I don't, either, but that's not my point. What someone does for a job doesn't really give them any special insight into, or preclude them from knowing, what life is like, be they a truck driver, an actor, a donut maker, an auto mechanic, or an assembly line worker.

All motor oil additives do exactly the same thing - lighten your wallet. There is no free lunch and there are no cures in a can. See BobIsTheOilGuy. Performing regularly scheduled maintenance with quality manufacturer-recommended products will see to it that you get all your truck can give...

True, but that's not the case here. This has to do with whining and hypocrisy, both in public and in PMs. I'd elaborate here in public, but then I'd just be another whining hypocrite. :D

Yeah, that's almost as absurd as a truck driver telling us what life is like.

Yes, the glass is Gorilla Glass, manufactured by Corning. It's very scratch resistant, but can be brittle and will shatter when dropped (I've dropped mine half a dozen times with no problems, tho. I do have a Seidio case on it, but others with cases have had their screen shatter, so it's more of...

The discriminating expedter uses Verizon for cell phone and Internet data, sturgeon caviar on their footlong Subways, and Grey Poupon on their Pilot hot dogs. Everybody else is just a bunch a redneck truckers.

An Officer and a Gentleman. This one's also more or less very much R Rated, thanks to the additional female sheep reference: Recruit Sid Worley meets Gny. Sgt. Emil Foley.

Kind of off-topic isn't it? It's also a personal message that belongs in a PM rather than in public, and it's baffling why you would do so. In any case, if I wanted my location made public, I'd state it in the Locations thread or elsewhere. I ran two loads yesterday and one today, not that...

I'm not getting involved in this. I'll just sit here munching on my cookies. :D

The short PG-13-ish version: Private Cowboy Meets the Gny. Sgt. Hartman The longer, very R rated version: They get to know each other a little better

You sure you didn't drop it under a sledgehammer or something? :D Corning Gorilla Glass is nearly impossible to scratch, but it'll shatter is a heartbeat if you drop it just right, even from a foot or so. The touch screen itself is not rugged at all. It's a delicate electroconductivity layer...

Oxygen is the third must abundant element in the cosmos, yet they can't find it anywhere. That always cracks me up. And helium was first discovered on the sun before they found it here, despite it being, like, you know, everywhere. The other one is they look at water ice, like the ice caps on...

There is an old saying that if a million monkeys typed on a million keyboards for a million years, eventually all the works of Shakespeare would be produced. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

There is an age-old rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees. Each one wants to beat the other, and have often gone to extremes to do so. It all goes back to the off-season of 1919-1920 when the Red Sox sold Babe "The Bambino" Ruth to the Yankees. Prior to that season, the Red Sox were one of...

Well, yeah, a wack job is a wack job, and only a wack job, right up until the point where they introduce some belief or agenda into their wackiness. For example, Timothy McVeigh was an Army veteran, a security guard, a Catholic, a Republican, a militia sympathizer who visited Waco during the...

Yes, A church is a building, but that's not the sole definition. When people talk about "the Catholic Church," they are not talking about a specific building somewhere. They are talking about the whole body of Catholic believers. "Church" is a building for public Christian worship, or the...

I would, but hopefully this will serve as a reminder to hit "Preview Post" instead of "Submit New Thread" or "Submit Reply". If pictures aren't gonna load or if links are bad, they'll show that in the Preview.

Every time a famous person dies and makes headlines, there will soon to be an e-mail or Web posting somewhere that whines about the famous person that lots and lots of people know getting headlines, and the people in the armed forces (usually Marines) who died this week not getting any headlines...

Every church is a cult, yes, even Christian churches. Look up the definition of cult. The icky bad meaning is a relatively new entry into the dictionaries. Be that as it may, Christians (some, or even many) of them go wild and wacky all the time. When it's toooo wacky people will say things...
