There you go, blaming the victims.

I beg to differ. Clearly, you have never met my dogs.

Sorry but Romance was not rated “R,” and if you have seen that particular scene, that was no merkin. Full anatomical detail is given. (O.K., technically there is an “R” rated version of the film, but it does not include that scene.)

Can I just mention that this is probably the most delightfully beautiful thing that I have seen all day?

What is Texas?

One of my last trips to South Dakota was to Brooking for the marathon. We got a hotel for a few days, planning to spend some vacation time down there, and then we arrived and discovered The Truth. We checked out the morning of the marathon and drove home instead.

I do not blame the dealer; I blame Chevrolet. Everyone at this dealer was pretty knowledgeable about the vehicles that they carried. Our salesperson gave pretty accurate information about the Volt that we bought, even though it was a vehicle that they rarely had on their lot. (They had to track one down especially for…

Thank you, but I love driving cars, not hunting for them. I am happy to pay more to have a dealer do the work, and not have to worry about transportation.

My wife was the one who was pushing this, not me. If it happens, it was meant to be. If not, well, we shall see if the Ford dealer at which I bought the ST really…

My wife and I were just at a Chevrolet/Cadillac dealer outside of the Twin Cities on Saturday. They sell both new & used, and we were there to pick up a used Volt for my wife that they had found for us. (Sue me; the price was right, it was in great shape, it fits my wife’s needs, and damnit, it is a really nice car.)

Hey, I bought my ST exactly six months ago, and have put 2700 miles on it so far. You are actually precisely on par.

“$27K for a Tesla? That’s cheaper than I expected.”

I just bought his massive, nearly 1000 page long book The Food Lab a couple of weeks ago. I am about 400 pages into it, and devouring every word. As his readers all know, the articles are even more interesting than the recipes. And yes, his eggsperiments (sorry) are all in there. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Micheal Ansara tends to be one of the overlooked voice actors on the animated series. Mark Hamill tends to get all the attention, and while he certainly deserves much of it, actors like Richard Moll and Michael Anasara were equally indelible in their ownership of their respective villains. In Ansara’s case, having him…

Any Batman fan — and especially any fan of the animated series — who is not reduced to a quivering puddle of tears by that final scene in Subzero has no soul.

Road rage + lethal weaponry. Nope, absolutely no potential problems with that formula.

Hush your mouth. That means that it is also nearly the 50th anniversary of my birth, and I would rather not rush into that kind of thing.

Anyone who is responsible to enforce laws should not be casually breaking them. Full stop. Authority is a privilege, not a right. A badge and a gun should not immunize a person from obeying the laws that the are charged with enforcing (yes, I do understand that in practice this rule gets violated constantly, but that…
