Every man and woman will be responsible for their own deeds. To blame anyone else for the action that one takes is sheer cowardice and will not be accepted either here or in the hereafter.

Question: Somewhere, years ago, I read that all vodka produced in the USA was regulated by a law or regulation that essentially read that, in order for it to be called “vodka”, it has to be “a clear, largely odorless and flavorless liquor”, as you noted above. In your article, you note all kinds of flavors yet most of…

Just wait. It’ll be back someday.

Look for any 2*0Z*. I had a (used) ‘80 280ZX which I drove quite a bit between Winchester and Fairfax. Great fun to drive.

Curious why dolls are a thing. My wife apparently never played with dolls and neither did my daughter (now 24) nor my son, for that matter. (But I did. Go, GI Joe! Perhaps I am the nut of the fambly. )

Well, really they are not looking for the *best* but a particular sort of person who fits a particular lists of requirements who have grown up in the same sort of environment (military, medical, research, etc.) as a person who has 1000 hours of “in charge of aircraft” type of experience or someone who knows how to be…

To be a bit pendantic, KC Metro area is over 2Mil. people. Kinda like DC is only, what, around 500k people, but the DC Metro area is over 5 Mil. people.

In 2004, Manning and the Indianapolis Colts played the Kansas City Chiefs in the “first puntless game in NFL playoff history”. Final score 38-31. Being a Chiefs fan at the time, it was not a fun game, more like a tennis match.

Well, that and the Oxford shirt is cheap. Probably the reason most of us buy them. Cheap for dressing up and cheap for dressing down. People who think they are showing how cool they are (or are not) by the display of their selection of clothing really are just displaying what goes on in their head, for better or for…

Heck, the TUGBOAT for that thing is bigger than any non-military ship I have ever been on. (I was in the Navy.) WoW. Ship like that ought to be underway 9 months of the year and I bet it won’t go out more than 1 or 2 months a year. Just wow.

In 1984, I got a MW credit card. Didn’t realize it had a $140 credit limit. (KMart and the big super stores were not yet popular in our area back then, I don’t think.) Went over that limit the first time I tried to buy 2 sets of sheets and 2 really nice quilts on my first purchase so the purchase was denied. I just…

Your idea of a brain malfunction is someone else’s idea of a brain functioning quite perfectly. Your idea holds as little credence as theirs or as much. Just because one person thinks in one particular way certainly doesn’t restrict others from thinking in different ways, and, frequently, such that they enjoy the…

So, essentially, when one gets to be middle class, one spends nearly all, if not all, one’s money on the middle class version, rather than the poor version, of whatever you were buying before that took all your money. (Seems that way.) Theoretically, that stuff you buy is then better versions of the same stuff, but…

Now, wait a gol-durned moment. That ‘warsh’ thing is a mid-western accent thing I have no control over. Sadly, I live in DC now, where my kids were born in ‘91, so I get endless grief over that from them, too. (Don’t know that I drink ‘melk’, but I often hear East Coasters talking about ‘booshes’.)

Poor woman. I know the feeling. During my drivers license test I had an car with a manual transmission. During the “park on a hill” portion of the test, I managed to flood the engine. Both the police officer and I had to walk back to the testing center. Ugh. Not a good feeling then. Pretty funny now, fortunately.

Not offended. However, you keep using the phrase “passing the costs to the insured”. In this case, if I understand you correctly, the “insured” are the military personnel who you are recommending foot the costs. And many of them are not even making the equivalent of minimum wage. Many of their families also qualify…

*(for God and Country, I assume.) Sorry. And it almost made sense!

“Gates quipped that, at its current rate, the Pentagon would be a “health care company with a military” without action.” As a vet, I really just find that attitude offensive. The military pays the enlisted folk a LOT less than a living wage then expects them (for God & Country, I assign) go into life-threatening…

The 240Z was big on the East Coast. The 280Z and 280ZX were big in the MidWest. No idea how either faired in the west. I do like the light covers. I had those on my ZX. Loved them.

I did a quick glance at who wrote this article on main Jalopnik page, where I saw “Patrick” and obviously didn’t read the byline any further. On looking at this article, I read a few paragraphs, and thought “wha...??? You gotta be kidding me!!”, then finally re-checked the byline. So, apologies to Patrick (and Stef).…
