| I take them literally. I usually can't comprehend though the words without a lyric sheet so since my first exposure to any music is usually live in concert through a cheap PA I tend to get into the instrumental component of it and maybe the one chorus line that is sang quite clear. Then I look into ... |

| rather than make complicated aftermeasures [advanced active motor mounts, balance shafts, electronic vibration control et al] for rough-running motors, why not instead start out making a SMOOTH motor? Because only V12s, I6s and flat 6s can be perfectly balanced, all other configurations have an inh... |

| The closest thing to a flash mob I have experienced would be moshing at a concert and I don't enjoy that at all. I suspect I would enjoy a flash mob even less since I would not know to expect it. |

| To be honest I can't think of anything good really good and I didn't buy any new releases this year outside of one of Andy Cairns' acoustic albums and that was mostly a collection of acoustic versions of previously released tracks. looking forward to 2015!! ! |

I like how everything is free of charge in their world. Just walk in to the store and ask what you want and leave.
I don't see anything other then normal toddler behaviour. |

| aside from an extra cylinder, I wonder what advantage a v5 would have over a v4? At the time manufacturers were allowed to enter 4 stroke engines of up to 990cc with 3-6 cylinders. Adding an extra cylinder increases valve space, meaning more fuel/air mixture can enter the cylinder. It also means th... |

| I'd stick with the guitar myself. If it is a decent LP copy get the Epiphone set up properly and if the sound is still bad then maybe get it some better hardware. Off shore guitars never come set up right. That said there may be a better choice then a LP for playing sitting down, I have never tried ... |

| I used to not mind so much, actually kind of fun if it had a pool. I needed the hotel to have a TV with my usual channels, that was my comfort requirement. Now a days I fear staying at them because of the increasing bed bug issues, yuck!! ! |

| I like to drive fast, driving slow is so boring and I love the high of feeling on the edge of breaking traction. I save my need for speed for the race track though, the police scare me and there are so many around here. |
