" prison time "finally woke me up to some things."

I was in the shop of a local guy that always seems to have lots of wrecked BMW's on hand recently. He had an 850 sitting in one of his bays. I asked what he was doing to it, and he said that it was getting an LS1 swap. I could not believe that shit. I asked if the engine was blown or somehow ruined, and he claimed it…

No, the lesson here is that this is how the Russian mafia drops you off at your house, after having a chat with you. As you can see, he is in no hurry to catch back up to the truck, so he was obviously not working. Plus, it looked like he was already laying down in the back of the truck when he was punched out the…

"There must be some sort of handbook given out to guys falsely informing them that throwing in an errant "lol" or "hahaha" totally neutralizes the creepy shit they just said."

Oh, OK. I get it. That is interesting, because I just posted a comment on Sunday about my wife's experience with ex-Nazi's in Brazil:

Well, I did not get shot at, but I spotted 3 BMW prototypes in downtown Charlotte NC one evening about 6 months ago. I believe that they were two X6M's and and one X7 prototypes. I was leaving my condo, and they had just come off of the Interstate. I stopped next to them at a stoplight, and the guy in the lead vehicle…

Ok, I have not heard that one. What is the punch line?

This is made even worse by the fact that this is obviously a non-Latino owned funeral home, yet they saw fit to join the Jardín y Funeraria del Ángel network (http://www.funerariasdelangel.com/tucson/es-us/i…) as a way to generate more income by catering to the Latino community. I hope this shit is enough to drive…

My wife had a roommate from Brazil when she first came to the US (NYC, naturally). After we had been dating for a few months, she was showing me some old pictures from her time in NYC, and there was one photo of her with a 6ft tall, blonde haired, blue eyed girl. This was her friend from Brazil. I told her that her…

I am surprised to learn that Brazil has an aircraft carrier.

I can imagine some of those things prowling around the bar district of some city late at night. I can also imagine a group of drunken idiots jumping on it for a ride, and then when they get bored with that, rolling the damn thing over onto the sidewalk. I know that me and my old drinking buddies would have been unable…

Yes you did. And those of us in the dealership parts deapartment used to laugh like hell at you for doing so. We would also place fake phone calls to each other, and make the guy who answered look up the most obscure part we could think of, and he model of the car was always a "xxxxx" Bro-ham. That should been enough…

OK. I baked this for my niece, and followed it to the letter. I froze the cake until it was frozen, as was so helpfully suggested. Imagine my shock when I sliced the cake open, and there was a number 5! Now my niece is turning 8, so you can imagine my embarrassment!

I know, right! I usually count myself to be extremely lucky if I have ever even heard of the song listed here. It's very odd if it's one that I have actually heard, and even odder if it is one like or liked (Sorry, but I have not heard Iron Maiden in years). But I loved this song!

True. Not to mention that Tim Samaras was one of the more careful and safety conscious storm chasers out there. If he can be caught off guard, anyone can.

Someone seriously needs to start a fund to get this kid out of SC, especially since this story broke. There are some seriously backwards people there, including the police, and I will not be at all surprised if something bad happens to him. I wish I could say I was exaggerating, but I am not, not even a bit.

I agree. It should have started when she got in the shower that morning.

Thanks. I cracked the screen on my iPad!

"And the driver was reportedly not intoxicated. This must be the only Russian crash ever to not be caught on a dashcam."

No, it is the correct word, although it is a bit archaic at this point, since the usage of this word peaked around the time of the US Civil War (1860's). It looked weird to me as well.
