Speakeasy days would have suited me just fine: at least you could kinda tell who the crooks were without a scorecard.

[ side bar (no pun intended) ] - Great Uncle on mum's side worked at a speakeasy in Pennsylvania. One day he got home and had a "really bad feeling" about the club and its destiny. So, he took his wife and kids and left town.

Next day, the place was shot up by a rival gang, killing everyone inside the place.

Invention is great when it solves a physical problem in the real world, not so great when it makes up and propagates "alternative facts".

Facts are not debatable, opinions are.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Are opinions distinguishable from facts?" is the position of the fuzzy thinkers who have no use for objective reality.

[thatz4u]

reality....a fascinating concept...

[Ace-Garageguy]

Concept cars appeal to me much more than most boring production vehicles.

[NOBLNG]

Vehicles are what this forum is all about.

About time we get rid of daylight savings time.

[BeakDoc]

Time to pick one and stick with it and I really do not care whether it’s daylight savings or standard even though I lean towards the prior.

[Classicgas]

Prior, Richard is a actor.

[stitchdup]

actor is a generic term for anybody that acts but it can also mean criminal in some law definitions or deliberate attacks, eg. japan was the bad actor in pearl harbour

[Classicgas]

Harbour Freight is a store that sells relatively cheap and usually not the best quality tools.

[1972coronet]

Tools made in a certain part of the world are abject trash

[Ace-Garageguy]

Trash tools are generally made for markets that shop price first, and have little understanding of or demand for quality.

[Classicgas]

Quality tools are well worth the cost.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Cost in wasted time, buggered fasteners, broken or dull drill bits, and non-warrantied tool failures usually offsets any money "saved" by buying 3-rd rate garbage to work with. 

[NOBLNG]

With high quality tools, you can quite often get a lifetimes worth of use out of them, whereas with the cheap Chinese knockoffs you might be lucky to get one job done.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Done and dusted" is British idiomatic English meaning "completely finished".

[ChrisBcritter]

"Finished with Engines" is the last command on a ship's engine room telegraph.

[Claude Thibodeau]

"Telegraph" was part of the name of many celebrated newspapers back in the day.

Day Tripper, one way ticket....yeah

[Ace-Garageguy]

Yeah, there still seems to be a deficiency in complying with the "sentence" part of the one-sentence-game rules...but not everyone cares anyway.

Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere written by Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend in 1965 recorded by the Who

[Ace-Garageguy]

Who said anything about responses had to be actual sentences, anyhow?

Anyhow, the weather is beginning to warm up.
