Hmmm... "Ambrose" doesn't sound Chinese to me...

I don't get the point.

There is one phrase that definitely grinds my gears. Every time I hear it I want to strangle the speaker. "At the end of the day..." AAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

And speaking of Dire Straits... my all-time favorite of theirs...

Skateaway by Dire Straits. And I also don't look up the lyrics... that would destroy the whole point. Like Mike, I rely on memory. And the fact that Dire Straits is one of my favorite bands...

Darn it! I knew I was forgetting something!

One of these days somebody is going to have to explain to me the point of trying to build a model in a certain amount of time, because the concept is lost on me.

I'm not sure what year it actually is in China now, but I do know you guys are way ahead of us. So... can you tell me who won the Super Bowl this coming Sunday? I want to place a bet...

Yep, the whole ball of wax. The whole enchilada. The whole nine yards.

Hey! The same stuff Leonardo used!

Another masterpiece from your bench, G.

$1.59 a gallon at the local Thornton's today. And that's in Crook County, Illinois... high gas taxes and all!

Don't worry... that idea will never get past Congress.

Ed and Snake... correct! Ed... yeah, the song sort of shuffles along in a mid-tempo country groove, but they end it with a nice flourish...

Exactly what I was thinking. Otherwise, no way a TV remote would be able to start a car.

Joe, I remember the "dime store" (that's what we called them here in Chicago). The one my mom shopped at (with a 5-year old me in tow) was called "Ben Franklin," but we always called it the dime store. The first model car I ever got was from the dime store. Once I was hooked, I discovered "hobby shops" and the rest is history...

Never heard of him.

Ditto. I have models 30+ years old and the foil has never come off, and after all those years most likely never will. "Sealing" the foil under clear is completely unnecessary.

"Well, I've never been to England, but I kinda like the Beatles"...

When I was a kid, we all called the refrigerator the ice box, even though actual ice boxes were obsolete many years before I ever came along. But we all still called it the ice box... as when I was standing there in front of the fridge with the door open, trying to decide what I wanted, when my mom would yell "close the ice box!" And to this day, my uncle calls the refrigerator the "frigidaire."

But weren't some music videos shot on film? I'm so confused...

No, but I like the ringtones you can download that sound just like an old-fashioned rotary phone sounded when it rang.

Yawn...

Very unusual color scheme for a police car! I don't think I've ever seen a gold one! Very nice model, great attention to detail.
