Silly boy, Springfield is not real. It's a cartoon place, populated by bright yellow people with 4 fingers.

Good luck to your friend with his Sebring. May he have many happy miles in her.

Colorado is a beautiful state, but I'd miss the ocean, I'm afraid...

Oh it's real simple to snip the chicken. Some people claim it's more hygienic, too.

Satty, don't be a retard. If foreigners want to speak to their family members who also do not speak English, how will they communicate? My gripe is, when a person does business in the USA, it will be done in English. I was born here. I am not going to alter my behavior to accommodate a foreigner. The burden is on THEM to learn to get along in my country. And that includes learning the language.

Yes sir, the Dems don't know what to think of Sarah Palin. They are flummoxed. Meanwhile, McCain has passed Obama in the polls. Keep it up, John!

Well, start packing.

That's a desecration of our flag.

Oh my, look at that french fry. Or should I say, german fry. German, small fry. Borger I really didn't want to see your German small fry. Now I'm scarred. Thanks. I used a frying pan with enough oil to cover the fries completely. After I cut the fries, I patted them dry on all sides with paper towel. They were dry when I threw them in. But they still needed Viagra. You guys have given a lot of interesting idears on this. I like to make my own Chicken McNuggets, too. I take some boneless breast, cut it with scissors into nuggets, dip it in Egg Beaters, then toss it in bread crumbs with ground red pepper before cooking. They are unbelievably yum dipped in honey. Also, home made onion rings are good, done in beer batter. Perhaps I should at least invest in a draining basket, and then try you guys' ideas. Thanks, all!

You know, come to think of it, Mickey D's drains their fries in the basket after they come out of the oil... no paper towels for them, they get dumped in a metal trough for salting and scooping into the containers.

I cut up a potato tonight into french fries. I patted it dry with paper towels while I heated up some Smart Balance oil (a mix of canola, soybean and olive oils). When the oil shimmered in the pan on medium heat, I threw them in. When they appeared nice and brown, I took them out and drained them on more paper towels. For the first few seconds, they were stiff and crispy, but they quickly got limp. I hate limp fries. Can anyone tell me how to make a homemade french fry that is crispy? Thanks in advance.

She sure is getting a lot of people talking. And from what I understand, the polls look promising. After the DNC, Obama/Biden enjoyed no bump, but after the RNC, McCain/Palin took a sizable jump, and are in the lead in a lot of polls.

I have pretty good eyes, sir. No need for the Reader's Digest large print there, budro. Now think about it, the kid knows he got a smokin' deal on this car for $500, he knows it is worth much more to him. You really think he wouldn't laugh if I offer him $600 measly dollars? Good Lord.

To all those ppl with Puerto Rican flags all over their vehicles: Why? I don't have a Pennsylvania flag on my vehicle. By far, I see more Puerto Rican flags on vehicles around here than any other. GO BACK if you miss it so much.

Well, as soon as he came in this morning, I went up to his office and asked about the car. He said, "Why would you want THAT thing?" I thought to myself "WTF!!!" He said "Our wholesaler didn't even want it, he wanted to crush it." I told him I'd go to the bank immediately and come back with $600 if they end up not taking the car. He was shocked. So was I. He said he'd let me know if they back out. Six agonizing hours later... it was finally gone. They picked it up. Heavy sigh. If only he had a clue of what he had, and how long I've been dreaming of finding one in decent shape, let alone as nice as this one was.

Excellent, Mr. Civic. Words to live by.

Yeah, I was amazed to read it. Cool.

Well then, I hope it has a Depends dispenser... :AH-HA_wink:

Drift this way

When I went to Sears and saw a freakin' STOVE with SPANISH in large capital letters on the controls with ENGLISH in tiny, lower case letters under it, it amazed and angered me. If you want to move to the USA, do so legally and learn to speak ENGLISH as soon as you can, even BEFORE you emigrate! Virtually EVERY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP assimilates themselves to the American culture except for Spanish-speaking people, and they don't even TRY to learn English! You cannot expect to do business in the USA if you don't know the language. This crap has GOT to STOP! If we continue to kowtow to these people, all will be lost. Think of the generations of folks who came here seeking to work hard and become Americans in every sense of the word. Today's Spanish speakers will not change because they have little incentive to, with business and government bowing to them. We need a federal law in this country making English the official language. I mean, it almost seems absurd it's come to this, but it is truly getting ridiculous.

This morning, as I was walking back to the office after taking two totaled cars across the street to our holding yard, I noticed a sweet little car pull up in front of the showroom. A little old man and lady got out and headed for the front door. The car? A 1978 Malibu Classic coupe, gray and silver two tone. I was amazed, but kept on walking. It just didn't register with me that this car was about to be traded in, I mean, who would bother? I admired it from afar and continued with my day. Then, late this afternoon, I happened to be on the other side of our building from where our office is, and there sits the car, no license plate. I am immediately excited and start looking it over closely. It must have been garage kept, because even the rubber belt moldings are still soft and supple, and the interior? As if no one sat in it for the last 30 years... red cloth bench seat, perfect dashboard with no cracks. A couple of minor dents on the outside, but otherwise, the car is perfect... NO rust whatsoever anywhere. I rushed in to our sales manager's office, knocked on the door and inquired about the sweet little car. Turns out it is a one owner car with a 305, A/C, and 64k original miles! OMG!!! Then the wind is knocked out of me when he says a kid from the small restoration shop across the street saw the old couple drive up in it, inquired, and bought it for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS from our dealership owner. I am crushed. I would so love to have that little gem, honestly. My only hope is if the kid cannot get the money together (and you know what he'll do with the little Mali if he gets his mitts on it), maybe I can snatch it up. It was still on our lot when I left, and our owner was gone for the night at that point. First thing in the morning when I see him I am going to ask about it. I wish he would have given his own employees first refusal before just letting a sweet little car like that slip away...

Oh... uh, well, I guess you can dance all night to it with no shirt on to show off your new tats and nip ring. In the club with the boys.

Please, feel free to post some more pics, I missed it too.
