The spelling is better than that of at least half the college students I teach. Sigh.

No, you'd have to go up to a Mtn, obviously.

I have a friend from grad school whose husband, who flew the B-1 in Afghanistan, just got his orders to transfer to Beale and fly the U-2. Even though I was a Skunk Works junkie when I was a kid, I wasn't even aware the U-2 was still operational!

11 feels generous...my 73 Ranchero with a 351 only got about 9. Still, NP all day.

But...you could repaint the F-5 black, call it a MiG-28, and go find a rival pilot who wants to "communicate."

I don't know about the whole Internet, but that certainly wins my corner of it.

And this is why I haven't touched a video game in years.

In my younger years (about to date myself), I wrote to and got responses from Jennifer Capriati and Kerri Stug, and Chris Berman gave me advice on getting into sports broadcasting (yeah, that didn't pan out). I also wrote and received a reply (with photo) twice from Kathy Ireland. She counts, right?

Exactly! When they clear with just a puff of dirt and dust, you kind of want to cheer.

NP because hearse. Duh.

Now, drop a zero off that price...

At one point in those credits I started to wonder if they were just throwing names up there waiting for the audience to call their bluff.

That's pretty much every college, no?

Yes. All kinds of yes. Just looking at this and I'm making involuntary motor sounds with my mouth.

As it got closer, I thought, "Aw, that's just an ATV, this won't be satisfying at all."

Good! Thank you for releasing years of childhood angst!

"...and it's going to die."

This reminds me, emotionally of an episode of CHiPs I saw as a kid where some guy was going around new car lots and smashing imports up with a hammer, yelling "Next time buy a big one!" Pretty sure a Porsche or two got caught in that, and I cringed as a kid.

But I chuckled at this.

Fortunately I'm reading this in the restroom, but yeah, the thoughts crossed my mind already. My first car was a 73 Ranchero 500 with a 351 Cleveland Cobra Jet, so I'm biased.

Well that didn't take long. I like the blue, however.
