Speaking of changing batteries, I couldn’t get the old battery out or the new battery in to my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe without a special tool that looks kind of like what they used to use to haul big blocks of ice around (only smaller and plastic). If there’s any justice in the world, when the people who design things…

Not a control really, but the battery in an old VW Bug was under the rear seat on the passenger side. I never bothered to check the level in the battery. It was, after all, a major pain in the ass to do so. You had to remove the seat cushion on the back seat. When the car wouldn’t start, I’d just add water.

“Biggs has been subjected to bad food, terrible sleeping conditions and very limited spa time. He hasn’t even been offered a private bathroom, so he can’t even shit in peace.”

If it weren’t for the fact that not getting vaccinated increases the chance for new strains of COVID to develop, I’d say let the anti-vaxers compete for this year’s Darwin Award.

I have noted, but not wondered why, women track athletes, woman’s beach volley ball players, etc., wear such skimpy costumes. I bet women’s’ beach volley ball gets higher ratings than mens’ beach volley ball does, and I bet I know why.

I don’t think animals like that should be destroyed for being animals like that. Roy Horn insisted that the tiger that mauled him not be harmed. And I think Chris Rock had it right.

I started dating my wife when she was 17. Over the next four years, we were far apart for about 18 months due to school and military service. She still has every letter I ever wrote to her. I don’t have anything she wrote to me.

Sounds race-driven to me too, but people can be dick wads about name suffixes with nothing racial involved too. I’m junior. It says so on my birth certificate. My father never went by senior, but the Army wouldn’t let me be junior unless my dad was senior, so I changed his name. My dad is dead. Has been for quite a…

US Army Basic Training.

If this thing is a death trap, that’s in keeping with the original concept.  My parents owned an original Jeepster, circa 1949-1951.  Those things were death traps too.

I’d like a Miata, but I need an extra-large, and they don’t come in that size.

Maybe, but it depends on what I have to do to prove it.

If an older male traveler can prove he has an enlarged prostate, the airline should charge the other passengers in his row so that he can have an aisle seat. After all, an afflicted customer is going to have to get out of that seat more than once on the flight.

I understand turn signals are a rarely selected dealer-installed option.

There’s an old saying:  Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.  If you can use the plane again, it’s a great landing.  Even if the plane needs some repair now, looks like a great landing to me.

Way back in 1959, Kurt Vonnegut published a book called “The Sirens of Titan.” In that book, there’s a church, the Church of God the Utterly Indifferent. It seems that Nietzsche was wrong, according to that church. God hasn’t stopped intervening in our lives because he died. God is bored with us, and off doing stuff…

Me too.  Where did I say anything about tailgating?

You are doing God’s work. Thank you. Now how do I shut off the auto-fill/correct that Microsoft has seen fit to recently add to my Outlook software?

When you hang a ceiling fan, it comes with a plate that attaches to the electric box. The plate has a hook on it so you can attach the fan to the hook while you wire the fan. That makes it much easier than trying to support the fan and wire it at the same time.

If this was 1961, I could understand calling long hair on a man controversial. But it isn’t 1961, it’s 2021. It’s not as common as it was some years back, but why should anyone care, or even mention it?
