Thanks for the great pics, “Anthony C!” Arriving in Europe, Mach Matsuo, Shu’s Crew Chief … Hi-Diddily-Ho! (Ned Flanders not included). He’s awfully large – I mean, a giant chunk of metal is nice … but the iconic Datsun 240Z is not a large car … Presuming Shu is a Typical Le Mans race car, […]

Try to keep your TV watching to less than 11-hours … don’t forget to eat some food, drink and take several short naps. I predict an AFC West Team will win (or a team that was once in the AFC West). Or if want to place bets on nearly everything.

What kind of American English do youse speak? You can take the quiz version at the NY Times. Or the interactive map of answers to about 100 different words/phrases at the NC State site.
