  1. Come listen with us Danny.... Forever... and ever... and ever...
  2. And based upon the fact that I accurately predicted that "Will and Grace" would eventually go off the air, I can now state that Television will cease to exist in three years, to be replaced by interpretive dance. Performed by mice.
  3. The Filling Station Specialising in American food with the best ingredients, Kick-Ass chili and meatloaf ala Maple Drive, macaroni and cheese with artisnal cheddar from Wisconsin, free-range fried chicken and waffles, etc.
  4. From yesterdays LA Times: I've gone back to taking the bus commuting to and from work, and even on the weekends. I drive my car once a week now tops.
  5. Flow-through ventilation. On older cars you had to fun the fan of open a window to get air in the car. I think it was only on non-AC equipped cars
  6. I didn't even notice the commercial until I read people were upset. Now that I've actually paid attention to it, I find it mildly amusing. It's certainly made me pay more attention to the car. It's also made me, for the first time, use the "User Ignore" feature of this site. In some cases, ignorance can be bliss.

    Girls...argg

    Drop her like a hot rock- don't even bother to explain why. Life is too short to deal with people who are playing crazy mind games on you.
  8. Straight Males have that instinct. Gay Males have the instinct to hump each other. No, you are writing that our wiring is screwed up. Our wiring is just fine, thanks. The "problem"? Your words show you up. We are not a "problem", well, perhaps only to people like you. On that note, my laundry and breakfast is done, so I'm out of here.
  9. Buick has been doing a Jaguaresque version of their cars for nearly 20 years. Sadly for Jaguar, Buick has been doing the better version for the past 10.
  10. He seems like a reasonable guy- he'd feel what most parents feel: love for their child tinged with slight disappointment that there may be no "conventional" family will be in the child's future (not knowing that any kid may not have that, and that gay kids can get pretty darned close), fear at what their child will have to face from society (luckily, it's not 1950) and eventual acceptance. Or at least detente.
  11. My parents were married at City Hall. Married, not merged. Pronounced Husband and Wife by the powers vested by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That's all I need, thanks. The only person that can say with any surety that being gay is a "choice" is someone who chose to stop acting upon his homosexual urges. And that's called fooling yourself....
  12. That would be the official Lesbian car. The boys stick to BMWs. Paulino, I'm there with you on the martini (don't care for beer) but they are expensive out. Iusually order beer out a bar since I can hold it for about three years. back to the Caliber ad: It was mildly amusing, didn't do much for the product. What was I supposed to get from the ad? That driving an ungainly compact that looked like a New Balance trail shoe will make me look, what, butch? No, not so much. If I want to look butch, I'll drive a Silverado. A Caliber is about as butch as a doily.
  13. Actually I thought he was right to close it. Having read the WSJ articles, I thought the basic premise was weak, and the comment of "where's Donald Trump" (the man who bankrupted a casino) was laughable.
  14. And I would gladly have a beer with you.
  15. Uhhm, I don't know, since Lincoln freed the slaves? Since Jews were allowed to buy in Hancock Park? Since Women got the vote? I seem to have read that there were some issues with those decisions as well. Not trying to poke a stick into anybody's cage here. Really. :-) Well, if there hasn't been one, I'm starting one. I'm Irish on my mother's side enough that I can get citizenship, and I am here to say, I do not have a pot of gold (well not one that I'm telling you about, don't have a four-leaf clover, almost never wield a shillelagh, and while magically delicious, and am not going to grant your wishes, no matter how much green beer you feed me. Unless you're reeeeeeeeeally cute.
  16. Might I suggest you not live in San Francisco? Your complaint seems like living in Africa and complaining about all those damned migrating Wildebeest....
  17. I am out of the closet and not in your face, but I do have to gently remind you that you are allowed by law to marry....
  18. If they wanted him to look Gay, he'd be wearing this:
  19. I thought the guy looked more gay before that transformation. He went from pet night at the Faultline to bad 80's prep drag. No gay guy would wear-pleat front shorts........

    My LG Phone...

    I know the RAZR was recalled, but that was one month in a run of over a year and a half. Aren't we always taking on people who diss GM whenever there's a recall? I've always had Motorola, (star-TAC, V8160, and my present V710) and have only upgraded in 10 years because of the wow factor.

    Cooking with Croc

    Raw eggs. The eggs end up not quite cooked. Man, that looks good. For someone who lives on zone bars and diet coke, I'm a repertory or fattening recipes.

    Cooking with Croc

    Just in the interest of balance, a recipe that's fattening, a little dangerous and a bit expensive: Fettuccine Carbonara 4 oz fettuccini 4 oz pancetta, 1/4" dice 3 tbsp white wine 3 egg yolks 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 ea scallions -- sliced 1/4" thick 2 garlic cloves -- sliced thin 2 oz parmegiano -- grated 1 oz pecorino -- grated 1/2 cup cream 1/2 tsp Moldon salt freshly ground white pepper Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a lberal amount of table salt and add the fettuccine Saute the garlic in the olive oil until golden, remove with a slotted spoon and discard (you're just flavoring the oil). Add the Pancetta and brown, then set pancetta aside and discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil and grease the pancetta releases. Add in the wine to deglaze the pan. Add in the cream and cook reduce by half. Drain cooked pasta. In a separate dish, whish the eggs thoroughly- they should change color from deep ochre to a light yellow and be slightly frothy. Add pancetta back into the pan and the hot drained pasta. over medium heat, add in the eggs and turn into the past with tongs to coat everything. Serve with the scallions, Moldon salt, pepper and cheese. Serves 4, 1 if you want your choleserol higher than my zip code.

    Cooking with Croc

    (I read this as I finish my fifth diet Coke) Time to go back to green tea, I guess
  24. Because I think that too many people buy them for the wrong reasons: "I need them so my family can be safe" Yes, that Exploder is so much safer than a Five Hundred. Marge: " I can't see anything there is a whole bunch of SUVs in front of me" Homer: " Don't worry about the SUVs there is a gentle curve ahead" "I need to tow a boat" What, every day? They are usually styled badly, get worse mileage and are allowed to pollute more than a similarly sized sedan. 90% of people that buy them never ever take them off-road, and at least in Los Angeles there's no weather that justifies thier existence.
  25. I guess I'm lucky, I actually saw it before I saw the pictures. The new Escalade is the only SUV that I've seen that I would be caught dead in. It has as much to do with the outgoing model as the Hope diamond does to a lump of coal. And that's from someone who usually loathes SUV's
