Not 10 minutes before reading this, I heard something on the radio about how fundraisers know, do NOT bring up all the hundreds or thousands of people affected by XYZ. Focus instead on the individual's story. Hundreds of Californians are a statistic. Showing that little dog dying or making it...
I hear you. :eek: I once bought a used car when my trusty VW Rabbit finally bit the dust. Turns out the year my car came out was the year the engineers made 3 different engine mods, so you couldn't just tell the auto store place, "I need a macerated thingadingy for a 198? MajorBrand." You...

Does anyone here have the editing chops to put together a YouTube video about the Elio and the petition? That might be a way to get the word out.
I'd want to know how he got ahold of such a powerful weapon without some training in its use. I'd like to know why he thought he was so invulnerable as to try that without testing the penetration power first. Mythbusters always tested out things on Buster before trying it themselves.
You also run into what I call the "Water Rights Problem." Presumably the contract to provide Elio the Festiva engines would be for X engines per year at Y price, and a terminate-at-will clause; OR; provide X engines at Y price for Z number of years, contract to be renegotiated at the end of the...
Simply put, why should Ford be reasonable about selling an engine to a competitor? It's quite possible that the amount that Ford would ask per unit would price the final auto SIGNIFICANTLY higher than $8,000. Perhaps as much as $10,000 per car, since Elio would be buying only a small fraction...
Here is **THE** Movie Geek geek movie:
5-25-77
If you don't know that date, check your geek creds at the box office and sit in the back of the theater.
I remember being in business meetings where you could always identify a fellow fan by the sudden interjection of "Always with the negative waves, man!"
After seeing the movie, my older brother told me that Don Rickles originally wasn't supposed to survive when they were in the village and his...
It's not that! The problem is how the recruits today couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Nothing like when you and I were serving, right?
(For the record, I never served. I just listened to too many vets talk about what it was like when they first signed up.)
Thanks for posting this. My ex didn't like him because she doesn't like insult comedy. I liked him because everything was so extreme and kept coming at such a pace (kinda like with early Robin Williams) that you couldn't help but laugh. Will always remember him as Crapgame in "Kelly's Heroes".
