And Jerry Lewis. Jerry Lewis is my demonstration that modern France has neither style or couth.

BB, that sure looks like a WAWA store. They started in the Phily area and have grown while 7-11 seems to be dying. I did not know they were in your area. Yes, that is a very attractive golf cart. Like the many SUVs and Pickups that I see on the streets that never engage in a supra or carry more than...

This is a sad day indeed. Please give her an engine transplant. I have listened to too many sad stories about 'the car I used to have, but I finally had to sell it." Family is not the place to rationally calculate cost' benefit ratios. Otherwise you would be in an electric golf cart. snailgate.

The federal military cemetery in New Castle County Delaware, has a similar process. I am ignorant of any active duty military units participating, but I am ignorant. Many civilian groups show up. If you want to participate, you need to get there early. Parking is limited and the cars will line the f...

I am guessing that this was in the british tradition in that the recipe includes lard. (pig fat)

"However, conservatives say that the same level of respect towards the American flag is no longer there. Following that, someone were to burn the American flag, they would probably not receive much repercussions. Most conservatives agree that the American flag is a symbol of freedom and it should be...

Wonderful. Now I can offer my observant Jewish friends a nicely grilled cheeseburger with mayo, but keep the hotdogs away.

This is 'Memorial Day' weekend officially in the USofA. It has become a time for big bargains in mattress sales. It has a more important meaning. It's history has roots in the American Civil War. Before it was an official federal holiday, it was known as 'decoration day' at time to go to the family ...

I have always looked at it as a miracle that Smith did not get knocked down by malaria or something similar in that Mississippi swamp in Illinois.

Has the board of Rabbis ruled on whether or not it is ok to put mayonnaise and cheese on an impossible burger?

Mr. Lincoln could well have been speaking of Jos. Smith Jr, leader of 'the Mormons" who were active in anti-slavery politics Smith later became a serious national candidate for US President Honest Abe's wife was present at one of the criminal trials where Smith was the defendant. At his death Smith ...

Yes Joe, except for what is the explanation for the tiktok logo that appears under the speaker in the video you post at the head of this thread?

Snalgate.

Econonline, I suspect the speaker would have no idea that the name refers to cutting up a person from Austria. But I do wonder what she does with French Fries. Then again, English does have the habit of giving particular names to food made from animals, so we can pretend it is not that. But we are r...

BSG, your observations above about animal behavior now are expanding to include plant behavior. Where will it stop? Gia? Sheri S. Tepper eloquently invited us to consider an entire planet as a sentient being.

OK, BSG, I can agree on the danger, even the anti-Christianity, of American Christian Nationalism. But I find I am jumping through the hoop of 'anti-semitism' which seems to encompass any non-support of the State of Israel's foreign policy. The evil of the shoa seems to be a 'get out of jail free' c...

I think I like it. it is better than the Subaru Brat (which was just about as functional), and better than the Pontiac Aztec (which admittedly, is a very low bar)

In this century one presidential election turned on the question 'Who would you rather drink a beer in the back yard with?' I cannot imagine a more meaningless reason for choosing the president of the USA. The consensus majority of voters rarely seems to driven by anything resembling an objective st...

But Gen;l what does your rear mirror indicate when you are traveling South, Southwest by South? Snailgate.

The only wing mirror I have seen in decades have been on trucks and school buses. I only see them on the outside of doors. I can rarely see the 'rear mirror' on other cars because the windows are so dark I cannot even tell if there really is someone behind the driver's wheel. Never could figure out ...
