Today's internet Phrase that Pays: Tubgirl! That one actually rang a bell ... took me a minute to find the article. A great illustration of why it’s so important to broaden your trashy tabloid horizons: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/1079894/from-wet-koala-to-tub-girl-why-you-should-never-g...

I want to know the orientation of the umbrella in the box relative to the up arrow. Either it has no handle, or the weirdest handle, of any umbrella ever. Yeah, I laughed at that myself.

They must have been reviewing their phone billings. Used to be that some of the towns around here would routinely n...

New CSF radiators have been installed. My 996 is once again liquid-cooled. The car is now in the burp-valve, garage-reeks-of-coolant stage of cooling-system repair.
