  1. Us lice are offended by that remark, and consider an infestation to be interspecies cultural enrichment on a personal level.
  2. HID lamps (high intensity discharge) have greater energy efficiency than incandescent lamps, emitting more lumens per watt, and are, to me, the best choice for ultra bright long-range headlights.
  3. "Better Living Through Chemistry" was a variant of an advertising slogan used by DuPont as far back as 1935, but the last several unencumbered-by-knowledge generations have adopted it oh-so-cleverly to refer to drug use.
  4. I really like that. We used to call it "squished bug green".
  5. Wow. I have a couple of these in 1/24, but thanks to you, now I NEED one in 1/12. Cool project. I'll be following.
  6. Nice seeing one of these built. I buggered one as a kid, have a couple newer issues to get to someday. Cool you got a ride in Fifi. Did you ever see the story of her being dragged out of the desert and restored to flying condition? Pretty amazing amount of sweat and expertise. PS: Williams has some nice large scale aircraft engine kits too.
  7. Puzzle toys may result in improvement in problem-solving ability, or much throwing and smashing and stomping and crying.
  8. Doc Martens hold you to the ground in case of high wind.
  9. Own nothing, be happy, and eat ze bugs.
  10. Turismo Bodine's mother was going to name him Superleggera, but changed her mind.
  11. There's never been a shortage of chimps using the wrong tool for every job imaginable.
  12. As the windshield on this car is not compound-curved, making a better looking replacement from flat clear plastic stock is relatively straightforward.
  13. Significant improvement in overall shape and lines, definitely.
  14. Fart can exhaust systems add at least 100 horsepower and make everyone think your clapped out Toyota or Honda is a real race car that probably ran at LeMans.
  15. TODAY I GOT A FAKE EMAIL SUPPOSEDLY FROM NETFLIX SAYING MY PAYMENT DETAILS NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. KINDA ODD , 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE NETFLIX. ANYWAY, THE ORIGINATING ADDRESS WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECT, SO I FORWARDED THE EMAIL TO "phishing@netflix.com". A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS PARTICULAR INCARNATION IS A FAIRLY RECENT VERSION OF ONE THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. AS ALWAYS, LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE ORIGINATING ADDRESS OF ANY REQUEST FOR ACCOUNT INFO UPDATES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THE SUPPOSED SERVICE PROVIDER. DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS, OR PROVIDE ANY PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INFO, AND IF YOU THINK THE EMAIL MIGHT BE LEGIT, SIMPLY CONTACT THE SERVICE PROVIDER DIRECTLY. IN SPITE OF THE WARNINGS, PEOPLE ARE STILL LOSING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY TO THESE SCAMS, SO PAY ATTENTION. FOR MORE INFO: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/65674
  16. Rome is where you're supposed to do as the Romans.
  17. Checked airline baggage that goes unclaimed for three months can be sold, often at auction.
  18. "Gay" means "happy and carefree" and that's all I have to say on that topic
  19. Quiet snipe hunting at the beach during the full-moon submarine races is lotsa fun.
  20. Oh yes...I could look at her every day.
  21. I haven't tried it yet, but this appears to be an option... https://flixier.com/tools/gif-meme-maker
  22. Good advice for everyone: Lead, follow, or get out of the way. (Thomas Paine)
