You know what makes me old? The fact that I can barely type faster with 10 fingers than kids these days can with two thumbs.

Exactly. I’m not paying for the privilege of paying more next month. My internet company keeps trying that shit on me. “We’ll give you faster speeds for less money!” “Yeah? How long is the contract?” “One year!” “After that what does the price go up to?” “Oh, you don’t need to worry about that!”

I dunno about that. There’s plenty of “I’ma big he-man lookit my truck nutz” types here in the Pacific Northwest who drive Jeep Wranglers. Often tricked out with custom bumpers, flared fenders, suspension lifts, and a freakin’ snorkel. Where they think they’re going to ford any rivers is beyond me. There’s plenty of…

You’d actually be surprised. I was a part of a huge Triumph community from back in the day (been riding Hinckley Triumphs since 1996) and I’ve had to listen to a lot of idiots try to tell me about my bikes. The Harley guys are the worst, particularly the old ones.

My CJ was an 83, and perfect with hard top and doors. However they were just implementing DEQ testing here and it wouldn’t pass. Rather than fuck with it, I just sold it. I’ve regretted it ever since.

I rode a Triumph Speed Triple for years, and a Street Triple for years more. I got so tired of people asking me “What model of Buell is that?” and “Isn’t Triumph made by Kawasaki?”

I like to point out to any guy I see driving a Jeep or Miata that they’re driving a fat-girl’s car. (Seriously, take a little survey next time you’re driving down the freeway. Probably 70% of each are driven by a fat girl. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

If it had lasted more than about 12 hours I would be more concerned. On the other hand, I’m due to see my doctor anyway and I’ll mention it. I’ve been fine now for the week since then.

Last weekend I took my new neighbor rock hunting up by Mount Saint Helens. (We’ve been getting along famously.) So after a couple of hours of clambering around an old semi-dry stream bed (the mosquitoes and biting black flies were horrid) we came home. She was ecstatic, having found some quartz and jasper she really…

*Would daily drive*

You two.

If you were in the same room with me you would have earned a smack to the ear.

I have long since come to the conclusion that Susan Collins is neither a Republican nor a Moderate, but is in fact a coward afraid of doing anything that would jeopardize her position in the Senate.

I haven’t even heard anything about Prisoners, but I’ll take your recommendation under advisement.

It was patently obvious when he was nominated why Carrotface von Golfcart nominated this idiot and everybody knew it. It’s just that the Republicans in the Senate were to afraid of being primaried by one of His Orangeness’s legion of followers that got him confirmed. His performance and lack of professional demeanor…

I’ve seen Blade Runner 2049 and I enjoy it, although it has some problems that annoy me. I don’t love it the way I do Blade Runner. I haven’t seen Arrival so I won’t comment. Sicario I think is vastly overrated. I didn’t particularly care for it, although like you I would say it’s a visual feast.

Except that Princess Irulan actually is the narrator (or the pre-narrator) of much of the book. Most chapters start out with an excerpt from one of her many books on Muad’Dib. 

I was to understand that like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame that they were filmed simultaneously, but were going to be released separately a year or so apart. Denis Villeneuve has said on several occasions it will be split into two movies, and there has been some online discussion on where the split…

Not even being particularly familiar with the Morris Minor (but fully aware of what they are) I still saw them in about a second and a half.

Ever the optimist.
