JMM, these planes were put into storage; the pilots didn't just land them there and walk away. Any fuel or oil was drained.

Croccydile's use of the term tone mapping was not incorrect. And you can create an HDR image without it bringing attention to itself the way these do, which is how I prefer it. Many of these just end up look posterized. It's distracting from the subject matter.

I'm an alcoholic. I shouldn't have to wait in line at the liquor store.

... one of the strangest police investigation*s* ...

She's adorable.

BTW, why do women wave at their faces to make emotions go away?

Yeah, but this guy did it in pink pants. Something to be said for that.

"The test data was meaningless, but the breakthrough eventually led to the formation of the internet, but there were plenty of other milestones."

"Kellogg’s became the go-to pick for breakfast cereal and your great-grandfather abandoned his beloved Post Grape-Nuts."

Start the "socialist medicine" rants in 3 2 1 ...

I bring it up only because it's the second time I've seen it today: Why on earth do people think "worst comes to worst" makes any sense at all?

"Would you call up the dealership and order two Fords Mustang, Nicholas?"

I'm sure he wouldn't since "Mustang" is the noun and Ford is the adjective (a noun acting as an adjective, to be more precise). In "Burrito Supreme," "Burrito" is the noun and is therefore the correct word to be pluralized.

Incidentally, having an adjective follow a noun is rare in English, but it does happen. Other examples:

attorneys general
courts martial
poets laureate
heirs apparent

Question is, who stole that I from before that E?

Oh, it's just hiding ...

What a difference a single R can make.
