  1. Is he gay or straight?
  2. I thought that was the entire crux of his appeal/personality?
  3. eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
  4. Years of watching stuff like Hometime and This Old House wasted, here's all I ever needed to know to equip a home workshop! Tools Explained DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh--!' SKIL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON-OF-A-BITCH TOOL: (A personal favorite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a BITCH!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need. Hope you found this informative.
  5. My guess is it's actually time spent straining... but sitting idly, derping around on my phone or reading 'till my legs fall asleep can't be good...
  6. Thing is, I've done the own domain but then outsource the email serving to Google, their anti-spam is pretty good and their inter-operation with Android-based phones is second to none!
  7. John Boehner cried today when somebody said "god bless you" after he sneezed and again later when he drank some coffee that was a little too hot.

    I'm updated now, haven't noticed a single difference yet. This site still doesn't remember who I am when I close the browser and come back...
  9. Why would somebody have an iPad (or any electronics, really) in checked baggage? If it was out of carry-on that's pretty ballsy! This guy has a lot to say about the TSA.
  10. 300? I'm hoping for a miracle and the 2186 or whatever it is goal!

    The Voice on NBC

    Ever since his bullshit fucking around with Imagine (plus doing a piss-poor job singing it) I can't stand CeeLo Green or however the fuck it's written.
  12. What the hell are all the chicks doing in it? Ah, there must be another association I'm unaware of--damn American education! Now a movie about the creation and rise of the Bel Ami we all know and love...
  13. That trailer does look good though! Plus HBO=automatic watch!
  14. But, but, I was immensely enjoining NOT hearing anything from or about her!!! Damn it!
  15. They also are cutting the BUR to DFW flight! I remain doubtful that they can cut their way to prosperity. Doing their job better, less antagonizing the customers, and taking advantage of all the benefits all the other airlines have gotten out of bankruptcy should be more than enough! I'm worried all the cost cutting and maintenance outsourcing is going to lead to something bad--soon. On the other hand many of the antique planes are being retired, which is good. If I never have to fly on another DC9/MD80 again it'll be too soon!
  16. I only use it very rarely. Usually read magazines, but sitting too long is bad for you! (Many believe excessive sitting on toilet causes hemorrhoids.)
  17. Now if we could just get Fox to stop reminding it's viewers to breathe, we'd be ALL SET!
  18. We can only hope! Nobody ever lost anything betting on the selfish hypocrisy of Gingrich, that's for sure!
  19. Audi was kinda cute. But he checks his fangs in the rearview? Yep, CR-V, that's the one. Death of all our childhoods that Ferris is driving a soccer-mom grocery getter! Still, pretty amusing.
  20. Couldn't Simon just withhold her Oxy/Vicodin for the 12 hours before taping? Bet that'd harsh her up!
  21. I couldn't stand SVU but really liked BD Wong, also from the episodes of Oz I'd watched.

    Guess I'll give it a try too. I like the idea of Chrome but if my browser's Google too I might as well just put on a leash and and it to them.
  23. Here's hoping he stretches it out further, and here's to another dozen Republican debates!
  24. I'm already really tired of them! Some years the ads were all I watched, but this preview/pre-leak bs, plus the Ferris Bueller thing just being a fucking Hyundai (or whatever) ad... feh!
  25. Oooh, ooh, according to the daily tracker thing as of this post I'm at 1 more than Expat! (What is it, 24-hour rolling count?) I'll be caught up in no time!
