Pork loin wrapped in pineapple that's been wrapped in bacon.
What a terrible use for the pineapple.
It should've been used as topping on a pizza.

12 minutes of what is unarguably the funniest thing ever on late-night television.
Local tire store owner had one almost identical but old man clean. I offered to buy it multiple times and he always refused. There were big block mount kits for em then
alas he passed and they gave the car to a younger family member and I never saw it again.I was thinking big quiet mufflers, a low deck stroker, A body 8-3/4 and drag radials…..and a baby seat.
Watched the movie Christine last night.
It would be a good bet that Gabe could not pass a employment drug screen.

Was it Christine meets American Graffiti? Because that would be epic!
Pretty good illustration for a physics lesson there
Replacing the Lucas parts with Bosch parts...
There's an old joke about "why the British drink warm beer". The refrigerators are made by Lucas.
If you can believe what is on wikipedia. Below is some relevant info on Lucas:
Cross-licensing agreements:
In the 1920s Lucas signed a number of cross-licensing agreements with Bosch, Delco, and most of the other automotive electrical equipment manufacturers in Europe and North America. In addition, these agreements included a non-competitive clause agreeing that Lucas would not sell any electrical equipment in their countries and they would not sell electrical equipment in Great Britain. By the mid-1930s Lucas had a virtual monopoly of automotive electrical equipment in Great Britain.
Reception and reputation:
With a monopoly in place, Lucas proceeded to supply electrical equipment that was commonly cited as the best reason not to buy a British car. The poor reliability of Lucas auto-electrics earned it the nickname "Prince of Darkness". Incidentally, heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne, who adopted the nickname as part of his stage image and was also from Birmingham, was a former Lucas Industries employee as was his mother.
Wish I had bought one of these new in 1988… they were giving them away at Dodge dealer near where I went to school….
Big block with 4wd and AC was something like 13k. Oops.

Debbie must be a trifling bitch.
I'll refer you back to the photo. Every time it plays, it is different. Highs and lows (surface features), get smoothed by the needle, corners get knocked off, and gradually the sound degrades (not so gradually, by the way). On a level of the magnification of the photo, it is plain to see that sound reproduction is going to be poor. Electronics can only stifle the hiss, and pop, and scratchy sounds of a needle abrading the groove smoother, which further muddies the sound. Records were made from tapes, through a analog mixer, hand mixed by an engineer who did it mostly by ear (and had been doing it for years, which meant his hearing was degrading as he got more and more skilled), Then came Digital tape recording, then direct to digital, with a digital readout, so that sound could be visually corrected, limited only by how many channels you divided up the spectrum. Digital recording CAN produce the most fidelity of all mediums of reproduced music or sound in general, depending on how it is mixed. What so called "audiophiles" (read that as "vinyl cave people") decry is missing tonal variances, and that is usually up to the engineer. He can capture it all, and it can be reproduced pretty well, provided the mixing board is high enough quality. One of my brothers was a tech at Bose, and the rest have been in the music industry and performers for decades. So, yeah, I know what I am talking about.
Incidentally, you are correct. Vinyl cannot be matched by anything else, It is the worst possible method of sound reproduction and no beeter than a Victrola, until you attach a bunch of high end electronics to it. Nothing else is as bad.
