Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

See, I could understand someone not understand gyp being offensive. In fact, I bet most people would even spell it gip. I'm not even sure gypsies to the general populace means anything other than tambourines, skirts with coins, move around a lot.

Jew as a verb though? I don't buy. Don't even get me started on the different kinds of rigging to be done.

I'd have loved to sit in on that jury voir dire.

tommy, it is a measure of work. A foot pound is the amount of energy requred to move a one lb object one foot. For torque, it is one lb on a one foot lever, so yeah. Multiply lever length by the force. My brain is failing. I actually had to google to kick start it.

I think my water is coming back.

Either that or my toilet is about to explode. And that would be GROSS.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So my next question is, can I approximate force in the range of 10-15 ft-lbs? Or should I buy a torque wrench? I figure I can just pull on the wrench with force equivelent to the weight of a bag of cat litter....

Depends on what you want to breakfix. Me? I'd go for the wrench. My physics education bears little resemblance to reality. Which is how I squashed my unsquashable structure (good thing I'm not an engineer) and how 180lbs of me jumping on the tire iron can't loosen a lug nut.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

WooHoo! Only three more minutes until I can start the hour countdown!

Running water is a beautiful thing. Even if it is a little rusty.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You could almost hear her attorney whimper.

What was her explanation of what it meant?
