I’ve been on this site for quite a while. Long enough that I still take a certain weird pride in getting my first commenter star from Murilee (that saucy minx) back in his heyday.
This ranks right up with that.  Thanks for all the hard work and all the automotive weirdness you soak up and filter back to us with the

I’m just surprised that a band specializing in brass remakes of rock songs is so punk.

Wait a minute. Ya think that’s EASY?
David has an entire nation full of weird rust-o-phile jeepists following him around the country as he flirts with tetanus, asphyxiation byfromn old jeep chassis that simply dissolves into its constituent molecules while he’s beneath it and getting busted for laundering sketchy

That’s why you’d have to properly select the war-head.

We really should just nuke Dallas.
On the positive side, it would vaporize a bunch of Q dickheads; on the other positive side it would erase Dallas.
Hell, choose the right war-head and we could also wipe out the Cowboys and the hell-hole that is Jerry’s World.

And not a single dude named “Pink” in Pink Floyd, either!

Well of course Planet 10 was found in the 80's...

Right. I’ll have one>

You can get Hatch green chile in space but you still cant’ get a decent sopapilla in Texas.

Well, you start with people who fervently believe their magical sky-friend will help their team win football games, pour righteous indignation down their throats for 25yrs along side telling them that, despite their obvious shortcomings of all kinds, they are the chosen ones. 

Dangit, Torch! You left out the single most important piece of this automotive repair parable:
Did you replace the cheap, chinese corrugated cardboard battery cover with something more freedom-loving and ‘Murrican enhanced?  I’m thinking a big honkin’s slab of double-thick cut from a box previously containing fire-arms

In a surprise ending, #64 on Boba’s powerpoint slide deck is “kill everyone in attendance, seize their power. “

As someone who has worked in an autoshop and has done internal and customer tech support in a handful of industries, I can assure you, regardless of his technical skills, he was a genius at managing his customer’s expectations.
That’s the trick to any engineering/support operation.

If you think that was the most infamous prison riot in America then you need to read up on the New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot in 1980. Prisoners took over the facility and broke into a construction site on the grounds, stealing hand tools and acetylene torches that they then used to break into the isolation wing

Did you learn nothing from Montgomery Scott’s starship repair maxim?
Multiply any realistic repair estimate by a factor of 4 before giving it to anyone.
Deliver actual repairs in half that time and look like a hero.

You’re gonna get tweeted at now!

Do you really need a manual for your ‘thopter?
I mean, reassembly is the same as assembly in reverse.

Yeah.  On a road trip up I35 from San Antonio to OKC this summer there multiple construction zones along the way.  On the Tx side they did the typical “construction zone ahead- “x” miles” and it was backed up but the OK DOT had the “construction ahead, prepare to merge” and “merge now” signs and it was surprisingly
