Mach 1

Sorry to thread jack, but this piqued my interest. Do they use Strunk & White in law school? Or any kind of writing guidance?

Lynda Carter gets nekkid a few times. Had to stay up late night to see her tits on HBO. What do I win?

SIAP, just caught this recently.

He actually refurbished my whole harness front to back. Unfortunately he doesn't touch miscellaneous stuff like this, engine gauge wiring, etc. He's kind of a surly dude, fit in well here.

Plan was to take the kids out for an inaugural spin on Thanksgiving. Nope. No power at all when I turned the key. The culprit - shredded ground wire on my ignition switch. And of course, the 70 switch is a one off year and fucking impossible to source. Had to send it to a local Mustang guy for surgery. If he fails I'll have to shell out $300 plus for a replacement, if I can find one. How much is a 69 or 71? $25. Oh well, at least my Magnums arrived.

Some speculation out there that some BAT auctions are being used to launder money. Who knows.

I think you're on to something here https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-chevrolet-blazer-27/

To pass the time, the DRIVETRIBE Youtube channel has some entertaining - though random - Clarkson/May/Hammond content. Google it; tried to embed and couldn't because apparently I'm a fucking idiot.

Favorite episode of the season. Really well done. After the Wizard of Oz homage, I was wondering if there might be some more in there. Maybe Road to Perdition, a little Shining homage with that creepy hotel room. I'm impressed with the kid playing Satchel. Completely believable as a good kid quietly trying to keep his shit together as events spin out of control around him.

I always loved Paulie. Favorite scene:

Thanks for the rec, thought it was great.

I bailed on the shit WV game at halftime to meet up with some family and friends for some celebratory day drinking. Cars honking, people in great moods, good times. I said "There's a funny video on here of Biden throwing Trump around at a daycare center, let me show you." Well it took about 2 hours and approximately a shitload of drinks for me to back up to find it, because what I thought was a few pages ended up being between 50-100. As I scrolled back I had to stop to show them the memes, gifs, quotes, etc. that have accumulated since last night. There's something special about being with friends and family, being happy, sharing some joy, slightly drunk, and laughing your ass off to the point where someone is banging the table. So for that, here's to you Surly degenerates, you purveyors of porn, doyens of dumbassery, and ... fuck it, can't come up with anything else ... that stayed up all night to entertain. I can now die knowing I gave Tree Fiddy to expose my friends/family to something called Gritty, and how he saved the Constitution.

To me this is pretty clear. Fits the narrative, a big fuck you to to established practices. And lying is not only acceptable to this group, but championed.

NVM, G650 beat me to it.

Yeah it's the set up for whatever is to come. If anything he's a stereotype for a punk not prepared to take over a business. I'm warming up to Rock as the season goes on. Not 100% sold but he's acting his ass off.

Ed, I'd reconsidered this. I recently put in my 351c with the help of my BIL and it was a huge PIA. 600 lbs on a hoist being shimmied here and there, one on the ground, one above, bolt gets stuck, doesn't get in, cussing like there's no tomorrow, no bueno. Wouldn't be better to play with the shroud and radiator support? Drill some new holes if necessary. Your call, but engine mount tolerances are all over the place and I'd rather get the fucker in and adjust as necessary via the opposite.

What are you doing for the power source? That updated wiring doesn't look like it will mesh with your existing harness. Adapter? New run through firewall to battery?

This Miles Taylor dude just went yard on CNN. Full on said Trump asked if Homeland Security could gas or shoot immigrants before they got to the border. When they said fuck no, he said, "maybe shoot them in the leg"? When told he couldn't do it because it's illegal, he said "Just do it. If you get in trouble I'll pardon you." I know that isn't surprising but it's the first time IIRC that an eye witness is coming forward and quoting the fuckstick (with things previously only implied). And yes he wanted to bus them to Sanctuary Cities if they got through. Also illegal. He said a bunch of other shit but those really jumped out at me.

I threw in the towel a few episodes into Season 5. The show was all over the place with the time travel shit. Ain'tnobodygottimeforthat.gif I read how it wraps up. I think I made the right decision.

Recently returned from a business road trip. I forgot to renew Sirius so I was stuck with iTunes and local radio. For the hell of it I'd turn on AM now and then .... Hooollllyyyy Shit. Nothing but ultra right wing nut jobs, the king being Sean Hannity. The shamelessness and deceitful shit he spews is borderline evil. Of course he was going down the laptop rabbit hole over and over, lamenting how the "Biden Crime Family" had not yet been arrested. But he had one - I guess it was a commercial of some kind - with a narrator that effectively said, "Open your eyes and see your enemy. They are the Democrats in your life, actively trying to tear down everything America stands for. Do whatever is necessary to stop them. Always remember who the enemy is, the progressive Left!" You could almost hear "and use violence if necessary" within the message. I can't even. And he said quite often to his guests, "We are in such trouble in this country, I'm really worried." As if the Democrats were in control and not Trump's sycophants. I know the hypocrisy and mental gymnastics Fox fans need to have in order to believe that shit has been discussed ad nauseam, but it is fucking unreal how they can look around at this mess and say, "Damn those liberals."

He's in Frankfort. Not sure where pic was taken but he goes to Traverse City a lot. Who knows maybe the militias finally got their stuff from the print shop.

I let this sit on my DVR for a few weeks because I thought reviews were mixed. Caught up last night and enjoyed the hell out of it. That writer/producer has a knack for weaving in some interesting/weird characters into a compelling storyline. I love the nurse, completely bonkers. I cracked up when, within 60 seconds of getting in the car, she's gives a handy and snorts a rail off the back of her hand. Small quibble: I think Rock is miscast. His acting is good but he doesn't strike me as the hardcore leader of a crime family.

Buddy of mine lives part of the year in northern Michigan. He sent me this yesterday, said they are all over the place. "When they go low, we go ..." Yeah, fuck that.
