Ouch— another alternative history that we were lucky to avoid.

Who?

Ford's next step after the Aluminum F-150. It will do the Kessel Run with an average MPG of 27 parsecs.

I like Rick Springfield on all levels— actor, singer, and good guy. But I am happy that he turned down a role in The Right Stuff.

I knew it— his brain really is the size of a walnut.

I kept waiting for the show to find itself, but it never lived up to its considerable potential. It had a good core of actors and characters, although the secondary actors were a decidedly mixed bag.

"I like heroes who aren't dismembered."

All of them. My albums are gathering dust, and my cassettes are slowly decaying unmourned. I bought (re-bought) the digital version of albums that I love to listen to as complete albums, have a lot of "almost" complete albums that lose the one or two songs I hate (calling Bungalow Bill and Revolution #9….) and have…
