  1. "Forgiven" is something I've so far been unable to do concerning a few people in my past who really had no excuse for what they did, and never any remorse.
  2. Historic Racing Miniatures did a beautiful 1/24 scale resin full kit, but they're expensive if you can find one. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/historic-racing-miniatures-hrm103-cheetah--1112077 I recently bought a Cox 1/24 slotcar to convert to a static model, but it'll need a scratchbuilt frame, and a lot of kitbashing. The Cox body is rumored to have been the basis for the body in the HRM kit, but I can't confirm or refute this.
  3. A coward dies a thousand deaths.
  4. Only guitar I ever had was a Goya acoustic. Can't remember what kind of bass. Guess I'm not qualified to express an opinion.
  5. Then the brutes of Christmas-future ran in, shouting "hi!! hi!! hi!!" as they karate-kicked poor Santa and Rudolph into ghosts of Christmas-past.
  6. Hard one. To me it would probably depend on the guy's history, other "legal" issues, whether he's had similar priors, etc. Trying to determine if he's a one-and-done kind of moron, or a habitual irresponsible violator making a string of bad decisions that cause harm to others is a tough call. Past behavior is very often...but not always...an accurate predictor of future behavior.
  7. Karate and cologne won't help you to dream of Horatio's philosophy of old spicy wee little brutes.
  8. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
  9. Do I get points for guessing the color?
  10. "Did somebody say partaaay?"
  11. Steal from me once, shame on you; steal from me twice...nope.
  12. OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I DIDN'T GET ONE THE FIRST DAY!!!! MUST PANIC AND PAY AT LEAST DOUBLE ASAP!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
  13. Especially when you can buy what looks like a decent resin repop for $50. https://www.modelroundup.com/1962-Ford-Galaxy-2-Door-Sedan-p/jim-nb341.htm EDIT: Of course the resin repop doesn't include all the "Styline" parts in the original kit, or the motorcycle engine, but if you want to build a box-stock or custom '62 Ford, you have a place to start.
  14. Sentence "journalists" who intentionally lie, or who just don't bother to check the accuracy of what they repeat before saying or writing it, to a one way trip through the shredder.
  15. Of course, one problem with shooting drones is if they're camera-equipped and their streaming imagery is being recorded remotely, it wouldn't take long for law enforcement to find the shooter. Theoretically...
  16. Fast women used to be slower apparently, 'cause I can't catch 'em anymore.
  17. Ranchero eggs (huevos rancheros) are one of my favorite breakfasts.
  18. Yup, semi-useless un-shrouded little bee fart fans just like that.
  19. https://uavcoach.com/shoot-drone/
  20. Actually, shooting aircraft is a federal crime, may be a felony, unmanned drones or anything else. https://uavcoach.com/shoot-drone/
  21. Cars that are half trucks are kinda useful.
  22. Near as I can tell, the '62 hasn't been repopped any time recently, but Mark will know.
  23. Same thing's happened here, and is beginning to take over the place I'm in out in AZ. The county I'm in here in GA was mostly farms when I arrived. 5 minutes, you were out of town and into sparsely traveled but well maintained rural roads, real sports car country. Now it takes two hours to get out of the urban sprawl, and driving anything interesting is just begging to have some texting moron or uninsured newcomer destroy it...as has happened to several folks I know. Too many stupid people ruin everything.
  24. Montana is the location of Ted Turner's ranch.
