Or what makes the Mark 44, Model O Lazy Dog Missile Cluster, the sexiest piece of military hardware on wheels? Or how LSD edged out all contenders as the Platonic Ideal of illicit drugs?

You may already know that Belgium is the most boring country on planet Earth, but do you know why? Or what makes the Mark 44, Model O Lazy Dog Missile Cluster, the sexiest piece of military hardware on wheels? Or how LSD edged out all contenders as the Platonic Ideal of illicit drugs?From cities to sitcoms, from scotch to soda, from English monarchs to French movies, The Real Thing is a compendium of the quintessential, providing definitive answers to some of the most compelling questions of our time: What confection out-cholesterols the competition? Why is The Country Club the country club? Which Charlie Chan proved the least scrutable?
Author Kurt Andersen's pithy pronouncements sparkle with wit, sophistication, and a healthy dose of skeptical good humor as he strips world culture of accumulated hype and accepted wisdom, laying bare the sine qua nons and the ne plus ultras in a sassy series of satirical essays that give credit where credit is due while simultaneously foreclosing on the bogus, the ersatz, the would-be, and the has-been. The Real Thing is the real thing. These days, that's really something.

Honda Panel Pop Rivets
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
This product pack offered all the sizing I needed.
The rivets fit perfectly in the wheel well panel. I was able to replace the window washer reservoir and replace all the rivets. The end result was a panel held in better than before I started the project.

Worth the money
Had to pull the front bumper on my 2012 honda cr-v. Had all the clips that I needed except two on each side in the fender weld. Worth the money.

The old ones were over 20 years old and brittle. These are a great replacement

Perfect fit for a Tacoma.
There are 2 headlight bulb retaining clips in this packet that fit my 2013 Tacoma. Fits perfect, no modifications needed to the clips. Toyota dealers do not sell these clips alone, they must be ordered with the headlight housing. eBay has one for $50!!! AMZN beats them all.
