Wait, I want to go back to this Hellman's mayonnaise-on-twinks thing.

Hellboy mayonnaise?

I also got a pair of shoes that are kinda hybrid road/mtb shoes. Not as bulky as mtb, but still with a rubber sole that works on the platform side of the pedal. A standard road shoe, with it's hard plastic sole, would have a tendency to slip off the platform.

Happy birthday America!

We are having a quiet night at home watching "A capital forth"

So far they are doing a good job hiding the giant mud pit more commonly known as the reflecting pool.

Not that Little Richard was ever known as a master of elocution, but lordy was that unintelligible. At least he can still carry a tune.

For me Little Richard falls into the Uncanny Valley.

You need a great book to read for that Kevy. At least if you're up, you can enjoy the time.

For lack of a better place to put this (and not wanting to start a new thread for it):

Settling dispute over book will cost Zephyrhills more than $4,000

You can read the story yourself, but the gist of it is that a guy didn't want to pay $30 plus tax to buy the book for his Mom, so he hired a lawyer and paid the $400 in court filing fees to sue the city (a city in which he lived). The basis of the suit was that the citizens of the city shouldn't have to pay for the book. When he "won" the suit, the city had to lower the cost of the book to just the printing cost of $17.89 (apparently, the decade of the city employees' time to compile the information is not worth anything) plus they (the city) had to pay the $4,000+ in court/attorney fees for the suit.

So, in an effort to save the citizens of the town who chose to purchase the book $14.16 each*, he instead cost the whole town $12,494.50**

What a guy!

* $32.05 ($29.95 + 7% Sales Tax) - $17.89 = $14.16 difference
** $4,052.50 in Attorney Fees + $8,442.00 in lost revenue ($29.95 - $17.89 = $12.06 per book difference * 700 books [assuming all books are sold]) = $12,494.50
