Wife and I still go every valentines day. Started as a joke since they do the place up but everyone is so sweet and we’ve now got kids who wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

Personally, id’a said White Castle but maybe that’s just a Midwest thing.

I wish I had more upvotes for the random Yankovic!

Probably tastes like it too.

Question asked and answered I’d say.

Still the best site on the internet, you can do anything there..

Thanks for the reply. I kinda get some of the concern with the proposed bans, I do think there has been some misguided attempts. From a non-gun owner’s perspective though, I’ve never really thought they seemed fatal to the hobby, just an annoyance more or less and the sort of thing that with sane legislation would work itself out over time. I mean, I’m a car guy but I’ve made peace with the fact that we won’t see popup headlights ever again..

Same with the handgun thing, but like regulations on other things, over time effectivity will win out and sensibility may be found. Maybe I’m too hopeful though.

Appreciate the response..

back in high school I stuck mine in a hard plastic card case. Wherever it is now that I lost it, should at least be in good shape almost 30 years later.

serious question, why does it hurt? I'm not a gun owner but I don't see much that the left is doing that is actually endangering your rights. I do see a lot of fearmongering from the right but as far as I can tell it's entirely bloviating. I mean, the bluest of blue areas still have extremely liberal gun laws and what I see being proposed from the left is more or less common sense reforms. Obviously there are outliers but I don't see that agenda having much success. In fact, I have some very strong gun rights friends who are entirely and proudly progressive.

as a dad, in the market for a station wagon, there really isn't anything as cool anymore. I still want a roadmaster (in good condition) so bad, nothing better than a huge, wood paneled boat powered by an LT1.

anyone have a good estimate for how long it will take for these ads to become more numerous than actual posts, at least in terms of visibility. I've got to imagine the impact is going to be spectacular since they are doing this desperate IPO as their fall from grace accelerates.

it drives me nuts, I've got formerly lefty friends who drifted right due to disillusionment with their pet issue. one began their drift via the antivax movement, their personal grudge against the medical system has them now embracing every far right conspiracy out there. so yeah, I believe folks find what they seek, and those who are doing the pulling have figured out the exact temperature of smoke to blow up people's asses.
