Someone posted Gallup polls showing how hated MLK was at the time of his assassination v. today. I find that instructive in the standard “We lost a big battle so let’s pretend we gave it away willingly” response that Power always finds itself making. (See: Voting rights act, womens’ suffrage, New Deal union laws.)

I’m a Nutmegger. I’ve been to NJ for work and pleasure (I became engaged in Cape May) and I have no ill feelings for the state which gave us Jersey Shore.

Are there actually pumpkin spice M&Ms? You should get extra stars for either reminding me of them, or making them up.

Lost In Space’s Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith), born Charasuchin, to poor Russian immigrants, was a practitioner of this accent so he could sound classy. Roles on live TV drama, some Twilight Zones, and a TV version of The Third Man followed. After Lost in Space, he got some villian typecasting, and also lots of…

It will be as big as the windshield, and will be mounted in lieu of the windshield, and show you, via camera, what you would see through an ordinary windshield.

It’s like buying a used car: The older it gets, the more provenance and care matters, and the further separated on any “distribution curve” of likelihoods two initially similar things can be.

I’ll put my best reporter on it. Get me Karen Ryan!

You’re right on all counts (well, I’m too lazy to do the research). Good details.

Roem’s big billboard was “Vote for me and I’ll get that road fixed”.

And in at least one interview (no cite, sorry) he talked about geeking out on production replay stuff (not his words) because ordinary fans like us get to see line play the way we never could before, understande what the position coaches see in their heads.

Not to quibble, but is the old “woodie” Mopar rig a “regular” (which nobody makes any longer IIRC) or a “Grand Caravan / Voyager“.

As the onetime owner of a Toyota (before it was named Taco) with the 22R, 5sp, 6' bed, and enough room behind the bench seat to store the Sunday newspaper, you obviously get a star. My doctor saw me getting into it and said, “Billy, your trick back is at its limit in that truck. Good thing you’re not 6'3".”

I wondered what someone whose avatar is a literal Invader would have to say on this subject!

On an almost weekly basis, our press was rife with this a declaration that I’d like them to adjust, now that the media have caught up with the rest of us:

It’s a starburst of color. No, actually a Starburst! I’ll take the orange.

A baker advertising the best cake you can get for a buck. What’s wrong with that?

Yankee here: North American children don’t have genitals until their 16th or 18th birthday, depending upon local custom. So we don’t let them see the bits, it’d spoil the surprise.

At the CFL Competition Committee meeting:

On top of this necessary and vital work, I can’t say enough about the dry British humor and anger resulting in the incredibly spot-on title “Cheer Up Luv”.
