Old Pontiac ad with Japanese accent

1. Comparing those two cars?  Apples and oranges.
2. There is a special place in karmic purgatory for Asian actors who play with such horrible accents.  They are accompanied by Arab actors who play terrorists.

I'm going to Austin!!!

This came as a complete surprise.  My buddy called today and told me that he got us two tickets to the GP.  I am so excited.


Canada to Panama in 10 days in a Hyundai Tiburon

I am at a loss as to where to go on vacation next year.  The choices are Trans-Siberian railroad, Mongolia, Japan GP, Mexican resort, Big Island of Hawaii, Manhattan, Arctic Ocean in Alaska, or Central America.  With my new job, I can't and don't want to take too long of a vacation (or too many), so I have to make my one trip count.

While researching Central America, I came upon this guy, who is my new hero.

I'm about to finish this classic.  Can't wait to see the movie.
