That was one of the criteria's when I bought a wing. How easy it was to remove and store. No way was I leaving a legit airfoil that can be removed with 4 bolts on my car all the time. Plus I am an asshole, not a douchebag. Wing on the DD not my style.

If the mask is hampering your "moments", I suggest that you wear something that becomes your calling card!! A very long red tie, a pair of Speedos or fishnet vest.. just do something that takes the eye away from your gas mask.. I know it's difficult as that mask can't be ignored but give it a go..

Same. Plus a wing doesn't do me any good for fuel economy (but then again I'm supercharging the car in the future so what do I have to lose).

Good idea!

How about this?

I just have to share this. Friday nights we keep the granddaughters till about 11:00 PM to give their parents a "date night". At supper they were discussing the "four words" that a fellow on TV was so proud that he could remember and repeat back later. The 4 ager said the words.

About 2 hours later, as we were taking the girls home, mrs humfrz turned to the 4 ager that was sitting in the back seat and ask her if she could remember those four words. She responded by saying them exactly right, in order. Then mrs humfrz ask her to say them in reverse order, which she correctly did.

Just sayen -

We usually don't wash or soak rice. It wastes water and we prefer rice sticky. Easier to eat with chopsticks. It never smells bad, and it lasts a few days before we cook it into fried rice if there's any left. Washing rice after cooking is about the same as washing before. As for depth, about an inch. We don't have a rice cooker, but then we only make rice maybe once a week. If we had rice seven days a week, we'd need to wash the hell out of the rice to cut our arsenic levels.

So the video does not impress me. Kind of horrifies me, really. Not the cooking part, the reaction part. Some weird mix of racial stereotypes and melodramatic reactions. The weirdest part is how he makes cracks about white people when the chef is of Indian descent. Is he confused?

Stickiness of the rice has more to do with the variety. I save the rinse water to flush my toilet.

Nigel Ng is a comedian from Malaysia. Uncle Roger is a fairly new character of his.

One of my favorite mice of about 8 years and well over 2 or 3 million clicks lost its left click sensor today. I'm going to take it apart and see if I can put it back where its supposed to be, it fell inside the casing. Back to the 15 year old 1800dpi DeathAdder.

Edit- If anyone is a computer hardware enthusiast like me, the mouse was a Zowie AM-GS. I bought it at launch and have loved it since.

I was never taught to wash rice But I was taught to measure the water with my finger just like he showed. Cheap rice is a bit better when washed though. What I want to know is who the hell makes fried rices with freshly cooked rice?
