend the earlier Matchbox cars to you. When I was a kid, they still had rubber tires fitted to rims fitted to axles. I lusted after Corgi toy vehicles, but they were too expensive, and on my family's limited resources, even the Matchbox were a treat for a hillbilly boy.

So, when California falls into the sea when the really big earthquake comes, we're going to lose contact with all of our deep-space assets forever? What's the mission continuity plan? Where are the redundant systems? Where's my tinfoil hat?

Your point is well made, and thanks for suggesting some vehicles that are Japanese, rather than Japanese interpretations of foreign demands.

"I'm just covering very basic stuff— maneuvering in orbit."

I thought this was an established meme on Jalop: PMY, or p*ssy magnet yellow, the theory being that females are attracted to men with brightly colored vehicles, sort of like brightly plumed male animals in the wild.

Not that I condone the thefts reported in this video, but I walk next to much bigger thieves each weekday in the Financial District in Manhattan.

"No excitement, please. We're British."

It does appeal to certain people (of whom I am one) who like to watch a process move to a satisfying conclusion, like the dismantling of this ship, or Bob Ross demonstrating how to paint a picture.

Right. The title, narration, and music all suggest high drama, when the point of this operation is to produce as little drama as possible by using a lot of sophisticated risk management. (For example, all of the toxic substances would have been removed carefully from the ship first, then fixtures are removed, and a…

First, with terrestrial TV, there were only several channels and program variety had to be spread across time. Then came cable and satellite broadcasting, and digital technology allowed a wide variety of programs to occur at the same time, spread across the generous width of the digital pipe. Content was unbundled…
