I watched Airplane just last weekend with the boy and was pleasantly surprised to see it hadn't been reedited. I thought I had read that they wanted to take the 'jive' scene out, but it was there.

I wonder if you could successfully sue if you got in a wreck on or around 3 years and a day. Does GM notify you when that feature is about to expire?

Sounds like yet another boneheaded GM move.

Don’t know about Lopez but the dirty dozen was a terrific movie

My favorite scene

When we were diligent about stoking the fireplace, yeah, that's about what we went through. Granted, this was an older model, I think we installed it in 1986-87. It was rated at 80K BTU and heated the entire downstairs (about 1800 square feet) of a poorly insulated house with 1921-vintage windows.

Nobody likes a smug limey.

Or so I've heard.

That video is just an eagle with juveniles in what looks like Florida. Beautiful still.

Not the first time I’ve posted this, and won’t be the last. 😂

That guy's hilarious. Also: he slayed on Rock Quiz. Every time.

Well, those comments made the circuit.

Lol guys

I was aware of the Soviet Union being interested in ground-effect vehicles, but I never knew about the ekranoplan.

Maybe...but the fertility rate in Africa is substantially higher than any other continent. Lots of labor that need to work.

For example, the country of Nigeria will be the world's 3rd most populous country in the next 30 years, only behind India (#1) and China (#2).

Is that with or without covid?

Guess we have quorum then 😂

Swipe left or right Jon?

The best thing about this for me is be to able to fly Etiad or emirates. Look like great airlines. Maybe I can fly somewhere via Abu Dhabi and skip quarantine.
