Tim W. SoCal Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 "Run to the store and get us some eggs" is what she instructed me to do
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" is very profound. Edited July 28, 2024 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) Profound thoughts of tremendous benefit or consequence to the public discourse have long been contributed by Great American leaders. Edited July 28, 2024 by Tim W. SoCal
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 "Mind yourself!" is what Mom demanded when any of us kids were on our way to being mischievous.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 "Mischievous" is often mispronounced miss-chee-vee-ous (it's miss-chi-vuss) by people who like to add syllables to words for some reason, like the ABC news talker this AM repeatedly saying "preventative" when the real word is simply "preventive". 1
Matt Bacon Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 "Preventive" is generally favoured in American English, whereas "Preventative" is the more common in British English usage. Neither, however, is incorrect.
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Incorrect use of terms, like "6 AM in the morning", "8 PM tonight", "ATM machine" or "V.I.N. number" tend to make the speaker look ignorant and drives me nuts.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 (edited) Nuts to folks who use "irregardless" for "regardless" on either side of the pond, but the Brits seem to like to say "aluminium" while we say "aluminum"...both of which also seem to be correct depending on location.

ChrisBcritter Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Location, location and location are the three most important things to watch out for when investing in real estate.
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Estate sales are often good places to find bargains on vintage and not-so-vintage model kits, as well as other neat stuff that you just can't live without.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 (edited) "Without a clue" must be a pretty popular way to go through life, 'cause there sure are a lot of folks who fit the description. Edited July 29, 2024 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 description is as follows: I didn't see the driver, it was a black car, I think a sedan, blindingly fast and incredibly loud
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Loud exhausts used to raise the ire of the cops, but today, with patrol car windows up and AC on, it pretty much seems to be anything goes 'round here...especially diesels, recent Mopars and Mustangs, Harleys, and anything running a fartcan.
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 exhaust tone of many 4 cylinder engines with aftermarket tuna can mufflers reminds me of a dolphin farting through a megaphone 1
slusher Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Megaphone I have never herd a dolphin break wind, hard too imagine..
Tim W. SoCal Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Imagine finding yourself in the hobby shop of your youth with unlimited funds and shelf after shelf after shelf teeming with vintage models
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Models to the left of me, models to the right of me, and a big ol' wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket, eh?
A modeler named mike Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Eh, that wasn't a big ol' wad of cash in your pocket that burned that hole it was a half lite cigarette. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Cigarette smoke still smells great to me, and has me jonesin' even after 20+ years quit, but one puff makes me feel like puke.
