OT: Sens Lounge: "Pleeease won't you be.....my neighboµr"

You all talk about electric cars, sports cars, high end performance and all that....

All I want is a late 1970s-90s gigantic land yacht with seats more comfortable than your living room couch and a gigantic front hood that feels like you're piloting a boat. And that lovely big car suspensions that felt like you were driving on a cloud. I don't care if it takes half a century to get up to speed...those old cars were the height of comfortable driving.

I am a big indoor dome proponent but man snow games are the exception. Something about them.

They suck watching live. Went to the last Grey Cup in Ottawa and left half way through the 3rd. Too dam cold and the game was garbage.

I hear that. I went to a Packers game at Soldier Field years ago in like January. Snowing and windy. Beers were freezing mid pour. Not fun.

I attended a Calgary versus Edmonton CFL playoff game many years ago. It was so cold that a coffee I spilled froze before hit the ground. So, I know what you mean.

so we are being bombarded with commercials for an air pump that resembles a hand drill...bu#$%e.ca

great commercial.. all the things you can use it for. And a mere $79.99 plus taxes. So say $92

1) PUMP Your VEHICLE TIRE WHEN IT IS DOWN...uhhhh.. IF IT IS DOWN, YOU HAVE A FLAT. who CARES about A PUMP!!! Minor loss in pressure should never occur, unless you have a slow leak. In which case get to a mechanic.

2) a wheelbarrow.. f*** yea. everyone has one. And everyone uses it 2-3 times a day everyday. And even for those few, if the tire is down, a simple hand pump from Walmart, costing $15 will do.

3) bicycle tire.. the pump has a peek pressure of about 35 psi..Most bike tires are 50-125 psi. And the Walmart hand pump is perfect, at $15.

4) soccer ball, football, volleyball, exercise ball... UHHHH, we all have 2-3 dozen and need to pump them daily. We are back to the $15 Walmart sucker.

Are we this bad? are we so stupid that we will buy. Only to have this thing sit in the garage or basement and collect dust.

Why is it that when anyone comes up with a crazy idea, we jump?

those who have bought Generac generators, How many operational hours do you have on these babies? near ZERO!

Do you own a car? Have you ever hit a pot hole? Loss of air happens for reasons other than a slow leak you know. Cold temperatures?

I would never buy one of those things. My neighbor saw I had a tire low on air and offered to pump it up for me with his drill/hand pump. It died after about 30 seconds. I felt bad but what can you do. It would probably be perfect for bicycle tires though, inflatable beds, blow up dolls etc.

Hundreds of Beavers, one of the funniest and most inventive independent movies of the past few years, is free on YouTube with ads.

Basically a live action Tex Avery cartoon, all made by a guy with a few friends in the Minnesota woods for $150k. Really fun.
