If we were talking about a single house, I could see the "burn it down and start over" approach.

Too bad.

Welcome back to the age of jive.

This reminds me of a trip to Pittsburgh I took once... there were mattress stores EVERYWHERE. Why is that, Pittsburgh?

Man, what a rough way to go. Poor sap.

Getting paid to do something you really enjoy/have passion for... that's what keeps it from being a "job."

I can't see getting $8,700 for those rims, so CP. You'll spend more than that in aspirin with all the headaches this thing might give you.

Nice! But I'd drop the rims to a 18 or 19 and put some healthy rubber on it. I like the paint.

Oh - another funny story...

I spent time at 3 theaters during my career. I started on Strong 1050's and then went to the Christie P35-PG, and finally back again to a smaller house with 1050's and 1060's. Thread times were well below 45 seconds, so I spent a good deal of time with not much to do. I cleaned 1 projector (tear down cleaning) per…

As a former projectionist myself, props to the guys who actually care for and properly maintain the gear. Too often I see kids running the projectors, and the film is out of focus, out of frame, and just... nasty. It does make or break the experience, and our local theater has run down so far that I refuse to go.

And its not limited to drunks. I mean... at least with drunks, there are likely times they'll be practicing amateur hour... 3Am on Sunday morning, for instance... Not as many drunks at 9AM Monday.

Because it is possible that wearing a seatbelt can be what kills you (in a very rare type of accident.)

The dangers of road head pale in comparison to the danger you'll face if your wife finds this post.

I appreciate you taking one for the team and saving us all.... Well... most of us anyway.

You've used the wrong font and color, sir.

I remember when a German car was very rarely anything other than a manual. When I first started driving, I didn't really understand why you'd want one. After I picked up the love for our (then new) '86 Mustang GT... Still I consider that to be among the most fun cars I've ever driven. I love a manual! Put a stick…
