You're like someone who went to the moon and left a paperweight on it. Lol.

 

Either too down on herself or too restrained by something resembling narrative logic to "cut loose" with full on Mary Sue?

 

I don't really know if it has a specific term but I have this semi-coherent idealized-alternate-magical-universe version of myself bouncing around in my head.  Crazy super-powers, way smarter than I am IRL, and an epically tragic backstory that loads on insane guilt and grief, various psychological and physical repercussions, and a sisyphean task that may fix it.

 

Seems those character point totals always have to balance...

...delivers candygrams

He wouldn't be the first one to do that.  There are retro-reflective paperweights on the moon already.

It's as if they had ruled out every possible endorsee who's popular with youth, talented, and likable.

This gives me a great idea: Gordon Ramsay IEMs.

Nobody steal it. it's going to make me wealthy.

Daimler had a lot more to do with it than you'd think. They aren't the angels they were made out to be. Also taking into consideration when they took over the company the build quality (especially the interiors) where significantly better on the models designed by the original Chrysler and it all went down hill for 7+ years under their leadership. It was never a "union of equals". Simply a takeover.

Etymotic Research presents Jerry Springer IEMs - for those times you need extreme isolation.

Some of the automaker mergers over the years have been really bizarre - and Chrysler has been involved in more than one of them. I always thought Mercedes + Chrysler was weird, and Fiat + Chrysler is even worse. Chrysler + AMC made some sense, especially since both had a long history of gov't contracts. But there is so much inter-breeding going on between all the automakers that it's really hard to keep track of all the partnerships and co-development agreements. As a US taxpayer, what really torques me is the gov't bailout money that has been spent on the US automakers. I'm not an economist, and I'm sure I have a very narrow view of the whole deal - but I'm pretty darn tired of being expected to foot the bill for b-b-b-billion dollar commercial failures.

There's nothing new there billy. Its all about keeping the rich, rich and not allowing them to fail, even when they are at fault. What really needs to happen is accountability. Those making these mistakes/illegal transactions need serious jail-time. But the funny part is these guys get a slap on the wrist and instead get raises for their crimes.

You too?! LOL

I ordered a Clip Zip with a 64GB microSD... hope it all works out... Right now listening to CDs... I need my MP3s!!!

There's a reason that they're called too big to fail. Thousands of jobs depend on them in both plants and dealerships around the country. If these people get laid off, you'll end up footing that bill for them to go on unemployment,welfare, etc. at least through bailouts there is a possibility of the taxpayer being paid back.

Lee, illegal financial transactions are really rampant in the financial industry, and are partly because of the repeal of the Glas-Steigel act. They're the people you should be going after, not so much the auto industry.

 

Simon Cowell headphones?  I'd expect them to denigrate my taste in music or something.  Who wants that?  X-factor headphones don't sound too good either.  Is it supposed to sound worse and worse over time but dare you to keep listening?  Is there going to be some kind of online leaderboard of who listens to them the longest and at the crappiest setting?

 

I actually think that they look pretty cool, at least in isolation, but I'm imagining they look awful when worn.  Maybe they'd blend in more if we fast forwarded to some sort of sci-fi setting.
