12 Delightful Ogden Nash Quotes
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
To keep your marriage brimming, With love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong, admit it; Whenever you're right, shut up.
Certainly there are things in life that money can't buy, but it's very funny - Did you ever try buying them without money?
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave when they think that their children are naive.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Commitments the voters don't know about can't hurt you.
Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Blows Up Stereotypes
It doesn't take a Shaquille O'Neal
commercial to realize that hybrid cars have suffered from a chronically wonky
style. Often shaped like a wedge of cheese, it has been increasingly confusing
why hybrid car manufacturers don't seem to put any effort into design. An
additional pre-conception about hybrids is that they don't perform up to the
standard of traditional 'gas only' automobiles. This is a more understandable
issue that is dissipating since the capability of hybrids has improved as the
technology has evolved.
Porsche is poised to blow the lid off
both these stereotypes. The 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder is by far the coolest
looking hybrid to come along, and it's not that it's cool for a hybrid; it's
just cool. It can go zero to sixty in 3.1 seconds, while getting 78 MPG. The
918 is the first hybrid super car. Being a super car means most
people can't afford it with its $845,000 sticker price.
Since the price is so high, more is
also expected from it. As such a review from Edmunds does have some points of
criticism. The electric motor doesn't make much noise, and doesn't have the
same feel as a gas engine. They state that this makes it lack character. Also
the performance for this level of car is not flawless. However, Edmunds does
admit that Porsche has shown that if their first generation car has
flaws, they have been known to come back and fix those, then go
beyond everyone’s expectation. This is still a new technology, and this is a
huge step forward in performance.
It will be interesting to see the
market for the car, and the sales numbers. The price obviously makes the target
market rather small to begin with. Will that market embrace a hybrid? Could
there be cache to owning the first hybrid super car? Will Porsche be able to
reach out to wealthy 'green people' to invest in a car they may not normally
sink their money into?
Don't have the anser to that, but do hope I get to see this car in person some day.

Get Smart's Shoe Phone Foreshadows Cell Phones in the Theatre
'Get Smart' was a delightfully funny and clever tv show created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry in 1965, and starred Don Adams as Maxweel Smart Agent 86. In this clip Maxwell Smart's shoe phone not only foreshodows the coming of cell phones, but it also forshodows the problem with cell phones way before its time. For anyone who hasn't seen 'Get Smart', there are original episodes on YouTube. Current remakes just can't live up to the refreshingly silly and unique original...
