I remember when Datsun and Toyota were that way, too. They didn't get completely like fully customizable American cars, though, more like met halfway. Not a lot of selection in any of them now, want a better piece of $2 chrome, have to buy a $2000 dollar higher model that you don't want half the extra stuff they put on it. Was nice when you could check off the list for the new car, power seat, tinted windows, pink seats, baby poo brown exterior, 440 motor, power trunk release, no 8 track player...

QC! Just found out, in Japan, don't stick your chopsticks in the food and leave them standing up that way, something to do with funerals and considered bad form anywhere else. I never got the hang of those things anyway, wonder if you can get spoons in Japan...

Look at the bright side, I didn't say an aging Marlon Brando.

Being the man of international travel he is, Greg has his own spork.

Saw that. Chopsticks are easy for me.

Yeah, that is ugly.
With the hat I usually wear, I'll be a very distant twice removed cousin to Sam Elliot.

Greg, don't know if you are familiar with Jimmy Carr but downloading his stuff to a tablet will keep you in stitches during the flight.
