Guess who's coming back for IRT: Himalayas next season? Our buddy Rick Yemm! Now if Drew would come back for that as well, that would be some real entertainment!

Vin Suprynowicz is an associate editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and author of The Black Arrow and The Ballad of Carl Drega. Why obey a lawless court? Posted by Vin Suprynowicz Thursday, Jul. 29, 2010 at 03:38 PM I know I'm showing my age here, but aren't...

There's a new Cobra CB coming out. Would it be considered inappropriate advertising for me to post a pic of it?

See what they attached to the HEALTHCARE bill. URL at the bottom. I recommend going there; the comments are very interesting. The Serious Tracking of Americans Begins They have passed the health bill, they have passed the financial regulations bill and they have snuck stuff into...

This particular economist is the one who was once asked "When might we regain our freedom?" His reply was, "When checks from Washington no longer buy anything." On that note (sorry for the >>s): A Timetable for Federal Default > Gary North > July 9, 2010A Timetable for Federal Default >...

As much as I'd really like to use one of the slimmer, lower profile generators like the small Hondas or Honeywells, the cost is just too high. I may have to go with the bigger kind, the ones mounted in the frame. I'm not crazy about the idea, but I may have to resort to that, being that they...

Daley, who should be called something else with a D and an A in it, announced what is being called the toughest handgun law in the nation. Principal outrages are that a resident of Chicago would only be allowed one gun in working order at any one time, and that you would be arrested for taking...

Being that this is Canada Day, it seems only fitting that we Yanks take a moment to thank you for the many wonderful things that you've given us, and possibly spend another moment reviewing the not-so-wonderful things you send us. After all, how else will you know what to send more of and what...

Among all the users, we should be able to scare up a few Seinfeld fans. What are your favorite bits or episodes? I was just thinking about George pretending to be a marine biologist. "You know I always wanted to pretend to be an architect!" And the one where Kramer becomes a commie store Santa!

I was talking to a guy who essentially lives in his van. He's not a bum, really, just more like a permanent camper. I was asking him his opinion on my AC problem, and I mentioned that, as a fat guy, I gotta have my AC. He said, "You're not fat." I thought, "Poor bas***d...his vision is...

My AC works intermittently. Generally, it works while idling, but when I drive above a slow, city-traffic speed, it shuts down. Sometimes it'll start again after 45 minutes or so of highway driving. Then, when I park, sometimes it'll quit and it may take me an hour to get it working again. I...

YouTube - Obama DRUNK!! They did these with Bush, too. Funny stuff.

While at the travesty of a truckstop, the glorified 7-11 known as the Flying J in Commerce, GA, I saw a sign advertising their price on small bottles of soda. These aren't the 20oz ones, but smaller, for .99. At the bottom of the sign, it says, "Everyday low value." Really. I've seen the...

General question: how long did it take you to make your money back on your investments of insulation, generator, and AC/heat unit? I've got to figure out the best way to pitch these to my owner.

When compressed air-powered vehicles were being developed in Europe, I thought, "Fantastic!" But then I read that to make a car run on compressed air, it has to be kept small and light, and small and light won't meet American safety standards for crashes. Can't one just use a bigger compressor...

It seems that a month or two ago, I was constantly running into drivers for smaller outfits that were signed on to 3 or 4 carriers. Now that I want to ask them about this, I only run into the drivers from major companies that disallow this. I'd like to know some of the companies that allow...

Went into the men's room at the Flying J in Amarillo to wash my hands and such before eating, and straight out of a scene from Seinfeld, this jerk comes out of a stall, and I hear the toilet flush. He passes me at the sink and walks out. I thought, "He'd better not be going to the buffet."...

Looking at Honda generators. There's one on their website, the EU3000ISAN, that specifies it delivers enough juice to power an AC unit. But it weighs in at 130lbs! How much juice do I need to power, say, a 9000 BTU AC unit, the ones that stand on the floor in the corner? I'd kind of like to...

Ok, I admit I've made some cracks at your expense in re: the ubiquitous pot roast, macaroni and cheese, and fried chicken on your buffets. But I hereby publicly promise to never to do so again if you'll reverse your decision to contract Denny's to provide food service in your plazas...
