Last line in "Gone with the Wind" - extremely controversial to have used the word "damn" in a movie in 1939! How times have changed. What about someone answering my quiz up above?

Is it Hilary Swank in "Million Dollar Baby"? My turn - it's from the mid-80's: "I've got a trig test tomorrow and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp!"

I think that when ocn wrote that, he intended for me to epitomize bitterness....interesting that he "knows" me as well as he thinks he does ... from nearly 3,000 miles away...

So, now, since my brain is mush from a night final, explain the significance of the plate...

The rear part of the greenhouse has a little too much Jetta in it. It seems like we've run out of design ideas when the expanses in sheetmetal are constrained.

very flattering view of WV, Nickster.

I guess that would be equivalent to the situation on our shore; however, a good chunk of them don't work and some of them are involved in illegal activities. Most of the prostitutes are from Eastern Europe and they are really stuck between a rock and a hard place (Catch 22 situations for most of them). Still, it is a strain on the social fabric. And, yes, Mario and Lucia will continue to live at home with their parents rather than take those jobs you probably refer to.

Right. I was thinking the same thing. The Lumina was around, but no MC (what was the gap anyway, 1988-1994, something like that?)

Yes. And these people are generally insecure and know the least. My Mom has a neighbor who moved up from San Jose who is the dumbest bitch ever and who won't shut up. My friends and I refer to her as "the doorknob." The subject she is most garrulous about is religion - specifically Catholicism - which irks the f*c* out of me since I already belong to the religion, have 16 years of Catholic school and don't want to hear any more. There's a great expression for these people: "They don't know how much they don't know." Seriously, D83, she sounds like a DB, so just ignore her, no matter how tempting it might be to verbally take a hit.

During college/university, since I initially started out in the business school, I worked part-time at a hospital near LAX in the controller's office. It was bolted onto the billing office where I also worked on special projects for the auditors and such. I got to see a lot of patient files. My favorite: a man named Noble Hooker. Seriously. Everybody loved that file.

My friend from San Diego and I were rummaging through the California DMV web site looking for plates that were either taken or still available. I forgot if they were there or not --- probably disallowed. We were looking for these two: 1. MUFTANG - Mustang said with a speech impediment, or more accurately: MUFF + TANG. Got it? 2. BREAD 8 - Translate those words to Spanish. Got it? As you can see, I like the nasty ones.

We'll have to agree to disagree - I think the execution on the Impy/MC is cleaner. So, does anybody have any pictures of the rump on this sled? It is pinhole circular lamps a la Cobalt?

OK, TC, but it seems to function as a bumper in Impala/MC so it makes it seem like one snout "above the bumper;" the grouping is odd in the 'Bu IMHO.

Very perceptive, Sci. I was running down one of those stair underpasses in the Messina Italy train station to make my track and saw some graffiti on the wall saying "L'Italia e di noi Italiani"...or "Italy belongs to us Italians" -- they are doing virtually nothing about all the undocumented Albanians, Eastern Europeans and North Africans that are there illegally. Some of my relatives say that this is their "America," indicating the big bump-up in standard of living over what they came from. They, too, risk drowning in the passage to "the boot" and keep coming back all over again if returned to their native homelands.

The Impala and the Monte (2006 +) have a single snout. Check them out.On the trucks, there tends to be a taller expanse, so I don't notice it as much. Plus, being a car-only type of person, I don't notice truck styling to the extent I notice car styling.

Dude, you're stealing my thunder. I'm the resident anti-bull-dyke member. Some people have a problem with that, but at least I'm honest. I err on the side of caution and avoid them.
