Met him once at a swap meet at Irwindale Raceway when I recognized his recently-acquired '52 Chevy two-door sedan. Real nice guy.

Dishwater shure tashtsh funny (urp).

Can I go to the can, Sister Mary Elephant?

Steve, Is there any way the door handles could be made to stand out more, or is that a molding limitation?

"Mistaken identity" was what put a bullet through his heart, according to the Rolling Stones.

"Think about what you're tryin to do to me!" sang Aretha Franklin in The Blues Brothers.

Fuels and your money are soon parted at the pump.

Inbox is where you find an unbuilt model kit.

I remember that auction - one of my favorites was this little Lorraine-Dietrich: Had to do a quickie 'shop on this one and bring it back to life as a surfboard hauler. Hang dix, duuude!

Honey in the beehive, honey bunch - every time you kiss me, hits me like a punch!

"Nuance" are what you get when you leave the sugar bowl uncovered, or when your uncles get remarried.

High is the likelihood of annoyance if I end this sentence with a word like "rutabagas" or "scurvy", so I'll end it with something simple.

Good to know. I've got an original issue builtup that would benefit from a clean body; the funny car kit had the chassis screw posts and interior locator pegs removed, but was otherwise untouched. I'd grab two - one to fix the builtup, and one to correct the issues with the newer kit. P.S. Childhood memory: I had seen a comic strip where a wife whispers in her sleeping husband's ear, "I must buy my wife that new fur coat... I must buy my wife that new fur coat..." It worked in the comic strip, as I recall. So I walked into my parents' bedroom early one morning and whispered in my dad's ear "I must buy Chris that Funny Car Edsel... I must buy Chris that Funny Car Edsel..." Dad was not amused. I did eventually get the kit, though

Word association can be fun, like when Chevy Chase said "Dog" and Richard Pryor said "Tree".

The '59 Invicta arrived today; really better shape than I expected - a little polish and a bunch of BMF over the silver-painted trim should about do it for now. So nice to not have to pry off louvers and skirts!

Kangaroo (1987), per Roger Ebert, "achieves the neat task of making D.H. Lawrence boring."

I'd take it if they found the original '58 body.

Beautiful job on a tough-to-find kit! Don't worry about those wheelcovers - they were optional on the full-size cars per the brochure; dog dishes were standard. "Looks like that ol' leg's broken - guess we have to shoot you." "Moooom!" "Oh, enough with you two!"

Bars Leaks is good for plugging up those pesky holes in your radiator.

"On the Road" is a book by Jack Kerouac, and a song by the Partridge Family.

Been waiting patiently for one of these that didn't have custom parts stuck all over it, and didn't cost an arm and a leg and a kidney:

Jellyly sounds Old Englishy, yea verily, Your Lordship.
