Re-watching Breaking Bad, and I inexplicably want to buy both a Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger. My dream as a kid was to own the General Lee, but there's no way I'd drive a car with the stars and bars on it. So I thought maybe it would be awesome to get a red Dodge Challenger, with the Stars and Stripes on top, with block lettering "General Grant" or even better "General Sherman" on the roof near the flag.

Where you live, I'd be really ******* careful with that. Sherman was a cussword at my elementary school to some kids.

Make it blue (army blue shade 451) and you have a great idea.

Yes - make it blue and you're golden.

Instead of having to towel off after a shower or bath, how would it be to have an array of industrial-strength fans to blow the water off? It would reduce the need to launder so many towels.

Yeah, something like a car wash... that would save time getting ready for work in the morning.

It gets chilly doing it that way. Water evaporating from our skin cools us.

There have been times when I have either biked to work, or used the workout room and forgot to bring a towel. Standing there air drying is no fun, and is an all-body chill.

Good input. Maybe it would be best for the summer months. Maybe there needs to be some kind of heating element involved.

One of my favorite things to see in basketball is when someone drives to the rim and yells "AND ONE!" as he misses the shot.

Taiwan should be it's own country. The "People's" Republic of China are a bunch of bullies, crybabies, and fascists. Nixon was a coward.

Without wanting to trivialize a tragedy, when I heard about that poor woman (since deceased, apparently) who was partially sucked out the window of a Southwest jet, the first thing I thought of was Goldfinger. The second thing I thought of was to continue my habit of always staying buckled up in flight, and running as quickly as possible on the rare occasion I have to visit the head.

Apparently the woman wasn't completely sucked out the window. But a passenger did die on that flight. It may be from an heart attack from seeing the woman almost sucked out the window.

That would be a very terrifying experience. I fly enough that I’ve experienced a lot, but one of the most interesting was on a flight from Ft lauderdale to Atlanta, there was a guy that had a heart attack. They found a nurse on the plane that helped but the plane, which was already almost to Atlanta made an emergency descent. The pilot literally pointed the plane down more than usual and we dropped fairly fast. We made a sharp turn to come around and land into the wind and I remember the force of the turn made me nauseous we turned so fast.

The woman who died was hit by shrapnel from the exploding engine, but was not the one that almost got sucked out the window.
