Roddick and Decker Fleeing $3.6M Spread {Housingwatch}

Oct 19th 2010 10:30AM The kitchen is poorly designed and poorly executed. The refrigerator is on the opposite wall from the sink, separated by the center island. The cooktop is a cheap drop-in unit with minimal cooking power. There is no vent hood over the cooktop. If there is a second ("vegetable") sink it is not visible in the photo, which means it is in an inconvenient location. (I think there is none.) There is only one dishwasher. There are very few electric outlets.

Rusty Aston Martin Sells for £206,000 at Auction {Luxist}

Sep 16th 2010 10:26AM You're absolutely right, Don. Suppose the restoration to 99 point condition takes one year and costs 6,000 man hours at $100 per hour. That raises the investment total to $919K. Even if it just brings $1.2 million at auction, that's a profit of 30% in one year. Alternatively, the super-rich owner could simply keep it and own one of the most highly prized collector cars in history. There are lots worse ways for a rich guy to spend his money.

Leaked Memo: Don't Call It Chevy. It's Chevrolet. {AOL Autos - Marketing}

Then they will have three frongs on lily pads, intoning
"Chev" ... "Ro" ... "Lay"

Ogilvy Goes Great Distance to Shoot 65 {Fanhouse Golf Blog}

Mar 21st 2010 12:09AM I've read some strange "made the cut" stories in 50 years of following golf, but this is right at the top of my list.

Poor Test Score Does Not Embody Tebow {Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog}

Mar 14th 2010 2:09PM Nice going, Fanhouse. You sure called out the loonies with this one.

Christina Aguilera In West Hollywood, Estate of the Day {Luxist}

Jan 28th 2009 6:39AM "the home is not family friendly, which may be why she is selling and why the home is lingering on the market." Not family friendly? That home is BEAUTIFUL. Lose the kids; keep the house. ;-)

Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #1: Answer please! {Gadling}

Jun 6th 2008 6:42AM Heather, I'm sorry your passengers disappoint you with their disinterest in your beverages, but perhaps it isn't flight attendants that get a bad rap, it's airlines, and the whole business of air travel. And can you claim with a straight face that they don't deserve it nowadays?

When I used to fly, I always knew that there would be an offer of beverages; often food, too, in days gone by. I always knew in advance whether I wanted something, and if I didn't want any, I might be asleep, or listing to music on my headphones with my eyes closed. I had a simple solution -- I carried one of those hotel room "Do Not Disturb" doorknob hangers, and if I wanted to keep to myself and solitude, I stuck the sign in a prominent position.

OTOH, if you approach a passenger who you think might want something, wouldn't there be a more effective way to ask than you described? Wouldn't it work better to tap lightly on his arm to get his attention, then wait a few seconds until he responded. That way, he'd know you were talking to him, and you'd only have to ask the question once. The initial contact would take a few seconds longer, but the total conversation would be a LOT quicker.

The Raciest Ads on the Web {Switched}

Oct 31st 2007 11:10AM I am constantly amazed by the density of humor-impairment rampant on the Internet. Look at Eleanor's "racist" comment. At the end is a little icon showing a tongue sticking out like this -- :P

And then we have about four dozen follow-ups telling Eleanor she ought to pay attention and learn to spell. HELLLLLOOOOO...maybe you guys ought to pay attention...or take your humor pills first thing in the morning.
