You young whipper-snapper! My first 2 Chevys had keys made by Briggs and Stratton! And the "climate control system" was the inspiration for the Transporter controls on Star Trek.
I think my Dad's first car didn't even have keys, if you were worried about it getting stolen you just took the...
My mother would always turn it down to like 55 or whatever the minimum was when we left to go somewhere, but when she got back she would always turn it up to max, let it get too hot, then turn it back down to 70 or whatever she wanted it set at. She was absolutely certain that turning the...
I don't see where A requires the cop to be "working", just that he commands you to stop. He could be eating lunch and decides he doesn't want to be bothered by the citizen walking up to him with a complaint or whatever.
So, you walk up to a cop and get 10 feet away from him and he THEN tells...
New John Wick film idea, he is in an office when suddenly attacked by a dozen guys armed with machine guns and samurai swords. Quickly grabbing a handy IBM keyboard and a pencil...
That one does look just like mine though.
My first PC was an AT&T branded unit. It came with a genuine IBM keyboard, the 5 pin "microphone" style connector of course. Weighed a ton and was built of solid metal except for the top cover and keys. You could bash in someone's skull with it, then go right back to work using it. Outlasted the...
Hey, the A-Team were the most accurate marksmen the world has ever seen! Who else could fire an average of 2,489 rds per episode from mini 14s (with their stocks folded, no less) from the hip and NOT hit anyone? Maybe Jed Clampett or Chuck Norris...
What always amazed me was they could crash...
The man can't string more than 4 words together without making a mistake, you really think anybody trusts him with the nuke codes? The "Nuclear Football" that follows him around is likely filled with snacks, dementia meds, and extra Depends, while the real one is with whoever is really running...
Welcome to the USA!
As a former member of Her Majesty's Armed Services, I would think the classic issued arms of years past would hold an interest for you. The new Springfield Armory SA-35 Browning Hi Power clone is one of the best and is available at an affordable price, compared to...
Not for 59 years. Apparently a year or so ago a new writer decided he would now have telekinetic powers as a result of being "resurrected". He also can now walk as he is a clone. He was in a wheelchair because his legs were crushed in an early encounter with the villain Lucifer. Over the years...
On the income side our labor rate went from $85 to $120 an hour. Everyone got a nice raise too. The transmission repair business has been booming since Covid hit for some reason, was pretty slow before. Just starting to slow down again, probably due to high gas prices. Still can't find anyone...
There used to be a slogan, "sex sells". If you ran an ad selling whatever with a pretty woman in it, the women would want to buy say beauty products or fashion because then they could look like her. The guys would buy the beer or car because they thought they would have a better chance of...
I have an SR22 as well, works great with no issues but one. The safety works exactly opposite almost every other pistol out there. Up is fire and down is safe/decock. After a lifetime of firing guns with thumb safeties, even striker fired guns without them I will sweep my thumb down out of...
Shopper's Fair had a sub hunt game in the "lobby" where the carts were stored. My Brother had to hold me up to the periscope but I wasted a ton of quarters on that machine! Dad taking me to Blackburn's barber shop to get a trim, he had comic books laying out and an old Pepsi machine that had...
