I wish the Top Gear folks had told Clarkson that, in lieu of dismissal, he could keep his job as long as he did a full year of shows in a dress, with matching accessories.

This is might be common knowledge, but I remember a one pager about the late Jim Clark in C&T or R&D, about 45 yrs ago, making the claim that Clark was the smoothest driver ever.

Might be a stretch, but here goes:

Does the truck have a “kneel mode” or drop-down running boards?  I’m looking at where the bottom of the door comes on Musk and it looks like a climb.

If this is the Matt Helm installment in which he uses a magnetic ray gun to pull down the zipper on a woman’s dress I saw it at a theater as a kid, though I can’t recall if it had been recently released or out for a few years by then.

I don’t know what this even means. The whole point of the comment I made was to criticize Ms. Parker’s behavior and Mr. Harriot’s celebration of it. You replied with a racist comment that said an entire “population” behaves that way.

Wow, that was a lot to pack into your original:

Dear god.  I see it.  I just can’t believe it.

Well, I’ve already explained that that wouldn’t work very well:  what’s holding up the process isn’t the people who are already standing and waiting to go.

No.

No.

You wrote a whole column about a tennis player who thought physically attacking an opponent over an “aggressive” handshake was an acceptable thing to do, apparently endorsing her view. It isn’t.

I stand up immediately, like immediately. I’m 6'3" with a history of back and knee issues (though gone now) and the sooner I can stand up and extend my joints, the better. I flip the arm rest up and am usually the first person standing in my area by significant margin. If you want to take exceptions, take them with…

I guess you were riding so close to the parked cars because of the complaints you mentioned that you got from drivers, but sooner or later, anyone doing that’s going to get a car door opened on them.

Am I the only guy who puts a finger on the back of the blade to keep it against my skin and prevent it from pivoting as I shave?

I shaved in the shower for years before I finally conceded that I was wasting quite a bit of water. Now I shave as soon as I get out, while my face is still wet and honestly it’s really about the same in ease and effect —plus I don’t have to do any tricks to make sure I don’t shave off my sideburns.

If the gazillion packs of Trac II’s I used to buy at Costco --and then spend 6 to 12 months using-- are any indication, I think those blades are dulling over time in the box.

You don’t have to guess or assume that the estimates of flow rate are what you want them to be, just turn the water on at the usual rate, time how long it takes to fill a vessel and extrapolate from there. I no longer remember the result, but I was startled when I did this years ago.

But of course...

I’ve known several women who told me they weren’t able to achieve orgasm until they started using a vibrator. I’m not knocking them or suggesting that they shouldn’t be used. I’m saying that women (and men) can get so accustomed to orgasming from a certain stimulus that cumming any other way can be difficult.
