Bombay because I'm a pussy and don't like pine needles.

Hendricks is pretty good. Are you still warming up your meat with a gas grill or have you learned proper BBQ techniques yet, Alex?
- Bryan R. Adams
my favorite gin is whichever one you're mixing with tonic and putting in front of me. I do like Hendricks though. Hey don't forget that twist of lime!

I properly grill my meat properly using gas, which is the only proper method...wait a second this is the wrong thread for a bbqing argument

This one is VERY hard for me. I had no problem picking I, Robot over Reservoir Dogs because it sucked less, but this one I'm stumped. They were both good for different reasons. I even own both. I think I'll go with Lebowski since I watch it more often.

I know that Mini's build quality sucks, but how did that happen? My Mini is 7.5 yo & I never worried about that piece...before.

was driving down the highway, & saw what looked like a carboard piece fly up; well it wasn't cardboard. It's held in by plastic punches not screws. 1 is still on the others are all gone

"The new FAA rules regarding air traffic over the Hudson River go into effect Thursday, separating pilots into three altitude corridors: in the lower two (below 1,300 feet), local commuter planes and sightseeing helicopters would still rely on the "see and avoid" method, but would also be required to tune their radio to a frequency of 123.05; announce their location, description and route; and obey a speed limit of 140 knots or less. Longer flights under the jurisdiction of air traffic controllers will fly above 1,300 feet. But critics say the rules don't go far enough to prevent another crash like the August 8th collision between a small plane and a sightseeing helicopter that claimed nine lives."

"Fleur’s Place is definitely worth the time to go and visit, Christchurch to Moeraki is only 2-3 hours drive depending on the route you take and reservations are recommended especially for dinner. In a way I’m slighty sad that I went to Fleur’s first, as it set an insanely high standard for the rest of my holiday!"
