I learned that I'm curious whether a "How to pronounce your nation name" thread would be very popular or not. I wonder how many people here know anything about phonetic transcription...

Oh they just all sit on the wrong side of the car and drive on the wrong side of the road. It's like watching normal people drive in a mirror.

A real man is not an @$$hole to others. It's that simple.

Well, I've a personal code of manhood that is a little bit more complex than that.

However, no part of that little handbook of mine, says anything about how one ought to sit or dress, or what's "girly".

Except for the rule about unbuttoning suit jackets when sitting down.

Paint Shop Pro mostly. I won't lie, it started as a Ford Focus sedan, but every single line was replaced except the wheels.

I'm especially fond of the bottom one, it's supposed to be basically like a Honda CRX in concept, and weighs under a ton... and comes in a version with AWD and 280hp/237lbft. :twisted:
