Not only cars, but Shelby makes chili fixins too - which is probably about as close as I'll ever get to owning a Cobra.

Your best friend calls you and tells you he/she's really sick? How do you show you care?
The Cobra story I was languishing in English 101, as old Miss Bulterrier sat in front of the class reading us “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. Back then the thought of bringing a gun to school was frowned upon, not for fear of a student going on a rampage as they are so inclined to do t...

How to avoid SAD
Get three pounds of Twizzlers for Christmas and you'll be too pre-occupied with peeling the wrappers and eating them to notice how dark it is outside already for a month and you'll never get that seasonal whatchamacallit thing. posted by Tom Novak who estimates he'll be avoiding SAD until som...

The Most Horrible Food in the World
The most horrible food in the world is of course haggis. Well, maybe blood pudding, which the English eat for breakfast. But what sort of maniac Scot ever decided to stuff a sheep's intestine with...whatever...and eat. I can't go on; it's too horrible to contemplate any further. Posted by Bob...

The Tesla Roadster
Gasoline engines --how 20th Century. The Tesla Roadster uses electric motors on each wheel and still develops over 200 horsepower. These kind of cars were around a long time ago. Anything named "Tesla" has got to be good. Posted by Bob Wallace, who still has a gas engine, dammit.
Looks like a Miata.

Science Fiction Writers Should Rule the World
I’m not a science fiction writer but I am a fan, and have been since a few months before I turned 12. So I’ve been familiar with the genre and the writers for a quite a while, and so have decided that science fiction writers should be in charge of the government. I’m not kidding about that, eith...
Comment all you like. You'll be educating me. I'm just a bad keyboard player, you know a lot more about music than I do. Yeah, I'm Slavic on both sides - I could walk down the street in Prague and no one would think I wasn't supposed to be there.

I don't really have any in depth info. Jazz on the tube has a big library of you tube videos that they send out over email. You can subsrcibe and become part of the community. Sounds like you know your stuff when it comes to jazz.

I really don't know anymore about them. If you go to Jazz on the Tube you could probably find someone who knows. The site was offline for a while but I think it's back now.
