Yeah, whatever happened to the clean-cut kid from the high school picture you posted on the pre "blow-up" site? You look like a completely different person, if my memory serves me correctly, between what you look like recently and 2 to 3 years ago. When you join the "real world," you'll probaly have to lose the "stubble." My shadow comes on real fast, too, and I can't wait to get rid of it. In fact, I may jump into the shower and shave again if I am about to go to a social-type function in the evening. To each their own.

Non capisco il "filo" di questa commenta e generalmente sono abbastanza intelligente.

Seriously, P-C-S, you had all this facial hair...seriously, you, a beacon of GM corporate culture? Spaventoso...(or as an inner-city Neopolitan would say: "Shpaventos")

Io no ho anitpatia per questo emoticon...ho antipatio per il primo perche e una "cretinata." Forse a "P" questo nuovo ci fa girare la testa!

I'd rather be done in by artery-clogging gaucho-lassoed juicy steaks with roquefort sauce and a never-ending stream of palmitos salads than by being blindfolded and decapitated..or even shot at. I know that is the exception rather than the rule and possibly a little unfair to some wonderful people I know that hail from that part of the world; however, laid-back easy-living type places are what flip my switch.

Here's one...my favorite of the 2 Oldsmobiles I've owned. The Brougham seating was incomparable on a long-trip...no other car I've owned was more comfortable...my only complaint is that this one did not have a small block Olds V8. Oh well, I miss my 1984 Cutlass Supreme Brougham coupe. Photo taken at the American River canyon, Auburn, CA, about 35 miles east of Sacramento, CA

The W-body LIVES ! Still have it as my daily driver: 235,000 miles - turns 15 on May 16th. Currently has blackwalls, but is pretty much in the condition you see. In a Latin country, she would be getting her quincanera.

Agreed on the grille, though they are both very nice models.Remember, those were the days when GM had "nip and tuck" in their budget for EVERY model year. In fact, thinking about the 81-88 RWD Cutlass Supreme coupes (I had a 1984 Brougham coupe and LOVED it), it's amazing that you could pick out every year by its different grille...or sometimes colors. Try doing that with a 2005-2008 base model Grand Prix! LOL (The 2004 is identifiable because of the standard "dual exhaust" and the trunk's keyed lock). I'm editing this post to put up a sketch of my 1976 that I had on my "corkboard" in my office.

And there's a thread ragging on W-bodies right now... ....it would have been interesting to see what a 2007 Intrigue would have looked like if Olds was still around!

Ok, so NOW you see why I'm not "chomping at the bit" to visit the Middle East, no matter how interesting.Ah, yes... Punta del Este, Uruguay a couple of weeks after all the Argentinians have gone home...here I come.

The family of the gunman has issued a statement (through their attorney, I believe) which elaborates on their apologies and their grief. Poor people: their lives have also been ruined, along with the damage done to those of the loved ones and friends of the victims.

Excellent! You made the association. My reply to thread: M

Cairo looks like a massive cesspool. I would probably be more interested in going to Istanbul than Cairo, but there's so much to see in Southern Europe and "Southern" South America, that a trip to the Middle East is not likely any time soon. Plus, I don't want a run-in with a Nile Crocodile.

Irma Bunt! (do you remember who that fictional character was?)

I read the posts above that talked about his being picked on for his foreign accent. Does that even happen any more? Seriously? I grew up in multi-ethnic L.A. and we had so many kinds of people in school that I NEVER saw that. If it would have started, the teachers would have shut that down in a heartbeat....especially in a Catholic school. He apparently grew up in the DC-MD-VA metroplex. Heck, you would think every imaginable kind of foreign person is represented there and that he would not have been subjected to this. In grade and high school, I was sort of a class clown that could get away with it because I was an "A" student and teachers liked me. However, my humor was never at the expense of someone else. I've been on the receiving end of some ridicule, though not much, because I always said what was on my mind and was never afraid to be myself, so I sure didn't want to dish it out to someone else. However, looking back, there were definitely a fair share of mean f*cks out there.
