As we used to say in UC-land, we drink all we can; the rest we sell. Cheers to you if you can find Utica Club outside a 30-mile radius or so of Utica (I think the Fort Drum Class Six store carries it, but that's really pushing it). Best $14/case brewski there is.

Phoenix, Arizona, of all places, is a "great hockey town?" Really? Name one Phoenix native in the NHL. OK, name one Phoenix native in all of professional hockey. Hockey in Phoenix is kind of like having a saguaro cactus growing in one's back yard in Syracuse, New York - an oddity to say the least. I have heard,…

I like the last one. Maybe you can use the big 6" drainage pipes to make a carport/garage or a greenhouse. I wonder if somebody on eBay has old GP-Medium army tents for sale.

It sure would say to the whole world, "f*** you, bitches! I'm so loaded I can buy a supercar that was actually driven by the Stig on BBC television (certificate of authenticity in a frame in my den), and then do this to it!"

Jaaaaaaguar?

Man, if it weren't for my old lady, I wouldn't be doing it either. But I'm up anyway, so I do it because 6:30 is a ridiculous time to be showing up to work.

And the most lucrative sinecure ever.

Handle that will hold 40 pounds of salt without tearing to shreds, more like it.

Well, it depends on the moving crew and truck you need to hire to move from point A to point B, and who's paying for it. I remember Dad telling me he used most of a tractor-trailer to haul everything one time. The company probably paid for it, so he didn't worry about it. Now, if it's you paying for it, I can see…

Well, for one thing, they put the tail fins on the wrong end of the car.

Well, I guess mornings are out, then. I shower off, put on my bizniss casual stuff, and off to work I go. If I had to do all that other stuff, I wouldn't be getting up at 5 to do it, that's for sure.

Maybe they need to get busy on the new-new Top Gear. Find an Englishman, a Scot, and an American (for comic relief), and put them together in an all new format, the implementation of which I will leave to the fine producing people at the BBC.

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.
