"You can't compare the plotting of single 12 episode season to a show with 121 total episodes."

I see a lot of gum-flapping going on about "every show blah blah blah", and yeah, that's true to an extent. I'm not that naive. But "Lost" was such a colossal failure for the very reason you've noted here- they did "early on" indicate that the show would run a set number of seasons and no longer. Inherent in that…

Michael Emerson was awesome as Ben Linus, but that blurb just proves what I always supected about 'Lost'- they really were making it up as they went along. Sadly, that produced the worst, most insipid TV series conclusion ever, utterly ruining what was a once compelling show.

<3 here, subbed there, life is good!

Well, I bought the Chevelle in '78 and sold it in '78. It had replaced a Porsche 914 that I'd had for an even briefer period, but that pretty much closed the book on my youthful "car-guy" days. After that, my car history was pretty well shit (well except for a sporty MX-6 that my wife totalled in 97).

Heh, I bought the header from the same fellow who was selling me his Flash Pro (so yup, covered there!), neither of which he needed any longer after mistaking 2nd for 4th at 90, causing his engine to a'splode Adding insult to injury, the towing company proceeded to drop the car off the side of a flatbed hauler.

Your comment is hyper-resonant to me, in triplicate!

Lordy don't that look like "The High Life!"? Girls, guns and Ghias (not to mention leather and porn-stache...)

I will also say, "Well played."

Bet this is safer than those combustible old composites, and if the Navy orders right now, they'll double the offer (with separate S&H, natch!)

Heh, you've just reminded me of something; I'm 53 and have zero tattoos or piercings, and no desire for same. However, back in 1990, to celebrate my 5th year of employment at the Midwest Parts Distribution Center of Mercedes Benz of NA (a warehouse job), I was given a tie-tack of the company logo. It wasn't the…

But where is it now?

My dream (after a lottery win or so) is to mid-mount a Hemi in a 1G Sebring.

What's to question, specifically? People have been putting electronics near copious amounts of super-conductive liquids for decades now. The technology to isolate them from one another is not new.

For the sake of context- and for the elucidation of your US cousins- please tell us, how many plays could one get for 70 pence in 1983 (free bonus credits excepted)?

Negative- you had to start the game from a particular option screen, that signified you were making an attempt.

Poor motor obviously has "The Rot Stuff", amirite?

I realized even as I was writing that that without context, it sounds like an act of idiotic stupidity. Hell I'd love to see that car again, or a nice example of same, and there just aren't a lot to be seen. But this was mid-90's and they were pretty damned common. I think we bought it for a grand or so, put 50K…

Fellow I sold an '84 Celica liftback to killed it by jacking up the rear wheels and placing a brick on the gas pedal. So I guess my answer is "brick on the gas pedal".
