    Mini Cooper, who has one and do you like/love it?

    PS: I may or may not have driven mine at a similarly spirited pace on the highway on Easter morning. 140 seemed like 70 and I was still swapping lanes not for the sake of safety, but to attain knowledge on stability. The car is stable.

    Mini Cooper, who has one and do you like/love it?

    Nice looking MINI. Love the black rims. I think you definitely made the right choice. Hell, for $40+k, you could get a 3-series that would obliterate the MINI in every facet possible. Or, which is my thinking recently, a Shelby Cobra kit car. That said, beautiful MINI. As an addendum to my...

    Gilbert Gottleib Fired by Aflac

    So true. What I said a few pages back still applies, though. He's like the Tesla of comedy. He's annoyingly semi-relevant, and not very entertaining in his own right. People not only won't appreciate him now, they won't even know his effect until it's time to acknowlege him. He's a dirty genius...

    Heist movies? Bank jobs, art thefts.

    David Mamet adaptations are not out of the question, either. Or films of the sort.

    Random Thoughts That Don't Warrant Full Threads

    Stories like this make me jealous. :shrug:

    I know females =/= subs, but females aren't allowed in the program at all? (i.e.: carriers)?

    Heist movies? Bank jobs, art thefts.

    Thanks to all others, as well. Both The Thomas Crown Affairs and the Italian Jobs are good genre films. As are, off the top of my head, Heat, Ronin, The Score. etc. I know there are diamonds out there being forgotten...

    Have not seen this one. Love Peter O'Toole, as well. Cheers, yourself, Mr. Boston Tim

    Bullies can bully with no issue of getting in trouble, but...

    dchester and bmooney's stories seem to be pretty good in my book. I was a scrawny, short kid in school but was never bullied, so I don't have a real card to play. I wasn't especially cool, but I was a-ight, I guess. in d's case: **** yeah. stand up for yourself. If I were a dad, I can't...

    Tsunami/earthquake in Japan...

    OPT: Thanks for the info. No way in hell I could've taken the initiative to explain it so well and level headed. The Gr8est: You were a Nuke? Good show. So, TMI came to pass.

    I thought GG was funny when I was 5 or 6. Evidently, he's a real 'comic's comic' in that he makes professional comedians laugh and he writes a lot of their schticks. Anyway. I'd say I'd been more riveted and concerned than the average non-afflicted person over what's happened. I've...

    Can you laugh at yourself?

    Yes, in fact probably towards a deleterious degree. Whilst I take serious things very srsly, the majority of things are so absurdly trivial that I often neglect how my thoughts affect others, etc. I'm often flippant and jovial and childishly f'in around when others are serious. (i.e.: this...

    Heist movies? Bank jobs, art thefts.

    Of the sort. Love them. Some folks dig prison films (Jon Prine y'all?), other tolerate Hugh Grant (-MM).

    Tsunami/earthquake in Japan...

    In fairness, there was a reknowned expect on GMA predicting this very event last week. Based on scientific predictions.

    Tsunami/earthquake in Japan...

    Unforunately, the net nuke result WILL probably be akin to Three Mile Island. :manning: : Human nature is a combo of 'good enough', budgetary constraints, hubris, and hubris again (variations). Fortunately, like the oil spills, it'll miraculously disappear.

    Prisons and nursing homes - the big swap...

    If this is directed towards my response, I'd like to express my sincere wish that you'd re-read it as I intended it and not as you initially responded to it. I'm guessing my intention and your response couldn't be more polar opposite. In short: It's sad what happens to us all. It's admirably...

    Schefter Says the Pats Have Signed Marcus Stroud

    I'd look at Bob Sanders, too. You'd be remiss not to. ****er can play. No fault on the Jets for that. Stroud for the minimum? Same as above. If he's 70% of what he was, he's in the top 10% at his position.
