Not me. Of course he could be standing next to me right now and I wouldn't have a clue who he was.

I'm thinking about heading to DC for the Easter weekend. Any suggestions on hotels?

For real? Welcome Back Kotter was one of my favorites. TVLand should get it's shot together and put the show in the programming schedule. As for Kaplan these days, he does color commentary on one of those poker shows.

Well then I guess this is all going above my head. I'm not sure what it is your looking for.

The shortest possible answer would be that I still believe in free enterprise.

And you believe in the "market economy" because...................... My point being that GM is not alone in this shit. Look at some of the huge SUV's and trucks, as well as the high horsepower cars by Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, BMW, Acura, Infiniti, Chrysler, Mercedes, Jaguar, Range Rover..... Sure, you can give credit to companies like Toyota for stepping it up and building more environmentally friendly cars, but they are far from abandoning the higher profit larger vehicle market, If anything they continue to increase models in that line. As long as there are the rich and the ever growing wannabe "pop culture" rich, as well as those that don't really care about the price of gas looking for these types of vehicles they (and I mean all of them) will continue to turn out the product. We can and should expect companies like GM to kick it in high gear and increase the number of higher mileage and alternative fuel models. But in doing that should we expect GM to abandon a money making source and surrender it to the competition that has no plans to stop production of the same type of vehicles? Just my opinions.

Hosted by...... "What?...., Where?.......Who?"...

Hey, that could be a new reality series. "Surviving Gabe"

I often wonder if Gabe Kaplan would ever stand a chance with a chick like Jessica Alba?

Ha! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture. Fish is probably in the bathroom.

Damn dude, I thought you was putting us on. There really is a "Gabe" thread. Jim, did I ever tell you about my Uncle Morty?

Up you nose with a rubber hose!

For the record, I got an oil change and filled up the tank of my minivan today. The oil change was $40 (I use a high-mileage synthetic blend) and it cost $50 to fill my tank with regular. Gas is around $2.66 today in Lansing. Jim, with all due respect they will keep building them because there is a market for them. GM is no different than Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Bentley, BMW and so on....

I think that says it all. According to the chart further down on the second link you posted, these are not considered "gas guzzlers". I think they're exempt because they're considered trucks.

The Pickle Guys Guss'

I've got nothing against Claussen, they're actually probably one my favorites since I like my pickles cold.

Ha!

Tenderly is the first to come to mind but I could easily name others.

Of course. PM on it's way.

I think Carmela was just noticing the look of disgust on Paulie's face. He was not happy about giving her that money.

I've always had issues with Van Zandt's acting ability. He's almost like a cartoon character.

Agree on The Phil thing. It's only a matter of time. Still, Phil did warn Vito about not giving the money to Carmela. And while in the subject of Vito, hell yes Finn is going to have to tell someone about that soon. I'm really surprised Vito was rubbing the kids arm like that. You would think he would be scared as hell someone would find out. Meadow =

I watched that for the first time over the weekend. The dude is good.

An improvement over last week, no doubt. Still somewhat of a weak episode though. That AJ kid needs to be thrown out a window or something. Silvio proved to himself "some people are better at being number two's". Looks like Paulie definitely has some problems coming his way, as does I'm guessing Vito.
