There's an entire north to south strip of states right down the middle of the country where people still say "gals". North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. You forgot a state or two. Most importantly, Minnesota. Let's not forget the gals of western New York sta...

You're suggesting that Nadette, instead of getting into her pants, will turn into them? Sure. She's a talented young woman. Why, I'll bet that just as they get to the club, Nadette will turn into a door. "At the corner of Fifth and Larkin, he walked into large brownstone building ("Thud!&...

I learned to drive in a Saturn (the same one that saved my sorry ass from the Parson's Tornado (mom was driving back then). I love zippy little cars. My first car was a 99 Pontiac Grand Am.

The time came for me to change my car's oil for the first time instead of taking it to the dealer. There is so little room underneath that lifting it is a necessity. Oil should be changed while a car is level, though. My solution? Half-assed carpentry: *Edit Picture: Car on blocks* Yes, the top lev...
