True. No real sports car would only have just two gears in a system that they had to know sucked up quite a bit of that available power for itself. While having a smaller/lighter, but souped-up inline 6 probably made perfect sense, chaining it to a transmission more suited toward sedate family sedans kind of…

They don't have showers at your gym? That sucks.

I might point out that 150 HP was a lot in 1953, especially for a car the size of a '53 Corvette. I'm sure the car was plenty quick.

5am? Are you insane?

My frau the correctional officer just built enough seniority (about 17 years) to get day shift. The bad news is, the shift starts at 7AM with a pre-shift briefing at quarter 'til. So we're up at 5:30 so we can properly caffeinate and maybe have a light breakfast. Anyway, I'm out the door by 6:10 in my gym clothes,…

It can't affect my life if I don't waste time watching it. The moment I saw Chumlee drive the reasonably-priced car (I have no idea what idiot thought it was a good idea to change the name to "Big Star?/Small Car"), I knew A&E Networks wasn't really serious about putting out a quality show.

And those English teeth! Blimey!

Rum and Coke, as long as Coke means Coca-Cola, and not some off-brand stuff you might find at Wal-Mart. If you're worried about what might be in the well, you can specify Bacardi and Coke without offending the bartender.

Yep, kind of hard to screw up beer, seeing as somebody else made it. I think we were looking for cocktails, though.

The CNN article at the link suggests something like, "I'm currently (or was) making $X (the real number) to do such and such. What is the salary range for this job?" I would think that wouldn't automatically price you out of the job you are trying to get, while placing your expectations in line with both reality and…

I'm ambivalent about this. US labor regulations state that if tips don't add up to minimum wage, your employer has to make up the difference. So this business of $2.13/hr. is kind of, well, not as bad as it sounds. It still sucks.

Single-digit MPG, and worth it!

The Honda Civic is just a good small sedan. If you want a sports car, go buy one.

Well, I would be very wary of what I put on the back of my car. For one, I have to take it to work, so if there's a sticker on it from, say, Left Wing Loonies For Peace, I might as well be wearing it on a T-shirt in the office. Since I care what my boss thinks of me, for obvious reasons, the stickers on my car are…

I didn't think it was possible for someone to be that stupid on a Gawker site.

It's tres sexy. I take back the snide comments I made about its caboose in the last article.

I'll bet the U.S. Secretary of State and the President have passports, even if someone else is probably in charge of keeping track of their wherebouts, so this is kind of an invalid reason not to have one. I would simply say she doesn't require one because she is the Queen. Besides being one of the most readily…

If I said I hated spinach, would you say I meant that spinach was bad for you? How would that make sense? I only meant that if I didn't have something else to occupy my considerable mental bandwidth, I'd have a far harder time getting on the 'mill and staying on it long enough to do me any good.

That's probably from all the LSD they put in the water to enhance the Disney World experience.

The stuff that comes out of the tap has been tested and proven to be safe. The stuff that comes out of your well was probably last tested when it was dug, or when you bought the house.
