Proudly delivering empty promises and lackluster results, since 1960.
Yeah, at least the original Weeping Angels didn't create huge waves.

Go the rest of my life without another season of 'Pushing Daisies'?

I'm surprised to see no follow-up "my instant pot" jokes.

I'm willing to bet automobile dealers were burdened with whatever emotive baggage average citizens had re: cart, wagon & buggy dealers! Lol

If there's one thing you can say for sure about 'American attitude' — even before the founding — it's that a good chunk of them are cynical, sarcastic SOBs. 🫤

I would humbly suggest that you spend whatever it takes to add another animation, where your mechanical replacement pulls the blanket over her head, then farts.

Especially like how the AI took artistic (or maybe autistic?) license with the spelling of 'free'...adding or deleting the letter 'e' — perhaps multiple times — seemingly at random.

Sorry, but I'm afraid that horse has left the kibbutz.

Actually, in Ford's case the 'next big thing' *was* physical stores... he had to build a nationwide network of dealerships.

Henry's people scoured the USA, looking for 2 basic categories of potential dealers:

a) car nerds with money + big dreams
b) blacksmiths with ambition and few competitors

Depends on which type of 'packing peanut' we're talking about.

A) Styrofoam — Rigid; impervious to water; breaks apart in tiny pieces. Pretty much indigestible, thus harmless.

B) Cornstarch — Soft & squeezable; dissolves in water. May contain toxins (e.g.: arsenic) to deter insects & vermin.

Y'know, personally — fuck Condoleezza Rice and her party line BS. She knows better.

It was bad enough when she was Dubya's 'genius' shill with the shit-eating grin, but it's worse with Hoover slush funds subsidizing her life as an after-dinner-speaking grifter...like a black, female Gerald Ford.

Those 'boring, regular men' very well know who & what they are.

>> At Mar-A-Lago, I suspect it would be egg noodles with ketchup.

Henry Hill made a lot of dubious claims but having survived several tries at eating midwestern 'Eye-talian food' myself, I'm sure he really said something like this. :-)

'Family style?' I'm thinking buffet, with a 'Make your own Sundae' station.

But I'd bet a close second choice is the TX Roadhouse set up... you know, 2 inches of discarded peanut shells on the floor with an occasional floor show of underpaid servers 'Boot Scootin' Boogie' dancing between tables.

Frankly, that's a better ratio than I would've guessed given their long-term lead on being the squeaky wheels, iykwim.

Oh, sure, the neon is a nice touch and it looks great on the wall. But how do you deliver a 3D devotional from AI video?

The Vatican — not to forget folks like Picasso and Warhol — will tell you: tangibles (relics, etc.) are where the money is.
