    You make shame your bitch, man. I'm going to change all the fluids in my bike this weekend, and next week I'm doing my brakes. Pads, discs, everything. It's about 280$ in parts alone. Which is salty, but still...hard to beat having a good, reliable bike.

    Seven, I believe, and six windows. Change paid at the first, bills at the second, credit card at the third. At the fourth, they will greet you by name, and ask you to move forward to the fifth window, at which they will confirm your order with photographs on an iPad. At the sixth window, you...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    This is probably the best way to say it for me, too. I think it's mostly the departures, but it isn't - I don't expect to see the book when I go see a movie. There are a bunch of things, but I just didn't enjoy the first two.

    The places around here use the second windows during peak hours, and it significantly speeds things up. Plus, then the people handling your food don't handle money, which is always good. All the McDonalds here now have two drive through lanes, so two people can order at once. Also speeds...

    He's a dick, to be sure, but he didn't break a stated rule. If he persists, then a shaw is justified. If he shuts the hell up, let it ride.

    And drop ceilings have evolved a lot. You can put them in with as little as about a half inch clearance. They also look a lot better than they used to. The finished part of my basement has a finished ceiling, but if I had done it, it would have a drop ceiling. I might still do this when I do...

    That's interesting. I guess that's not something you could accomplish over charcoal. A hot frying pan could do it, though. Also, rest your steaks longer than 10 minutes, man.

    His work inGood Morning, Vietnamwas really inspiring. He had virtually no script when he was on air, and he came up with much of it on the spot. Fully immersed himself in the culture of the time enough to crack wise about historically accurate facts. What a funny, tortured man. It's a shame.
