Yeah, I liked Kate Jackson too, although I must admit to having the Farrah Fawcett poster, too. Of course, I also have this on my desktop: Because I am a car guy, and like Ford Mustangs of all types, of course.

If I had a spare 28 days in my life, that sounds like it would be a fun challenge to take. Drop out of sight. Get away from the internet and people. Catch up on my reading and my sleep. I won't go so far as to say I could win, but I think I would have a good shot at it.

Nope, Tom Clancy hasn't written a book in a few years now... What type of firearm did he purchase? Federal law allows the purchase of long guns by people who are residents of other states, so long as the person is legally allowed to purchase and own the firearm in that state. Our store has a binder with a "quick list" of the state regs of each state. There are half a dozen or so "usual suspects" that makes it impossible to sell any firearm, but I don't recall Virginia being one of them. Of course, i don't know what the law in Maine is.

VOTE FOR PEDRO!

I like the things Alton Brown does. For me, though, a grilled cheese, or griddled cheese, if you prefer, is something that is simple, fast, and tasty. While what he did sounds good, it is neither simple nor fast.

I would beg to differ. While I am not what I would call a fan of the band as a whole, they have done plenty of original music. With rare exception, I've never had a problem with covers, so long as artists attempt to do something other than just mimic the original. From my perspective, covering a song is a high form of praise. Yet, if an artist or band simply attempts to re-do the original, then as an artist, they aren't really doing anything worthy of listening to instead of the original. Sure, opinions may and will vary on this, though.

I like 'em both. Been known to listen to them back to back.

I don't think I'll ever forget the time my First Sergeant was talking about a Master Sergeant in our unit. "He provided far side security for Moses at the Red Sea."

Now, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but if California were to secede, wouldn't that void a number of agreements giving California priority regarding water, such as that from the Colorado? If that were to happen, would that severely hamper California's agriculture industry, among other things? Would many of their products then be considered imports and subject to tariffs? Would manufacturers decide to not export things like motor vehicles, or at least price them accordingly, since their CARB standards are burdensome to manufacturers?

Yes it is. It is also entirely possible that the person who came up with it is a Marine. I work with a couple, one prior service, and one currently in the Marine Reserve. It is a longstanding joke.

The only thing I do in this world passably well right handed is shoot. And it doesn't look like she's sweeping so much as clearing.

A friend of mine in high school drove one.

Can't you give a guy a warning? Had to clean my monitor off. Of course, after a warning, you'd make everyone shiver with antici... ...pation.

It is hands down my favorite movie, and you're absolutely right that Max was the perfect counterpart for Professor Fate! Of course, then there's Maggie DoBois

Lady Gaga is her stage name, not her real name. Her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. I am not a fan and don't really care for her music, but she does have an amazing voice and is quite talented. If you've never seen it, she was the singer who did tribute to Julie Andrews and the Sound of the Music at the Academy Awards in 2015, and impressed Julie Andrews herself, as well as plenty of others, in so doing. I can only imagine what she will do during the half time show, though. As for the game itself, I don't have a dog in the fight either. I doubt I will be watching, but I'll rooting for Atlanta. I've just never been able to get behind the Patriots. I was secretly hoping that they and the Steelers would both lose, but I suppose in the end, I grudgingly preferred the Patriots. I know far too many annoying Steelers fans, including many who are otherwise good friends of mine.

Flat, although I'd love to give one of the "Fastback" types a try.

The NFL running back? I was a freshman his senior year of high school at Columbus South High. Nice guy, with AMAZING leaping ability. He was better known for basketball and track in high school. Of course, we didn't have much of a football team. I was good friends with his cousin throughout high school.

Usually when my thoughts are idling, not much creative happens.

You mean Stumpy?

Most memorable character from the big screen, Professor Fate from The Great Race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ZnWc1B7W4

Add me to the list of Blues fans. Old Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Electric Blues, Blues based rock, etc... The biggest reason I couldn't get into the "shredder movement" when rock guitar went that direction, was because of my love of the Blues. I've said many times, if the music doesn't make you feel something, it isn't being done right.

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors is one of the best military history books I've read. Possibly the best. Amazing the levels of courage. There's a reason I refer to October 25th as Underdog Day: Battle of Agincourt, 1415 Battle of Balaclava, 1854 Battle Off Samar, 1945 Survivors of the Johnston reported a Japanese officer aboard one ship saluting as she sank. High praise from them.

WOW!!! Amazing work, again!

I never fail to think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_fq4RQgwuA

Beat me to it.
