Other companies do the same. I’ve been there when Oracle hosted a bunch of employees and even hired Maroon 5 to do a concert, which was supposed to be a secret private event but was widely known. I was told about it by the car rental guy when I flew in. The difference being that Oracle doesn’t directly profit from…

One of my friends in college started school at a younger than normal age (I think 16?) so he couldn’t go to the bars with everyone even as a senior. He got an ID from somebody older and it worked every time he was asked for it. The picture looked absolutely nothing like him but he was Asian and so was the guy on the…

I almost put that in my post too. This was an option as well.

You need to add Floyd the barber at #2.

They wanted to have one of the main characters move in to that apartment so that they could use the same set. 

It’s kind of sad that TPTB decided to do that because the video is actually very enjoyable. 

The people who think autoplay video is a good way to force people to watch their ads will burn in everlasting hell. The ones who think disabling the pause or mute buttons while the ad plays is an even better idea need their fingernails pulled out very, very slowly while still alive.

So both a spoiler and a wing? Seems a bit “belt and braces.”

Yeah, there’s a bunch of 60s and 70s live action stuff, like The Gnome Mobile, is missing. For people my age who spent Sunday nights glued to The Wonderful World of Disney those are big omissions. 

I use that too. I use it a lot when I’m vacation and laying on a beach in Hawaii. That doesn’t suck.

will reflect that he was dishonorably discharged

Eh, coconut crabs aren’t so bad. Diego Garcia had some of them. Since they were supposedly pretty good eating they put in a rule making them off limits. The regular land crabs, on the other hand, were disgusting things. 

No Gnome Mobile? Then no subscription!

The only one on that list that I’ve seen is the one you don’t know about, Wendy Woo: Homecoming Warrior. I don’t remember any specifics but I think it was a kind of an Asian Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie not the series). 

New Oldsmobiles are in early!

Petit Le Mans is 10 hours not 24.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Three lefts do, though. 

I’m with you, David, fix what needs to be fixed to get it on the road and then enjoy it while working on the other stuff when you can. It’s probably more inline with professional restoration to take it totally apart but when you’re working on it as a home project with a minimal budget that would mean the car sitting…

At the very least they could have had a Cobra II Mustang instead of a Camaro.

I hope you get everything out of this adventure that you’re looking for, and maybe a few things you’re not. Afterall, it’s the surprises that are usually the best thing about a trip. I could never be happy living like that but that doesn’t mean you won’t be. Bon voyage!
