    When in doubt, throw it out. The question is the answer. Especially chicken.

    I was just watching his speech to some business group. Good speech and he laid out a pretty fair list of his administration’s accomplishments. If he can stick to the record and stay out of the mud he will do well.

    There's a reason that proper racing and rally drivers have to abide by a ton of rules and take additional tests. Assholes.

    It makes sense. I imagine they might cancel the super bowl if the left guard got sick. Because that would be the right thing to do.

    The pressure to take a boat or ship out can be extreme. For commercial fishermen, you don't fish, you don't make any money. For others, it may be a schedule problem. My FIL's neighbor is the captain of a container ship. It has an A crew and a B crew, plying a regular route between Houston and Amsterdam. The ship runs a tight schedule. A couple of years back, he was under intense pressure to take his ship through a storm, in order to keep that schedule. As captain, he refused, changing his route and losing a day and a half. He had to come before a committee at work to explain his actions, because of the money lost.

    @Horace said in Pretty soon you're talking about real money: I struggle to love much of the classical repertoire as it is. I suspect I would be batting zero in an attempt to love the left handed stuff. Philistine.

    George Orwell smiled. All protests are created equal. Some protests are more equal than others. The irony is completely lost on the self righteousness of many.
