  1. I've had something along those lines in a vegetable patty burger. The uninformed tend to think anything vegetarian must have copious amount of tofu; however, there's so many delicious alternatives to the generic meat product that make my mouth water thinking about them. I agree. Their burgers make me thirsty at first bite and their fries are terribly over-salted. If we ever buy fast food, we end up sometimes going to three places. I like Arby's for their marketplace sandwiches or Great Canadian burgers, sometimes A&W for a double-teen burger (incl. all veggies and bacon - a real porker meal), and depending upon which city we're in, Arby's for their curly-fries and A&W for their onion rings. I saw 'depending upon which city we're in' because one town out here over-season their onion rings to the point that it's better to think of them as ordering MSG with a side of rings.
  2. I think that in less than twenty years, McDonalds will run out of skinny people for their commercials and switch to a marketing campaign that basically suggests, "Hey, everyone else is eating here, you might as well, too!" Seriously, has anyone ever seen an even slightly overweight person chowing down on a Big Mac in their commercials? You will definitely never see a fat kid with a happy meal. Ignore it and it will all go away.
  3. How to Change a Toilet Paper Roll I replace the roll to hang from the top just out of habit. I didn't think that kind of thing really mattered that much. I find it interesting that this website suggests the majority rule. I mean, really, a household will be unlikely to perform a basic fire emergency instruction, but they'll be certain to know what direction $h!-tickets be dispensed. Gees, thank you very much women, these highly important matters would never be discovered if it weren't for you. I once dated a girl insisting it be dispensed from the top, despite the fact that her damned cat would unroll it all onto the floor. When I suggested she replace the roll to dispense from the bottom, she wrinkled her lips and squinted her eyes like it was a suggestion in poor taste. I replied, "Well then, you can either throw a wasted roll into the garbage, or you can throw your cat out the window... take your pick."
  4. My grandfather knew he was a slow driver, but he never let a pile of cars build up behind him. He waited for a safe opportunity to pull to the shoulder and let vehicles pass. Around here, on rural roads with passing lanes that cover maybe only a third of the length of highway between cities, driving slow is a recipe for disaster. There are plenty of times I get stuck behind someone going far slower than the speed limit and it really causes tension to mount among the ignorant and impatient behind me. In the case of this fellow, there are more circumstances that must be known first; such as, how many vehicles was he holding up, if any?
  5. Old age, simply because it's said the best years of your life are the ones between retirement and death. The trick is to keep yourself healthy enough to enjoy them.
  6. I've always appreciated Volvo's and that's one sweet car.
  7. That just might do the world a favor since it's apparent it would be obvious she couldn't do both at the same time. I'm guessing you're the guy sitting among an audience of comedy shows with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face? If you hadn't guessed, which was obvious, my comment could hardly be taken seriously.
  8. Alright, I have a plan: Judge awards restitution for medical fees, personal damages etc. on the condition the teenager does not own / operate a cell phone for one year.
  9. Damnit! I mean, really, she'll win her case because the pylons are supposed to be in place 'before' work commences. Regardless of the fact that she's too stupid to do anything while walking at the same time. Yet, another excuse to hate stupid people.
  10. Only Steven Segal is 'Above the Law'. Well, he and Chuck Norris.
  11. What?! OFF my planet! I'd rather have a portable navigation unit for cycling or simple street walking. It would likely get more use in one of the company trucks for when I'm out finding my way to a client's place for a project assessment; however, I'd rather take it with me so I could go in any one of the vehicles, from the old 2000 Dodge to the new 1-Ton. Aside from that, they're handy, but hardly necessary for the average Joe to get around their own town. To me, a NAV system and LCD is only useful if it performs other functions. An in-dash DVD system with expandability for rear viewing is the only reason I would consider the option, since our 21 month-old absolutely loves his kidlet flix on trips. (Not to mention how it helps our sanity)
  12. The point at the end being how he believes Hyundai needs this car to help inject some visual appeal into the brand to make it more exciting to be worth looking at. I'm not so sure that is such a hold-back for too many consumers; however, it'll help? There's little doubt this coupe is known to be a good car for what it actually is intended to go up against. I highly doubt the target market is the same as those looking at the domestic bunch o' rides. This will annoy me every time: Why is it that every journalist assumes every car's checklist must include navigation next to things as typical as a windshield? I just don't see the point of it being a 'must have' that all manufacturers should include.
  13. There's political motivation afoot here, pure and simple. The only people to benefit from this are those where votes count.
  14. Yah, like my mom says, "Show me."
  15. It's a development game. One cannot look merely at initial offerings in NA to determine the success of a partnership that is meant to support a global system. For instance, a car developed and assembled in Korea is supported by design from Europe, engines from Holden, and sales in the important NA. This means a lot to the future of GM, and shouldn't be taken lightly.
  16. Interesting how so many of them attribute these problems to a first-year model and brush it off. Major part problems / failures, trunk latches and paint issues? Now, I know I'm comparing apples and oranges; however, with how much people have against a foreign car, my wife's first year Optra5 came overseas in a boat from Korea through GMDAT and it didn't have anything as significant wrong with it in the last five years of owning it.
  17. Listening to different sides say different things about how GM should be doing things... differently.
  18. Introductory numbers don't make for a good comparison. I mean, it would be interesting to see if Camaro could sell over the 20k mark this time next year like the Cobalt. But, and I laugh as I type this, anything can happen these days. Saturn = no comment (still laughing by the way)
  19. The local PBG dealership will now be a CBG dealership. This would seem to be no surprise but for the fact that only 20 kms up the road is a stand-alone Chevy dealership... and I just don't see that one surviving. You won't find a Caddy division involved anywhere here since the local dealership nixed the division from their inventory. I think I'll like the change.
  20. That's all I would say, yup.
  21. oooOOOooo, the drAAAmaaa! :gay:
  22. Yeah BBC and CBC and everyone else in the planet is reporting it now. I really liked his early work and his Thriller album. Songs like Black or White were pretty provocative. He may have been nuts, not having the kind of upbringing a normal child would have, but his music was epic.
  23. A friend of mine recently picked up a black G6 GXP coupe with the Street Package. Her husband and I got to talking about the possibility of it having collector status, of course, depending upon how many of them have sold, will sell, or continue to even be built. I weighed the pros and cons and determined that, even with the demise of Pontiac, the car really isn't that much of a high-profile auto that deserves collector status; and that it might as well be a daily driver instead of a garage queen. Any thoughts?

    No Doubt

    Nope, it sucks. ... almost as much as always finding one of my wife's long hairs in some of the strangest places around the house.
