— Open Blogger Well now isnÂ’t this interesting . . . we have been informed that since returning to MSNBC, Keith Olbermann has become cogent and relevant. Well, actually thatÂ’s not what we were told but if that really happened CSPAN would probably be covering such an epic moment of MSNBC sanity. What we were really told by our East Coaster informant is that Mr. Olbermann has been hissing and spitting and is on his game.
Keith Olbermann being, “on his game” - what in the name of novus seclorum does that exactly mean? Before I answer that, let me proceed with the following question: Did I just say novus seclorum, really? Wow, that’s odd because injecting Latin for no other reason than to inject it is kinda weird. Weird it is but weird is entirely germane when discussing MSNBC and actually, required when discussing Mr. Olbermann.
OK, so as I was saying, Mr. Olbermann has been, “on his game” which means his Wankel Rotary (see animated schematic below) brain is running rich - just like old times and what his nutroot followers desire. And of course since coming back full time, after being suspended, Mr. Olbermann has lost nearly 500,000 viewers – this I would imagine (PETA’s imprimatur notwithstanding) would be what the industry refers to as a, “dead cat bounce.”
And to think, Mr. Olbermann didnÂ’t even have to brandish his Cornell University diploma live on-air to regain his status as a histrionic clown imitating a histrionic clown. Now thatÂ’s progress!

"The one thing nobody explained to me was how they sealed the end of the rotors (the turquoise part) so they didn't leak but also didn't create a lot of friction."
They never really did, that's why you don't see Wankel engines anymore.

My Mom hung a stuffed set of The Seven Dwarfs dolls around the ceiling of my bedroom when I was a kid. They terrified me for years. I thought they'd come alive in the middle of the night and come down and kill me and eat me.I tried to tell her about it but I guess something got lost somewhere.
When I told her about it in my twenties she was horrified by the realization that what she thought were cute little dolls actually scared the shit out of me every night for several years.

Conversely--What was Very Cool about a lot of the late 60s-early 70s muscle cars was that they looked bland and could do wheelies in the parking lot before tearing ass all over the place

< You mentioned Trans Am. Growing up my pops bought a 79 Trans Am with a 400 engine, hurst shifter, louvred back window deck, real air-intake. It was a 4 speed with a low gear ratio. 0-60 in a flash baby. And to boot, it had a fricking built in CB.

Teddy Ruxpin. He moved his eyes and mouth along with the specially coded cassettes you stuffed in his back.
And if you modified regular, non-Teddy Ruxpin tapes and played them in him, sometimes the music would accidentally resemble the motor control data enough to give him a creepy little twitch. My little sister probably still has nightmares about that.

It's just carefully-made mild steel floating on a spring riding on chrome. Oil is injected into the engine (or mixed with the gas) to help reduce wear. The eccentric shaft keeps the tips near to the surfaces of the "chamber" so the seals don't move very far.
If you abuse the engine (don't maintain it, spend all your time at low rpm (YES, LOW), overheat it, etc), it probably won't last over 100k. On the other hand, anything abused doesn't tend to work very well.
If you take care of it, it lasts a lot longer. And when something goes wrong, dude, it's got a handful of moving parts, there's nothing easier to rebuild.
The prime reason no one but Mazda, Polaris, and some aircraft engine makers use it is because people who buy F150s and Corollas don't need one. The engine takes a little more hand-work at the factory level and they don't have the experience - the benefits are really only there for the enthusiast, and, frankly, driving enthusiasts are kind of lucky to get anything these days.
I sure hope Mazda does make a new RX-7 - they asked the design team to shave 100kg off the RX-8... which is nuts because the RX-8 was designed to be super-light, it only weighs barely 2900 lbs. Which is nothing even for a compact sedan (it has 4 doors and full-size back seats - it's a sedan).
I was hoping for a turbo RX-8, too. (sigh)

David Zucker said so himself on the commentary track for 'An American Carol'..

Yeah, I consider it an unofficial prequel to TOS.

John Candy is dead
Leslie Nielsen is dead
John Belushi is dead
Chris Farley is dead
But yet Will Farell and Jimmy Fallon live on? There is no justice in this world sometimes.

Whoa! Should've read up, not down.
So we simultaneously find out that he's dead and he was a liberal. What to do, what to do?

Look at it this way.. He wasn't such a liberal that he would shun David Zucker..
He appeared in the conservative movie, An American Carrol, because Zucker was directing it..
LN wasn't a complete dick about it.. So there's that.

If it's true he was a liberal, he wasn't such a liberal that the general public even knew about it. Hell, a lot of us are only finding out now. Nielsen did just what all the great comedians have done: He brought a lot of laughter to millions of people while keeping his politics to himself.

God bless one of the last practitioners of non-political comedy. Airplane! is his Magnum Opus. Don't call me Shirley.

Andy, is "hoser" a slur or not? I've gotten mixed signals
