I must be stupid; I don't get the joke.

Just read or listen to what passes for "journalism" today. It'd be hysterically funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

Visit Paris if you like the smell of public toilets.

That one's kinda tricky, but basically the same if you think about it. If it was the old house of one person named Airbag (Mr. Airbag), you'd be correct. But if it was the old house of the family of multiple people named Airbag (the Airbags), it would be the old Airbags' house. Isn't pedantry fun?

Agreed, but there have always been metalworking wizards whose work looked every bit as good naked as it did in paint. It's not a recent development.

Whoo wuda thunk yoo cud lern ta rite gooder on a modul kar cite?

Paint looks good.

"Go stuff yourself" is a phrase that I have to restrain myself from saying out loud multiple times daily.

There's no contraction here (like there's) so don't muddy the issue. The issue here is about plurals and apostrophes and ownership. Many people seem to use apostrophes randomly, sometimes to indicate plural (more than one) which is WRONG. But the rules are simple. Plural is signified usually by simply adding an "s" to the root word. NO APOSTROPHY (And let's not go down the rabbit hole of words that have oddball plurals, like hippopotami, OK?) More than one airbag is airbags. An apostrophe signifies possession if it's BETWEEN the root word and the "s" if the root is singular: airbag's (one airbag owns something). An apostrophe signifies possession if it's AFTER the root word ending in "s" if it's plural (more than one): airbags' (multiple airbags own something). "This is the old airbag's house" means ONE airbag owns the house. "This is the old airbags' house" means MULTIPLE airbags are found there. There will be a test Tuesday. Failure is not an option.

Correct.

Apparently, the tipping point has been reached where things we took for granted as parts of civilization begin to stop working, because too many idiots are in charge of things.

Wrong. "Airbag's" means owned BY an airbag.

Probably Cajun. I live in the Southern US, and I can't understand some of 'em either. It's a patois of Acadian French with some English seasoning, and there are wide variations.

Funny and true, but minus 10 points for incorrect apostrophe usage on "airbag's". How hard is it, really, to remember you don't use a damm apostrophe before an "s" signifying plural (more than one)?

Else is a feminine name fairly common in Germany, Denmark, Norway, etc.

Straight-axle gasser...with a 6-71 blown Yotyto V8.

More like abdicated...or never really had it in the first place.

Tasty is as tasty does.

Most excellent. My kinda car.

Well...I'm down in the shop looking at it. And it's sad. First 10-foot impression a few days ago was "golly gee, what a beautiful baby!!! ", but after looking it over carefully, it's a mess. Typical "kustom kar", carved from lead and bondo, very inconsistent panel fit, badly wonked A-pillars and door hinges making the doors WAY too tight to use any solenoid door poppers I've ever seen (which is what it's in for), no weatherstripping where it's really necessary, seems to be just generally poor engineering and fit overall. I'm so disappointed. Kinda like finding out one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen is all bodged plastic surgery and thick makeup.

Shoes for sports somehow became a status symbol; I could understand hand-made English brogues, but sneakers?

Expired canned goods usually won't kill you...at least not immediately.

"It's my company, but I don't have access to that data and have no idea what happened..." Bankman-Fried Really?

Something people tend to forget when gluing anything to any painted surface...whatever you glue to any painted surface will only be adhered as well to the surface as the paint is. Glue doesn't somehow magically stick to what's under the paint. It sticks to the paint, period. So if your paint adhesion isn't the best...

Native English speaking American news-readers who don't know everyday words like "basin". Really?
