  1. The grass in my yard grows too damn fast. I'm out there cutting it all the freaking time. :)
  2. I use the back-side of a butter knife. No shavings that way!
  3. My complaint is that no one has started this topic already.
  4. Well, what do you expect from the Albanians? :) :) The have them here in the Philly Suburbs and they generally list the time and distance to some exit up ahead. It's really nice since it'll be "Time to US322: 5 miles 6 minutes" if it's clear ahead, or "5 miles 15 minutes" if it's all hosed up. Plus they do announce accidents. My only gripe is they don't always update them quickly, so it'll say there's a problem and I'll be on the back road looking over at an empty highway. :(
  5. I don't doubt it, I've polished off three dozen before. Perhaps not in Buffalo, but you find some rather small wings in other places.
  6. Just keep walking, it's not like they're going to chase you or grab you. It seems rude, but they started it. :)
  7. I could go into a technical explanation on how HD signals require 4x times the bandwidth, and satellites are expensive, but they have something you want, and they can charge you for it. Capitalism, baby.
  8. Before you bag on Toyota (and maybe other manufacturers), you should read this: http://edgehopper.com/what-toyota-knows-that-gm-doesnt/ Executive summary: Toyota hasn't laid any full-timers off in the US since 2006. They have their workers take classes, do drills, etc. in hopes that they'll be productive and happy when the production lines start rolling again. Estimated cost? $50mil, or one CEO golden parachute.
  9. Mine didn't. She was actually up-front and mentioned before we got to them that a few houses were listed by the same agency, not even by her directly. Sounds like you need a better realtor.
  10. I had my bike at a track last week and now riding near the speed limit seems so slow and undramatic.
  11. I hate it when people use a clich?d line incorrectly. :) The phrase is 'queerer than a three dollar bill', because there is a real two-dollar bill.
  12. I live in Philly.
