I know I’m dating myself, but I never really got over Honda re-purposing the “Odyssey” model name to a minivan line. 

It’s a cute trick, but not terribly revelatory since Android is still ultimately based on a Linux kernel, and therefore more than capable of reading older FAT-style storage volumes.

Some years back I had locked my keys inside my house. I wanted to get the spare keys from my parents’ house a few miles away so I asked my new next-door neighbor - an older, retired fellow - if he could give me a lift to my parents’ place. Instead he just offered me the keys to his Civic which - from the outside - appe…

As a stereotypical middle-aged HD owner, I want to indignantly argue with your logic but ultimately I cannot.

I would only ask you to suspend final judgement on this pending the reveal of whatever sub-Sportster-sized bikes Harley is also apparently planning to import into the country as a further part of this…

NP all day for reliability alone. My 70+ year old neighbor has an `85 model more or less like this one except with AC. He is kind enough to loan it to me sometimes when I need to haul something big around town, and I have begged him repeatedly to come to me first if he ever decides to sell it.

Wow. I’ve had a MAME cabinet ever since 2001, but I must admit that all vector games-cab (the Asteroids one) looks pretty tempting.

His lies sound exactly like the kind my 12-year-old used to try...back when he was 10.

Clearly the President never watched the Electric Company as a child or this gaffe never would have happened....

Speaking as a vintage Harley owner, I think this is the smartest move HD has made in a while. The foreign market for their big V-Twins is apparently burgeoning while the company still keeps its fingers in its mouth while fretting over what to do about its shrinking U.S. share (*cough*Build and market smaller bikes…

Salsa. For about $1.50 worth of ingredients in your blender you can make salsa that easily beats store-bought brands in quality, volume, and price per ounce.

An offshoot of ICE....
...SPICE?

For the last five years my Father’s Day wish list has specified the same two requests, just for the one day, if at all: A relative degree of autonomy, and the opportunity to speak a complete sentence without interruption.

This kind of thinking is not just the purview of traditional religious conservative groups. Many New Age types, particularly those wrapped up in the “Indigo Child” movement, are anti-vax as well, as I believe this map represents that well in the West showing how the somewhat hippy-ish northwest coast melds into the…

The New York Times recently ran a piece where auto experts and safety advocates pushed a shift in philosophy toward buying newer cars for new drivers...Advances in safety technology mean that old “beaters” are no longer the best choice for young adults, or new drivers generally.

I have been known to use this notion rhetorically as a way of to convey to my kids my frustrations with their obstinance and/or feigned ignorance, e.g. - “Do you understand the words I am saying to you right now, or do I need to send you a text to ensure that you’ll actually understand me?”

It would never occur to me…

Grab them by the nino...

I like to think of this as a preview of Trump’s forthcoming saber-rattling military parade. Put a hot mic on him when the tanks go rolling by and I’m pretty sure you’ll hear him making “G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g.....BOOOOZH” noises.

That price is pure CP and I never liked the body styling on those late 80s, early 90s Mustangs anyway. They’re like a reverse mullet: party in the front, business in the back (the “business” here looking like someone trying to break even in an MLM scheme selling laser toner out of his trunk).

My grandfather had one of these, except blue, bought brand new in 1975, and he truly loved the zippiness of it in comparision to the ginormous American lead sleds he had been driving for the 40 previous years. I remember making many runs through the drive-thru liquor window (“Here’s a bag of Doritos. It’s not a bribe,…
