It’d be nice, not necessarily necessary but nice, if they’d put a hatchback on that cheap model, like I had on my ‘81 Corolla. Practicality is not a vice!

How much does the cheapest model, which probably won’t do 200 MPH, but on the other hand, even if you really want to go 200 MPH, where in the world can you actually do that, how much is that one?

The only place to put a screen in a Gordon-Keeble is on the passenger side anyway.

Dirty Knobby, get ready, he said to himself. And then he thought of Jack Bohlen’s magic charm, the water witch which Helio said the man had on him, and Arnie frowned. But the frown was momentary. He did not slow down.

Beside him Manfred crowed excitedly, “Gubble gubble!”

“What’s that mean, gubble gubble?” Arnie asked.

Due to the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, the U.S. military no longer possesses a stockpile of the necessary sanitizers.

If you’re an engineering major, half the software you’re going to need is going to be unavailable on a Mac. But if you’re an engineering major I guess you already knew that.

We ran out of cone-shaped filters and my wife (who doesn’t care how her coffee is made as long as it is caffeinated) bought cheap flat-bottomed ones that don’t really do the job right. I should probably just toss them and order the right ones, because they annoy me just a little bit every day.

You have to admit his response to the 2008 global financial crisis was far from adequate.

I just don’t understand how this can have happened at all. She’s a professor in a real university, right? Unlike, say, being an internet commenter, that’s a real job, in the real world, where there are people with eyes. You have to meet at least a few people face-to-face to get hired, and a bunch more people to do any…

In the 159 years since it was introduced, the Congressional Medal of Honor has been awarded to only 3,506 servicemen; 624 were posthumous recipients.

The only reason I think that pretty blue Trabi might not be the car for David Tracy is that Duroplast doesn’t rust. By the way, do Trabants have free-wheeling?

Thanks for the warning!

My question is, I’ve been getting emails and paper mails and all sorts of ads advising me to apply for a mail-in ballot in Florida. But suppose I do what they suggest, and then decide to vote in person, as I’ve been doing since the 1970s. Would the fact that I applied for a mail-in ballot mean that my in-person vote…

Although the police officers were assaulted, they were not injured. As such, they have asked that the charges against Mr. Ometu be dismissed.

I’ll bet you ten to one that that psycho pig was carrying a concealed firearm, and all that ranting was intended to create an excuse to shoot someone with it.

All the “people” in this thread are the same guy, right?

I’m going to vote “Nice Price” even though you’d have to be totally insane to buy this car. Because if, like me, you are totally insane, and if, unlike me, you can afford $49K for the most impractical car there is, I think you are going to love this thing.

There’s also the memory-holed fact that Saint John, Prince of Camelot, is the guy who, more than anybody else, dragged the U.S. into the Vietnam War.

If only you could pull this stunt on the county tax appraiser! The guy shows up to reevaluate my house. I get my next-door neighbor (he’s black) to come over and settle down on the couch, maybe turn on some of that hip-hop music I hear the kids are listening to these days. Presto, lower yearly taxes.
