  1. if it is a Rolex there are certain issues/conditions to be aware of when coming into US. I can't remember all of them and they may have changed but you need to do some quick research to avoid issues.
  2. Not sure whether this is lazy or something else. At work the small breakrooms have rolls of paper towels on a vertical bar mounted on a piece of wood. Multiple times I have found the roll on the bar empty but someone opened a new roll and just set it on the counter next to the empty one. Did they save 2 seconds by not throwing away the old one?
  3. I'l add the original Gone in 60 Seconds because they filmed parts of it without asking for permission. Just went out on early weekend mornings and hit the accelerator.
  4. I did that exact line on the "other" forum a while back. Very solid movie and the director told the stunt driver he did not want to see any brake lights during chase scenes. You worried about saving your own skin? Yeah, I am. It covers my body.
  5. For some reason I thought UFC was going to a system where you were weighed frequently and had to be within a certain percentage to fight in order to eliminate the drastic weight cuts.
  6. Good point - I hated waiting 8 hours to see who some of them were but understand your point
  7. Way to late to fix but it would have been a good idea to show the names of the vets they interviewed before some of the episodes.
  8. Interesting links but edited to remove since it also had other junk.. Most expensive series ever produced at the time.. never knew the Bastogne scenes were filmed indoors with paper snow
  9. "patented" used in sports. As in "he lead his patented 4th quarter comeback...."
  10. There have been a few odd sponsors in the last few years - mainly on the lower tier. Barbasol, Viking, Sanderson Farms come to mind.
  11. Username checks out
  12. Athletes who give interviews and use "You know" a minimum of twenty times. What causes this - I don't remember hearing it until about 15 years ago.
  13. Half of Surly is now pm'ing you with their vacation plans
  14. It sounded like they brought back the Plumbers - shades of Nixon again.
  15. Beer company stock going up....
  16. yeah we somehow rented about 20 motel rooms at something like a Ramada Inn and had trash cans of beer in parking lot. Got home about 6am
  17. Silent Coup was an interesting book/theory. The real surprise was how bad the burglars were. IIRC they were caught becuase they taped over the door lock. Frank Wills, the guard, saw it and removed the tape. They came back and did it again so when he saw it a second time he called the cops. First - if you need to tape a door like during burglary then WTH. Second - you find the tape missing and decide to continue. And third - if IIRC they didn't tape the lock on the edge but something instead ran the tape horizontally from back to front. All that was missing was a neon sign saying 'Bad guys this way"
  18. Anyone else concerend about the north and south poles swapping ends?
  19. People who use my seatback as a pull up bar to get in and out of their seat.... If you can't get into a seat without hanging your entire body off of mine than start working out
  20. Rogers is just going to kill the open market... Guessing 32-35 million plus per year
  21. Should have hit the exit as soon as he saw the lighter....
  22. we need some more details on this keg launch
  23. Ours were white - Mom still has them as a period correct bookcase item... The Huntsville library will take any books from an estate but not these.
  24. Dominos thin crust??? I got one of those and found out you have to ask for a traditional cut. Hate it when people decide to change the accepted rules and don't ask if you agree. Had some Einstein chef at a Hilton Garden decide I wanted a batch of wheat germ in my pancakes. Um no and next time you want to do something outrageously strange - ask me first...
  25. Research Nixon - especially the last days before a form of donation reporting became required. IIRC they had safes full of cash just lying around. Separate from that they had criminals operating break ins from offices in the White House
