Fury: "Where is my eyepatch?"

In my years as a tech I have seen some strange home repairs. My favorite is how to lower your car for free by cutting a portion of the springs on a car. The really bad ones would have their springs fall out when the car was lifted off the ground.

Thanks for the good wishes. I admit that crash messed me up good, but at least I am still breathing. At present I have a heart defect, a minor brain bleed, and a busted spine all from the accident. Many surgeries later I am getting back to where I was before this mishap.

a la Alton Brown perhaps? I switched to charcoal a couple of years ago and could not be happier. The vegetable oil on newspaper trick was shown on Good Eats. It makes starting charcoal so much better.

In this image, the emergency responders are tending to me. They pulled me out from under that F-150. The truck had to be jacked up because I was wedged under it. Right after the accident happened, people that witnessed it tried to get me out but could not. The first cop at the scene could not feel my pulse so he…

While I totally agree about Eureka having a good run and going out on top, it was the back-pedaling that pissed me off. They renewed it for a sixth season, reneged, cancelled the season after they approved it, and giving it one final episode to tie up the story. And they only caved because of the backlash they…

Agreed. In the end, it is all about money. That is the backbone of our outdated Nielsen ratings system. When it comes down to it, they want the number of people who watch the ads that air with the show over the show itself. I accept that MGM was buried, and that was a major factor in the whole SGA and SGU debacle.…

No worries, mate. Unlike others, I have no problem being called out on a mistake. I make them. Good show though. ;-)

Fox cancelling quality but struggling genre show is SOP anymore. The most blasphemous is SyFy, and their track record of cancelling high quality shows to make room for phony ghost hunting, reality, and cooking shows is preposterous. I am still beyond pissed about SGU and Eureka. Now I will give the benefit of the…

I like your handle. I am a chronic insomniac, so that describes me perfectly.

Our earth rotates counter-clockwise. If you look at the rotation like a turning cylinder, a car at 6:00 pointed east (towards 5:00) counteracts the normal rotation when going forward.

I will say the same thing that I did when it was posted on one of the sister sites here:

I just bought a matte high-res MBP 15. Now normally I would be pissed to learn that a much nicer Pro is coming out right after I bought mine. But the idea of ditching Ethernet and optical drives makes me glad a got mine now. Yeah, you could get USB network dongles or optical drives. That sounds like a hassle to…

I cannot describe how much I LOATHE working on vans. Worse if it's a diesel. Even more worse if it's a specialty van (ambulance, 4WD). I rarely turn away jobs, but anything worse than a LOF on a van gets a "Thank you, but f—k no." from me. Most of it was because we only had one lift that could pick up a van, and…

That being said, the premise is laughably far fetched. They better have something to explain why neuro-electrical energy still works but chemical electricity does not. And the saviour of electricity on a USB jump drive? Talk about a paradox.

I'll check it out for 2 reasons: first they cancelled Awake (frakkers, but not totally unexpected), and second Billy Burke makes an awesome bad guy (Philip Stroh on The Closer) so it could be refreshing for him to be a sword wielding badass.

The manual is a bear to get used to. That car employed Honda's first-gen mechanical self-adjusting clutch. The clutch feel is one the hardest to get used to even if you are a seasoned three pedal driver. I have owned countless Honda/Acura cars. My only automatic is my 2000 TL. I had a line to buy one at a steal,…

I always fantasized about making one of those tests and making all the answers one letter, like B. It would be awesome just to watch everyone lose their marbles.
