  • OK Nae, I have to admit a couple times I have hit the wrong button and popped open the trunk instead of the gas door. The buttons are adjacent to each other. But, I did know which side to pull up on. :-)

  • That was good, joannie. Several years ago my was going garage saling on a Saturday morning. Her car was low on gas but I told her it would be fine, she had enough. She insisted on taking my car. I drove hers and ran out of gas a mile from home. …

  • I bought gas last night on the way home from work. I took the back way home and stopped at a station that doesn't get as much traffic as the one on Main St. I paid $2.829. The station on Main St., a mere 1/2 mile away, was charging $3.099. I've s…

  • I was in Ohio 3 weeks ago and was surprised to see your gas prices were higher than ours in NY. Typically, you're about 10 - 20 cents lower. We blame ours on NY gas taxes.

  • Hey, I remember the gas wars pre-1973, I could sometimes buy gas for under 25 cents a gallon. Then the shortage hit in 1973 and the cost ballooned to the 50 cent range, which we thought was outrageous. I could fill the tank of my 1975 Honda Civic …

  • Larry! Beehave!

  • I just did a quick search. There's an article on "All Things Considered" about missing bees and a Congressional Investigation. Considering the news source it has to be a liberal plot.

  • That reminds me of a story from my past. When I was much younger and could actually still play basketball, I was shooting baskets out in my driveway. There was a small beehive up under the rafters in the garage and everytime I hit the backboard it…

  • Paris was in jail? What everybody who lives in Paris, France was jailed? Where'd they find a jail big enough to hold all those people. What are you guys talking about?
  • Wonder if there'll be a countersuit now. The dry cleaners could sue legitimately for pain and anguish.
  • You mean I can blame McD's for being an overweight middle aged man? I gotta go see my lawyer.
  • I agreed with your Corp comment.
  • Some would say he was reincarnated as George Bush.
  • Ah yes, hence the point of my original post. And thanks Allsteaks for getting us back on track after that little sidetrip in a Corvair. But in truth, aren't most effective ads aimed at telling the voters how horrible the opponent is?
  • Hey! I liked the Corvair. It was a car ahead of it's time.
  • Israel and it's tactics of terror??? Wait a minute. Do you hear Israel boasting that they are going to wipe Arabs off the map? Does Israel arbitrarily attack their neighbors just to harass them? Other Middle Eastern countries and political entiti…
  • The same does hold true on both sides of the fence. A true conservative Repub candidate doesn't stand a chance of winning after Bush. Guiliani, who could easily register as a Dem, would have the most cross-over appeal and probably is the Repub wit…
  • A moderate Dem doesn't have to appeal to the wacko left. They have to have cross over appeal to the Repubs. Right now Edwards is the most likely to fall into that category since he is very upper class preppy and could appeal to the country club Re…
  • Yes, this election could be all about who is most unlike Bush.
  • Yes, Alsteaks. What I mean by post modernist is that the issues won't matter to many or most voters, truth can be whatever you want it to be. They will vote for whomever is most likeable or perceived to be believeable. For example, Guiliani seems…
  • You're right.
  • Well, that leads to the question of how one should vote. Do you "waste" your vote on a candidate whose positions are in line with your own, or do you suck it up and cast your vote for the lesser of several evils trying to ensure the best of the wor…
  • Let us know what you find Frank. That sounds interesting.
  • Paul, our network filter won't let me access that site - adult content.
  • It is a beautiful day today and I was thinking of going to a local fastfood establishment for lunch. Thanks Larry, you ruined that idea.
  • There was a taped conversation Baldwin had with his daughter who is stuck in the middle between he and his exwife. The daughter is 9 years old. He used some pretty harsh language on her that could be construed as child abuse.
  • Why did you take the job in the first place? Desperate?
  • So HRQ, you are unexcitingly perfect?
  • I've wondered what had happened to you. Just one day you stopped posting.
  • Um... Margaret.... Frank is the one who took off his pants. I'm very shy, I always wear pants.
