Okay, after a bit of googling to find out which engine that got I guess I can safely say that your experience is absolutely not a reasonable predictor of the rate of fuel consumption I could expect on my hypothetical Civic. Thanks, though. :P

But love won't move a Civic fast enough for my tastes. You have a 1.7L SOHC engine that makes 115 hp, I want 1.8L, DOHC, and something in the neighborhood of 160 hp.
What do modern Civics get as far as MPG? My '93 Del Sol gets about 34 with mixed city/highway driving, but it also come with some questionable aftermarket bits, like this loud fucking exhaust tip that I want to see about removing. I imagine more noise = worse fuel economy, right?
If they were toeing the line they wouldn't be able to reach eachother with their swords. So if they're getting close enough to stab people, they've crossed the line.
Exactly. Crossing the line =\= toeing the line. In fact, 'toe the line' == 'fall in line.'
I never said that toeing the line = crossing the line. I said that it means coming just short of crossing the line. Your definition doesn't make any sense, that's straddling the line. The line is very clearly a border and not a path.
Toeing the line means to fall in line. Follow orders. The House of Commons example shows exactly that. Toeing the line meant you were obeying. Following orders, seeing as how they were told to toe the line.
You're painting 'toe the line' as if someone is on just at the edge of the line, pushing their luck, or their boundaries.
I'm saying that to 'toe the line' means to stand precisely on the exact mark you're told to.
If you are pushing your luck you have crossed the line, because until you cross the line you don't need luck, because you are within your established bounds. Your definition makes absolutely no sense and makes the phrase "cross the line" utterly nonsensical. And yeah you don't need to tell someone to stand precisely behind the line if they're not crossing it, that makes perfect sense. How do you keep finding a way to interpret the line as anything other than a boundary?
It doesn't really matter what makes sense.
One of the accepted colloquialisms for "doing what you're told" is to "toe the line".

I have no idea where you getting that my method makes no sense. It's not even my method. I didn't even start this.
If someone is 'toeing the line,' they are falling in with a standard. Conforming, obeying. End of story. What is the problem there? As 'the line' is metaphorically the mark on the ground where people are supposed to stand. It's not a boundary, it's a mark. An order.

TL DRNot at all confident in his reflexive opinions of thingsRegistered Userregular
so i went to the store on sunday and bought a little chicken for 5.30 i figured it would last me 2 days with leftovers for snacks.
i then went and got all my other normal groceries and saw that they are selling frozen turkeys... on sale... for 29 cents a pound.... so a 15 pound turkey costs 4.35
thats right i put the little chicken back and bought a turkey instead.
looks like i have food for a week.
Suspiciously cheap. Has there been a surge in mission persons reports in your area, or lots of posters for lost pets?

I average 30mpg but I do A LOT of city driving. Stop/Go/Stop Go. When travel from here to Atlanta on I-10/I65/I-85 I can generally get near or even break 40mpg.

crossing the line and toeing the line are different expressions, they are using "line" in different ways.

i did have to spend 25 dollars or more and use my club card (which is free and took 2 minutes to get).
but how hard is it to spend 25 dollars at a grocery store?
if they still sell them for that price next weekend, i might buy another one.

It could just as well be to "paint the badgers".

Ahh Sabs always there to take us to Chris Hansen land.
Speaking of that, there was an article in the paper trying to make me feel bad for a guy who raped a 3 year old. Boo hoo asshole.

You're feeding him baked goldfish aren't you

Unless the guy has some serious brain defect or something, I have no idea how you could feel bad for him.
MARK IT ZERO
I was going to write something bad but I just can't do it. I can't!!
