The Mayan remained independent until the early 20th century unlike the Aztec. This is probably because they had no gold.

Perry Mason was bad, even if you aren’t familiar with the novels, movies and previous tv series it was bad. But not as bad as Penny Dreadful: City of Angels which lived up to the dreadful part of the title.

I made a porterhouse steak with a wine and butter sauce, sauteed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, tossed salad, and a Merlot. An apple and a glass of brandy afterwards. You gotta eat something and when you’re having Christmas alone you might as well enjoy it.  

My roommate in college claimed Pennsylvania Dutch women were the best cooks in the world, if you told them what to make. But if you didn’t they’d make green beans with ham. Apparently that was both his mother’s and his grandmother’s favorite. (Potatoes were just assumed and didn’t need to be mentioned.)  

Before the Rav4 lots of suburban moms bought Jeep Cherokees for the same reasons: safe, small, easy to park, lots of room for groceries or hockey equipment.

And now the RAV4 PRIME is second fastest.

American Gods and Raising Daisies had a major death too. Did someone unexpected  die in the first episode of Hannibal?

Shame it's slower than a RAV4.

People who buy sensible cars don’t hate cars. They just aren’t impractical or unrealistic.

All cars are transportation appliances.

Has 300 hp already. But it’s never going have a manual.

The first gen RAV4 is every bit as interesting as the Pao and unlike golf cars can legally be driven on the highways at highway speeds.

When we entered WWII out military ranked between Portugal and Roumania.

1/2 the sales are are made to people between 24 and 50 in age.  

If you liked the Hobbit you may also like The Watch starting Jan 3 on BBC America. It’s what happens now that Terry Pratchett isn’t around to protect his Discworld novels from adaption. 

Bright was better than the Hobbit Trilogy. 

Well for the 23 million unemployed last spring getting an extra $600 a week was a pretty big deal. Remember that was in addition to whatever the would get from their state. My son in law earned more on unemployment than he does working.

$600 a week that was in addition to whatever the state unemployment would be.

Mitch becoming tired of being the second most evil Republican in Washington refused to pass this bill in time to save Trump's ass. Trump is out and Mitch is number one. 

No one is coming to my house for Christmas and I’m not planning on visiting anyone. So I’m making the simplest chocolate chip cookie. You take a bag of chocolate chips and put them in a bowl with a cover. Then when you want a cookie you instead get a tablespoon of chocolate chips out of the bowl and eat them.
