Yep, “Last, Last Words” and “PTA”.  Good tunes but not even in my top 3 from that album (which is pretty incredible).  Was really hoping for some “Belly of the Whale”, “Ghostwriter”, and “How to Rot”.  Hopefully War on Christmas will satiate that.

I’m here with you. My son had it once and got obsessed with it... But I would never let him have it. I think my denial is what catalyzed the obsession... Because I finally tried it once when there was nothing else around and I couldn’t put up a fight with him that day. It was good, but nothing great. Waffle fries were…

Precisely. I can almost guaranty that the bean-counters at CFA are perfectly okay with this. A sale is a sale. I’m sure there’s plenty of people behind the scenes (including Franchisees) who can’t wait for Dan Cathy to die, and it has nothing to do with having a principled stand on LBTQ+ issues. Adding Sunday will…

This was my thirteenth consecutive riot fest (cue all the rote old timer jokes), and hands down my worst one. Some of that was me. I had a tough time deciding whether to use my 2020 pass because you know why, but ultimately decided to with some ground rules: wear a mask basically the whole time (and always during any…

Acura MDX (2008). I hated that car. We bought it (used) because our prior car was an Acura TL (99, great car); and the TL was was of the few midsize SUV’s that had a third row. The throttle response sucked. Mushy and...unresponsive. Lots of mechanical issues (Can’t remember what they were, but remember that the…

Typically there's treaties between countries to respect one another's patents and trademarks... But I don't know if that requires separate registrations in the countries... And it's a rabbit hole I'm not real inclined to climb down.

This is a tough one. I mean the term “Peg” itself was created by Dan Savage, and I from what I’ve heard on the rumor-mill, he’s part of the LGBTQ community. And actually, Dan Savage didn’t actually come up with the term, one of his readers did as part of a write-in contest, but DS popularized it. He also was the…

Your two favorites together (which you’ve probably watched dozens of times).

Not picking a side in this fight, because I just don’t know. That said, I think one the problems in this area is that there are a lot of 4x4 owners who think they can continue to drive normally (i.e. like a jackass) in snowy and icy conditions because the 4x4 will save them.  Even if the 4x4 provides some additional…

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”

I don’t know where to start with this, but let’s go:

Here’s the thing: I just don’t get it.* I was at WDW 3 years ago with my wife/sons, and an Aunt who works for Disney (yay for comps!). We had a really great time, but that was because of my sons. And all of the food was okay to pretty good (from the snacks to the “fancier” WD hotel restaurants)...but none of it was…

Not so much a meal plan, but when I was in college we found a pop machine in the Agricultural building that would refund your money if you paid in dimes. Wisely, my roommates and I never shared this hack with anyone, lest it get shutdown/fixed... and once a week or so one of us would go during a downtime, and fill up…

I know what you’re saying... But NP/ND wouldn’t be any fun if we all just ran to kelly/BAT/ebay motors and obtained an objective valuation.

Lucrative careers, amazing food, the fashion, really good looking people, insanely beautiful public parks, some of the best art and museums in the world, the nightlife, the ability to walk/bike/public transit everywhere (not everyone is a jalop), professional sports teams in every league (often multiple teams), and…

We’ve got that in Chicago to: “dibs”. And that practice can be complete bullshit depending on parking congestion in your respective neighborhood. If there’s normally plenty of spare street parking and you dig your car out, that’s fine.

Can we add to that the assholes that do tunnel pulls, particularly when they’re behind me. Here’s the thing asshole: you’re mentally prepared for the explosion that’s about to reverberate through a cement tube.

Isn’t the “hood scoop” over the engine facing the wrong direction?

It’s actually $85k if you want the brakes.  Either way, it’s a steal.

I used to have a 1980 C-3 Corvette L-82, black with white leather interior.* a/k/a the chest hair and gold chains vette.
