[quote]where do you read that?[/quote] They may have seen it in the Consumer Reports appliance reliability report from a year or so ago. They said the Speed Queens were very reliable but were just okay when it came to cleaning. You can probably find it in a library....

[quote]I would have my downloads all que'd up and have them run all night.[/quote] Each song took 15 minutes or more to download on my dial-up. A guy at work hooked up Napster on the office broadband connection. My eyes bugged out when I saw him download a song in just a few seconds. :lol:...

[quote]Way too much, should have been 2 maybe 3 parts[/quote] This is true of almost every series, movie or show, whether documentary or fiction. The show makers get all of this footage and just HAVE to use it. They need to edit and tighten that shite up. It's not a jam band production. ...

[quote]In a rain shortened race that was won on strategy. Decided by the crew chief btw. [/quote] Rain delayed, but not shortened. Qualifying was scrubbed due to rain, so they lined up based on points. Seepage in the track caused a delay in the start. Once started, they ran all 200 laps of the 3...

Nice post. The Washington Post has a good article today about Hershel Williams, a 95 year old Iwo Jima vet who was awarded the Medal of Honor. Of the 27 Marines and sailors who earned the medal at Iwo Jima, he said he is the last one alive He described how he and some other Marines on G...

What was going on with the guy in the stands talking to the kid about a foul ball? I turned on the TV broadcast in the middle of it....

Buddy Guy (No. 23 on Rolling Stones guitarist list) and James Burton (No. 19) have to be high on the list. Both had a lot of success and influenced many other famous guitarists. I saw Joe Walsh the other day talking about the intro to a song, I think it was Funk #49, and saying he stole the chick...

If he or she is desperate to the point this is a consideration, isn't it likely they would default to you? Would you evict them and sell it or try to rent to someone else? Or is this a family deal where even if they stop paying you will get family heat to let them stay and mooch forever? Lin...

[quote]I wonder if they will alter the Gen 7 designs to try to strengthen the areas where Newman got hit [/quote] I saw a piece years ago, maybe when COT came out, where Harvick was showing a cutaway driver door and pointing out all the beefing up it had received post-Earnhardt. They put stee...

[quote]Very refreshing to hear someone thank the people that actually did the work rather than blow past them and thank god. [/quote] Lance Armstrong came back from the brink of death. In his book and other comments, he gives all the credit to talented doctors and healthcare professionals. ...

Andrew Zimmern has a new series, “What’s Eating America,” which debuts tonight (16th). It's not about bizarre food. Is more of an investigative/opinion show. Trigger warning: It's on MSNBC, and the first five topics are immigration, climate change, addiction, voter suppression and health care...

Someone gave me a container of salt that spent a few years on top of a Tabasco aging barrel. It is permeated with sauce. Makes a neat seasoning. ...

Taxis appear immediately after you walk out of a restaurant and raise a finger....

Refrigerators are neat AF. Usually contain a carton of milk and a few canned drinks. There are never half a jar of pickles, leftovers in Tupperware, old sour cream, and the usual shite in a typical fridge. ...

If you knock a guy out as you are escaping, his clothes will fit you perfectly....

We don’t know what we have until SEC play gets underway. There are always lineup changes, position switches, etc. as the “preseason” goes along. Players develop. Sometimes we see big changes even midway into SEC play.. Anyone melting because we went 2 of 3 opening weekend has lost their damne...

We have some games this week the are likely saving Hilliard for. Just guessing. Trot out the scrubs when down 6-1. Save Hilliard....

When a guy cooks dinner at his apartment for a date, he always makes pasta and marinara sauce....

People turn on the TV just as the news covers the story about how they are wanted for murder. They turn it off before the story is even finished. Wait, damn it, I need to see what the cops know about me....

Damn. That strikeout by Gio hurt me....
