I still say this movie stole much of its edginess from Lord Love a Duck.

I love their “driving a car” analogy.

I simply don’t understand the hatred for the Juke. My neighbor had one (leased) and absolutely loved it. I think the styling was fine. Much better than my other neighbor who had a Rav4 which manages to combine bland with ugly.

Actually, considerably less than cyber stalking. Such microchips are pretty limited in what they can do. They cannot, for instance, access the GPS network and be used to locate them. That would require considerably more power than the devices can accept, as well as inconveniently large antenna and a processor the size…

A little late, but still going to add it here. Roy Rogers: Terraplane Blues.

I don’t shave, but I do clip them down to a fine fuzz because braiding them is too much of a hassle.

You bastard. 

Thank you.  I do my best, but I also know others might do better.

“Old age is always fifteen years older than I am.”

I work semi-part time, which means between 2 and 4 days a week, most months. It’s enough for me to get by. However February was a bad month, with only a total of 49 hours. That didn’t pay my bills, but it could have been worse. I have a pretty good nest egg built up. (I could weather a full year with zero income, I…

Family is who you choose to be family. Sometimes your blood family has a head start, but that is all.

I didn’t think you were comparing. Just having a conversation.

Oh, I know other people have it worse. He’s a shit person, but there are plenty of shit people to go around.

Well, I would have been not quite 14, so not beyond the realm of possibility. Was your Mom brunette?

Relevant boy story: A friend of mine from high school back in the day got in major trouble for building a bomb out of some black powder and some old aluminum wind chimes. The idiot touched the thing off (little more than a big firecracker) just as his mom got home from work early. KABOOM!

My Brother is a jackass, and has been for decades. Had 13 kids, then left his wife (who is also a piece of work) using the excuse “I just want to be happy. Don’t you think God wants me to be happy?” So stage set, right?

I had this problem here the other day. I called another poster a “kid” which caused him to become incensed. “I’m not a kid! I’m thirty!”

What this article fails to mention is there were plenty of aircraft capable of a nonstop trans-Atlantic flight in 1937. Amelia Earhart did it in 1932, and several other pilots had completed the flight about the same time.  Some from east-to-west, which was considered more difficult.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant. I wouldn’t eat at a Carl’s Jr. on a bet. Same level of quality as a Taco Bell or Subway. There’s plenty of considerably better fast food within walking distance of my house, although there’s a Carl’s Jr. about a half mile away. About a block from a Del Taco and a Popeye’s Chicken.

Ha! Should have been. He packed more life into fifty years than most people pack into a lifetime. Although there’s some argument about how old he was when he died (he was claiming 53, but was probably closer to 60, if all his stories were true.)
