You think the Fords are bad? Those VW diesels will call the EPA and tell 'em it's you blowing all that NOx into the air!

*Damn machines! Where'd I leave that foil fedora, anyhow?*

My dad says they needed something to bury the smartass kids.

Son of a bitch!

Always suspected that's a coding error. Beverage, 8-letter word? Surely they meant "Guinness."

Whoa. Mere 20/20 nearly killed me a couple of times.

Redecorated the bathroom in a distressing color, too.

I have found that sarcasm tends to get lost on little kids, another indication that Castella is not as young as she seems. My son understood sarcasm and puns from an early age. At five, he managed to outpun the punsters at the ren faire...and get me in trouble for singing...certain rennie songs at ...

Hey, FPF: Ever seen "Reds," with Warren Beatty as John Reed?

The first time I ate roasted beets, sometime in my 40s (Mom always pickled them), I got such a surprise . . . .

Re: 4000 year old toddler: Toilet trainiing woud be #1 on the list...in a BIG way. Ewwwww. My daughter and her husband are pregnant - I am looking forward to her getting used to dealing with diapers.

Somehow I'm reminded of the time the Stooges tried to feed a pill to a horse by using a blowgun.

If your misspent youth was too recent to have seen that, you can probably guess how it turned out.

LANK-is-ter, to be precise. Mispronounced even in most of the rest of Pennsylvania. 8-) When I was there, I'm pretty sure they pronounced it as a 2-vowel noun. Either that, or the middle vowel was there, but barely so. Well, I'm not a native (been voting here only ~40 years), but I pronounce it and...

The solution to idiots with low-profile tires: Icepick. Mallet. Sidewall.

If you can still find an icepick since Sharon Stone's career tanked . . .

^ This is disturbing in all kinds of ways.

Chelsea Handler had a lot of fun with it (and even wore a helmet), but I'm not gonna post that here . . . .

Make sure that it was a bass, at least, to fit the circumstances.

Save the tuna till he starts rebuilding the receiver.

It does seem to me that jalapenos, though now available damn near everywhere, are nowhere near as hot as they were 30 years ago. Whether that's me or the chiles is hard to tell.

Capsicums do cross-pollinate like mad, and interesting things can happen when you raise plants from saved seeds.

Well, despite what people say about Texas (and they say a LOT :mrgreen:), Texans have no monopoly on peculiar pronunciation. Here in Pennsylvania, we have Dubois (DEW-boys), Versailles (ver-SAILS), and Yoghiogheny (YOCK-a-GAY-nee). And we won't even mention Ephrata and Pequea. :roll: And don't forg...

I know some people named Dubois the way you pronounce it. :) Might be descendants of the same family. There was a brewery that made DuBois Budweiser beer when I was a kid, but I think it was named for the town, not run by the family. No idea whether the beer was any good. (A reminder that Budweiser...

Well, now we know who (if not what) Daylla is. One mystery solved. Not many left in this comic series! KIRK??? Sheesh, I thought that every body knew that that was from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Sokath, his eyes uncovered!" with Admiral Han Solo and Lieutenant Adama. &qu...

Pronounce it however you choose, my friends... Oh that's a given. We pronounce a lot of things how we choose. :) Well, despite what people say about Texas (and they say a LOT :mrgreen:), Texans have no monopoly on peculiar pronunciation.

The only thing worth growing them for is the part above the ground.

With some careful aging, they make for fine editorial comments at political rallies...

Beet the system!

(I have the teeshirt! My ex has low beet tolerance but a droll sense of humor.)

Chrome sits and spins; I gave up on it.
