'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a completely irrational loyalty to Ford (I've only ever bought Fords, Mercurys and a Lincoln) so I'm rooting for them (and happy they're not needing bailouts).
Oh, my parents finally sold their Taurus and bought another Mercury Grand Marquis (my dad, being taller than me, has had trouble getting in and out of the Taurus). This is their third Marquis. I've owned two Marquis' myself, plus a similar '72 Monterey.
What's creaky voice?
I am stomach growly hungry. bad timing
I can't eat for an hour after I take my morning meds. It's irritating when I'm spending the day at home. No idea how I'll manage it when I have a job to go to.
For those whose breath was bated, the IRA beat the Taliban in The Deadliest Warrior. No, I didn't watch the ep--even the cheerleading I saw by fast forwarding to the end was enough to make me ill.
Random Ford Trivia! Besides Ford, Mercury and Lincoln, what were (they don't exist anymore) the other two divisions of Ford?
Edsel is one of them.
Yep. Point for Team Scola!

I'm rooting for Ford too. I've had an Escort, a Tempo, a Villager (even though it is really a Nissan), and a Windstar and they have all been good cars for the most part. Plus, they have a plant in Kansas City. At least Ford has got themselves a pretty good CEO right.
I can't find a simple description of the creaky voice online (other than laryngealisation), but they talked about it on A Way With Words one time. [link]
The other Ford division is probably more obscure than Edsel. It was the Continental Division, created to build the Continental Mark II, one of the most beautiful post-WWII American cars. The Mark II cost almost as much as a Rolls Royce, but was largely hand-made in small numbers, so Ford still lost money on the car. The Mark II is sometimes described as a Lincoln, but it's not. The Continental division lasted only two or three years (the Mark II was only produced for the '56 and '57 model years).
Scola get another point, because I did, in fact, have some fruit, and it was just the thing.
I do not know what creaky voice is.
Is creaky voice what the Tin Woodsman had?
If so, I suggest: oilcan!
I'm Chevy biased because we had a 1965 Chevy Impala when I was growing up, drove that car cross country twice and it lasted for 13 years without a breakdown. We were sad to sell it.
