lol - "i'm asian". that's possibly the first time that's ever been used to explain a lack of knowledge of dry cleaning...

oh shiiiit baby... you got some junk in your trunk sugar... mmmn mm.

my band's old demo CD is on amazon for $89.95 - "Factory sealed with shrinkwrap intact!"

tortuously? is that a legal term?

i'm glad this touches on the axis of mercedes-BMW-audi douche-dom. audi is a recent addition to the douche club, but they've been working hard at raising that SES score.
