I forgot about that. Too bad he got whacked by his own people (in the movie).

Sweet. Did you ever beat him?

In the early ‘80's NBC put together an extremely bad television miniseries about an invasion of Alaska by Soviet forces. The whole thing ends in a nuclear exchange after some Alaska National Guard troops get in the way of the Russians. It starred such paragons of the ‘80's as Cathy Lee Crosby and David Soul, with Rock…

Gimme the TR-7. Or maybe the T-Bird. Interesting that Jeff Gordon ordered a brand new Ford. I wonder if that caused the guys at Chevy some heartburn, or he had to drive it with a disguise on.

Me too. Well played.

Damn. Now everyone will know I voted for John Kasich in the Republican Primary.  

We adopted a dog that was described as a ‘Doberman/Weimaraner mix’. She had a Weimaraner type head with floppy ears, but a Dobie body type and docked tail.

Full Disclosure: I am a TCU fan and we play Ohio State this year at JerryWorld.

All of my cars except one (including my current Ranger) have had standards. I love them and taught my wife to drive on one in the parking lot at the old Texas Stadium in Irving. Which is where the Dallas Cowboys played when they still knew how to win.

When I was four, my babysitters had a chicken coop. I won’t get into the gory details (although it was cool) but I watched them do a mass processing one day. I think the slaughtered and froze something like 15 chickens. I learned a valuable lesson.

I.have a Charge2 and I struggle to see it as ‘hefty’. I tend to forget I have it on. Maybe that’s because I grew wearing Timex’s that weighed a lot more than this.

I know you are going to get a lot of replies on what else should be on this list. I just bought a couple of 1/4 sheet pans. Like a sheet pan but only 1/4 of the size. Since both our offspring are in college it really comes in handy when my wife and I are cooking for ourselves. Doesn’t take up as much oven or storage…

As a parent who has gone through this, I doubt this is really just about dietary quality. Parents who go and eat with their child are one thing, but parents who just drive by and drop something off (leaving the front office staff to deal with getting the food to little Suzy) are another thing. If that food gets lost…

What’s weird for me is watching Chase Elliott race. His dad was the first NASCAR driver I really rooted for. Same with Ryan Blaney.

I have a Charge2. The only one of those features I really want is waterproofness. For the rest of it, I am willing to use my phone or do without.  

I had a friend in college who had a mauve Member’s Only jacket. The problem was that he was color blind, so he didn’t realize it was mauve when he bought it. It was fine. It was the late 80's, mauve was cool.

This is true. I saw one of their WP-3A Orions on the ramp at Oklahoma City several years back. This was prior to the September 11 2001 attacks, so a flight nurse walking around the ramp with a camera taking pictures of government aircraft was a normally acceptable thing.

Really, you’re going Black Ops in that thing? Because that won’t get out to the bad guys.

I had a 2006 Mazda3 (non-turbo) for over 100,000 miles. I was in a wreck and totaled it, and that price is almost exactly what the insurance company gave me. Loved the car, that price seems right, NP all the way to the bank.

We just bought a Mazda CX-5 and I have to admit it’s pretty awesome. Maybe just a little underpowered, but I would say that about an NHRA Funny Car. Otherwise, it’s sweet.
