Mets at Diamondbacks. J.J. Putz on the mound getting ready to deliver a pitch. An audio guy up in the booth flipped the wrong switch at the wrong time, and the ballpark's loudspeakers let'r rrrrrrrip! Must C Comical The really loud and really annoying sound is actually the very beginning of...

It gets better. Obama the Clown has been banned from future state fairs in Missouri, and the other rodeo performers have been ordered to undergo sensitivity training. Seriously. Sensitivity training. Missouri state officials on both sides of the aisle were quick to denounce the performance...

I watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and check the Web site, for locations that are in the places I go to. Never had a bad meal at any of those places. Look them up by State

Post #5, final paragraph. The pain is there for a reason, and it's because the brain is sending signals to the damaged muscle, as well as surrounding muscles which affect it, to let you know not to use that muscle. The signals put tension on the muscles to discourage their use. But that same...

Every single Internet-connected device is looked at for exploitable hacks. Every one of them. As soon as a new product comes out, throngs want to know, "What can we do with this?" Google's Chromecast was hacked the day it was released. In many respects that's a bad thing, because if anyone can...

Didja know that Queen Elizabeth owns a McDonalds? It's right next to Buckingham Palace.

The easiest way to find out is just ask any employee. They'll know if they work for a franchise owner or for McOpCo. Also, nearly every McDonalds (and ALL McOpCo locations) will have a plaque indicating if it's corporate owned or a franchise, and the name of the franchise owner.

I do love a good irony.

Not every NSAID works the same on everyone. The 3 OTC NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. Ketoprofen used to be OTC, but now it's prescription-only. One NSAID may have little effect on one person for a specific condition, while another will work great. Still others may need one of the...

Either ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) should work wonders. Both are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Aspirin is a NSAID, too, but the amount you'll need to take over the course of a few days will greatly increase the chances of stomach bleeding with...

It's hard to say whether you're right or wrong, as it depends on where you are parking. For example, if you are talking about parking at the movie theater, or the doctor's office, or the grocery store, then no, you're not wrong. But if you're talking about parked at a truck stop, then getting...

The newly retired former bus driver, John Moody. I'm just sayin'. Al and Jesse aren't going to go after one of their own to stir up racial emotions, because if they did that, the only racial emotions that would get stirred would be negative emotions from whites towards blacks. That can't be...

You think it's easy for the plaintiff to prove to the jury that an 8,000 pound van is no different than a 33,000 truck? You're right, I think it's incredibly hard to prove to a jury that there's no difference, considering every member of a jury has seen the difference for themselves every time...

It became the issue in Post #35. I refuted it (or at least reasonably disagreed) in Post #36. And it would take a barely competent attorney about three sentences to convince the jury of something they all already know. Which is exactly what I said in the final sentence of the paragraph you...

Not all that much of a challenge, really. There's a simple reason why the DOT regulates some vehicles and not others. A heavy truck destroys everything in it's path while the driver usually walks away. Neither of those things happen very often with a lighter cargo van. The challenge will be for...

Most aftermarket catalytic converters are going to have a five year, 50,000 mile warranty. If it doesn't have at least that, I would look for another one (most will last 100,000 miles, but some have been known to die at 10,000 miles). I would also look for one that's stamped CARB or 50 STATE...

I would think "C" as well, since the turn signal should be on 100 feet (200 feet in some states) before starting to make the turn. As for the testing your brakes thing, you shouldn't be testing your brakes while out on the road amongst traffic, anyway, so there's no reason to maintain space...

I'm sure they did. But, "We would like you..." and "We require you..." are two very different things. The former is a want and desire, while the latter is a demand which requires compensation. Most contracts plainly state that the carrier is under no obligation to guarantee getting you a load...

I've never heard of any carrier with that requirement.

At my previous carrier they made so few exceptions, even when exceptions were necessary, that you can count them on one hand. There were numerous times when the person enforcing the policy admitted that enforcing it was just stoopid, but that they had to enforce it, anyway. They'd lose their job...
