  1. That was annoying as hell. My mother died 7 years ago, also unexpectedly. Should I still be whingeing about it? I miss her a lot but jeebus. I manage to go entire days without obsessing about her memory. Maybe I'm just not so nice :)

     

    Those ear thingies ick me out. What are those earlobes going to look like in 20 years? (hint: not good)

     

    I think Jasmin got robbed in any case.

  2. But apparently HER man is just as much of an idiot as she is.

     

     

    Many years ago, I worked as a service writer. Men THINK they know about cars. 90% of them do NOT.

     

    And if you blow an engine in a car, you are not getting a new one unless you order it very specifically. They are rare. And they got a major bargain for the rebuilt engine they got. 

     

    That was a weird case. Really wanted a shitty Lexus, I guess.

  3. Do you think the people at Dodge Ram believe the Hunger Games are real?

     

    Actually, they're trying too hard to get people to stop saying "Dodge Ram". Brilliant marketing move in 2009 to make them "Ram" trucks, not Dodge anymore.

     

    So if you're in the business, like me, and you have a table that defines make and model of a vehicle, it's Ram Ram. 

     

    Fiat Chrysler definitely has some issues in the marketing department.

  4. I need the lyrics to Mr Fischoeder's bourbon song.

     

    Thanks, Internet :)

  5. Will FN pull out their checkbook?

     

     

    Ooh, that's intriguing. I wonder if CK signed any sort of non-compete when he got his severance package.

     

    Although FN would probably not like ATK's reviewing style. If they didn't like one of the sponsor's products, The Network might put the kibosh on saying it on a show. And the idea that they're not biased is one of the more attractive aspects of the CK empire. 

     

    Someone on another board floated the idea of J Kenji Lopez Alt as next face of ATK. He used to work for Cook's Illustrated and is the owner of Serious Eats. He's got the chops and experience, don't know what he's like on camera. 

  6. Anyhow, I'm convinced that if you name your child Crystal (or any variation thereof), stripping is the profession she will most likely have.

     

    Ha. Reminds me of an old Seinfeld routine about naming your kid Jeeves

  7. As if you are going to lose or be a loser on Christmas morning if you don't buy the cool gifts at Best Buy

     

    Just like Christ intended. Those Starbucks cup people would have a lot more credibility if they went after commercialism. Full Charlie Brown!

  8. Unlike JJ, I don't fault anyone for marrying on the cheap. Hell, we're running off to Vegas to do it,

     

    Congrats, Teebax, and if you borrow me some money I'd be glad to come :)

     

    Seriously...we got married in Vegas in 1988 (at the Wee Kirk o'the Heather. Just as cheesy as it sounds!).

     

    Still married. Marriage is the thing, not the wedding.

  9. OMG, the seasoning packet...that was just a blow to any shred of cooking cred she may have had. Hell, I'd rather she used Manwich sauce. I guess because of her sitcom, she's supposed to have some knowledge of what it's like to be one of the 47%, LOL

     

    Plus I happen to know her personal politics .Don't care for her. I will leave at that.

     

    totally with you on that. I have to set it aside to watch The Middle as I think the show is charming

  10. How would the mother not know her child was skipping school/failing?

     

    one last note on this: my kid was in high school, and we'd drop him off on the way to work. We'd sit and watch him go into the building. As soon as we left, he'd walk home and call himself in as sick (Hi, this is Mr Smith, Joe's dad...). Finally after a couple of weeks, a concerned teacher called to ask how he was doing, being so sick and all. 

     

    Ultimately he ended up at alternative school. Sometimes the parents actually do try to do the right thing, but our son is as oppositional as they come. 

     

    So I could see a kid scamming the system for a while, but not forever.
