I've always preferred LOX and kerosene.

That still requires violating some traffic laws. None of the east coast states have speed limits that go up to 88 mph.

Luckily, a DeLaurian capable of trans-lightcone travel is automatically compatible with the 11th commandment ("Though shalt not get caught" )

So many issues have I with this post chain...
Brun didn't say it was a guy in a white lab coat getting out of a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor collecting the clock. Of course, why would Doc need a clock, since he already had a bunch of them in his workshop?

* Neither did Brun say that that the guy who collected the clock wasn't clad in a labcoat, didn't get out of a DeLorean, flux-capacitated or not. Yes, many people would probably find "a guy in a white lab coat getting out of a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor" worth mentioning. Brun is not 'many people'.
* There's a difference between 'need' and 'want'. Both can provide ample motivation.
* DeLorian/DeLorean - sry
* trans-lightcone: obvs bullshit, sry.
* flux-capacitor:
--- Quote ---In the German-dubbed version, the device was once again mistranslated and called the "fluxkompensator" ("flux compensator"). The correct German translation for the word capacitor, however, would be "Kondensator".

Doc would want another clock for the same reason Brun wants another clock: because it's there.

I try to strictly limit the number of things I acquire an educated palate for. It makes life simpler (and cheaper). Its not a problem only wanting to drink single malt scotch from lowland distilleries, but if I acquired a similarly discriminating palate for things that are less of an occasional luxury item then life would be more complicated. The other thing to get your head round, IMNSHO, is to distance certain ersatz foods from their inspiration. Instant mash, viewed as mashed potato, is an abomination, but instant mash viewed as a starch source that may be acceptably flavoured with cayenne, garlic and the like is acceptable in a quick meal just so long as you don't think of it as potato...
