Since I need to check the valve clearances on the Escape's heads I picked up a set of feeler gauges from Advance. Checking the clearances on the last set of valves, the nut on the feeler gauges came off and fell down into the head someplace... hopefully it didn't fall down into one of the spark plug holes because trying to fish it out will be a complete pain in the ass (and I'm NOT pulling the head back off and having to spend another $50 on a new set of head bolts). Would it have been that difficult for them to have put the smallest drop of thread lock on the nut???

That's a tool bag move and shows a shocking lack of self awareness, it should be punished. (Peanut butter if you're feeling more charitable than me.)
Or dogE36 M3. I've done that exactly once before.
The Motor Trend channel on TV seems to have an awful lot of commercials for generic Viagra and Cialis. The commercials all feature virile looking young men and voluptuous women, which is not really the target audience for boner pills.
I made a reference to Idiocracy and my GF didn't get it. She had to Google the reference.
She's never seen the movie(!!!).

Grrrr. Looks like I brought a hitchhiker home from last week's work trip. Feeling like Sisyphus after he was run over by his boulder.
Time to dig out a C*V*D test, methinks, for all the good that that’s going to do.

I read that as syphilis at first and thought " He's too comfortable here"

I hope you find the nut. I couldn't stand the not knowing.

My favorite is when my kids say they want water to drink - "water? like what's in the toilet????"
