We should get better mileage in this thread.
I thought that was a myth! Or at least I didn't think there was an appreciable difference between 55 and 60.

Half an hour, and I am in burrito land.
I was in burrito land earlier this week. It is a very tasty place.

Weimaraners are SUCH beautiful dogs.
Agreed, but they are just a tad spooky looking too. I think it's the eyes.

Turned out he wasn't on coke. Oops. (eta: some folks did the intervention thing)
What was it??!!
And, how embarassing for the interventionists!
All the buffista babies & kids in costumes are killing me. So freaking cute!
This was me on H'ween.
I went as my friend Johnny Zebra who was supposed to come as the guitarist in my band and, evidently, if he did that another friend was going to come as me. But Johnny Zebra couldn't make it so I didn't get to see what dressing up as me would mean. I'm really curious though.
Behaving like me that night would have meant drinking all the Jack & Gingers and being Inappropriate.

It probably is! I was just speaking for The Man.
Although, for big bulky Hank (1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser), there is a huge difference in mpg between say, 50, and 70. Drops like a stone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What was it??!!
I guess nothing at all. (Just his personality - very social and outgoing, and bad with money.)
But years later he started doing meth....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hmm...maybe I need to go to Chipotle for lunch, and maybe I need to go right now!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But what if what they really want to know is how well you conform and obey authority?
I guess they'll find out.
I'm aslo wary of making assumptions about people's off work habits (which is not what I'm suggesting you're doing at all). There's an underlying assumption here sometimes that because Mr. Jane works at a bar, I'm out partying all the time. To the point where if I come in tired (not shocking since our normal hours are 45, and we usually work over, and then have personal responsibilities), I'm asked if I was out late last night. If I say no, there's a kind of yeah-rightish "Uh huh."
Drives me batshit since I miss out on a lot of stuff being responsible.
