    Yes, believe it or not. And trust me, I totally understand your surprise. It's like seeing a Yugo or an 80's Chrysler K-car that still runs. You don't know whether to laugh or give a restrained golf-clap. ;)

    It's a car that was "popular" in the late 90s early 00s. Seriously, I might have seen a dozen in my lifetime. A women I worked with bought a new one and we didn't believe it was a real car until she showed us.

    Used to see those all the time. Or the "LeCar," remember those? The Daewoo was in and out like those slap bracelets that would lacerate your wrist if you put them on too hard.

    They banned them when I was in school. The metal piece inside would slice your hand off if the covering was removed. I imagine they've fixed that now though.

    I pulled a muscle -- specifically the muscle under my left armpit close to my left man-nip and holy shit does it feel sore. >:[

    That's what happens when you don't stretch before trying to hit Shift+Y with one hand.

    It could be done if the bones can be slipped from the fin's flesh, technically speaking...:D

    "All right, if the applicant is young, tell him he's too young. Old, too old. Fat, too fat. If the applicant then waits for three days without food, shelter, or encouragement he may then enter and begin his training."
    -Fight Club

    All right, if it's early, it's too early; if it's late, it's too late. If you haven't eaten, you need to first; if you have, you're too full. If neither of you have been drinking, you should have a beer first; if you have, you're too drunk. If the linens haven't been washed recently, they're too dirty; if they have, you don't want to mess them up. If the applicant waits for three or more days without encouragement, ask why they're suddenly so interested; if they persist, why they're always bothering you about it.

    Above all, under no circumstances should they be admitted.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the BBC. I think it is a great institution, but its presumption of guilt irritates me beyond belief.

    I am unsure if Americans are aware of TV Licencing in the UK. Essentially the airwaves are not free, and the BBC is a tax on TV ownership. You are allowed to own a TV, but if you use it to watch TV, then you are liable to pay the TV License Fee. I am happy about this, because it means we get quality programming that must achieve certain requirements in terms of its content (education, entertainment, objectivity, impartiality etc), and importantly, does not have inane adverts interrupting your viewing.

    However, I unplugged my TV since I rarely watch it. And here comes the presumption of guilt; I get countless letters reminding me to buy a TV licence and threatening enforcement if I don't. I can log onto the BBC website and inform that I do not watch TV, but fuck them. Should I also drop in my local Police station and inform that I haven't robbed or murdered anyone?

    These constant letters are tantamount to harassment.

    Out flat doesn't have a functioning link to the aerial, so we didn't a TV licence. We watch streaming services, and naturally we stopped playing iPlayer when they started charging for that too.

    Hoopleheads, that's a new one. You should add that to the Differences in... thread.
