I don’t know about crab, but at least for crayfish their torturous demise will be much quicker due to much smaller size, their surface area: volume ratio is way higher than lobsters. But when you are boiling to death, I imagine it is not much of a consolation that it could be worse?

You knew it was coming!

I wonder if there’s anything else that could be used to open a glove box? Like a mechanical linkage that may be operated manually? Have any other manufacturers done such a thing?

As an Irish man, I’m more offended that people would not say paddy wagon out of fear of offending me.

Yeah. Can we say Barbarian? Where does it end?

I mean, I’m not going to stop using “Bugger” or “Long time no see” myself. Those terms have been stripped of their original intent for a while, and “bugger that” is just too much fun to say.

Nor did I know about no can do and long time no see. Did know about the “bees knees”, an attempt by Italian immigrants to say “It’s the business”, ie. The real thing. While I do not agree with your rant at the beginning of your post, there are a lot of examples in other countries and languages where non-native…

Should I also avoid using the word “sinister” for fear of offending left-handed folks?

Valley of the Horses, full stop. Opened up a whole new vista of cave-(wo)man sexytimes. Also Jondalar has a giant dick, apparently, and invented cunnilingus.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

Could’ve shortened the whole thing to: “Drunk”

All the games back then cost $50. I remember my first ever NES purchase, the extremely shitty Ghostbusters game, for $50 in 1988, which translates to more than $100 in value today.

I disagree. Prior to the N64, there was NOTHING LIKE IT. NOTHING!!!! Sure the PSX and Saturn were out, but playing Mario for the first time was a feeling that can never be recreated. I was born in the early 80's, my first console at the age of 4 was Atari, followed by a NES. 3D games were not technically new with the…

Starred for your horrible analogy.

Christmas annexed the Sudetenland. *DIES*
