“non-rhythmic” suggests it’s not accessory-belt related. I’d go with a solenoid as well.

The Pats seemed to be able to out-muscle the Chargers whenever they needed to. Whether it was Edelman pushing through a DB for first-down yardage, Gronk and Develin opening up a hole near the goal line like a Panzer through undergrowth or just Gronk Gronking (“Catch ball; Run; Small Men grab me; Run through Small Men;

Last year I pulled up next to a Ford 289 TVR at a gas station. It was a maniacally delightful little device. And it growled so endearingly when it pulled out into the traffic of SUVs and trucks, the tires of which were taller than its roof.  

Isn’t Nutella singularly responsible for the destruction of rainforests and the imminent relegation of orangutans to “Every Which Way” Clint Eastwood reruns?

No Spitfire, Spridget or Jag? No love for the 60s Brits?

Taunus, not “Tanus.” Tanus sounds like that part just south of the taint. (And the V4 didn’t appear until the early 60s.)

“National Ball League?” Kinda catchy, if you ask me.
