I appreciate the reference. 

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy, absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than I personally admit. But, all new Ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any toothmarks at all anywhere on their bodies,…

Arbitration clauses like this should be illegal, full stop.

Modern cars are, for the most part, fantastic. Plus, you don’t have to worry about dying if you get into a minor car accident, and they’re – for the most part – better for the environment.

Yes, but they have to be asleep to do so.

“which was built at the company’s Shochaux factory in France’s Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region near the Austrian border.”

Normal cop behavior.  I’m sure, somewhere in the United States, there exists a cop that is not a bastard, but in all my 34 years, I’ve yet to meet one.

Well that’s why you have to be dressed fashionably at all times darhling...!

I’m of the firm belief that AM radio is important and to be preserved. Not everyone has a cell phone, not everyone has access to reliable charging and reliable income to pay the monthly bill, but everyone needs access to information on severe weather or other disasters. Plus, as union-hardrolls pointed out, AM radio…

Fascinating history lesson, thank you.

So if I’m reading you right, none of us should be buying cars capable of exploding in an impact?

In addition to yanking his security clearance, revoke his citizenship and deport him back to South Africa from whence he came. From there, maybe he can move on to a dictatorship more in line with his personal beliefs.

At the climax of that movie they investigate, confront, and arrest a group of corrupt cops working with a drug ring, so yes, they are absolutely better.

If I did my job even half as bad as Dion Corbin does his, I’d have been fired long ago.  He’s an incompetent twit that’s going to end up costing the city millions, but it won’t affect him, the people he terrorizes with his stupidity will end up paying for it.
