I imagine Storey’s train of thought went something like “Oh, I owe you six million pounds? How about I take this bitch all the way to 35, huh? How do you like that?”

That’s pretty much every race. There were a bunch of pop-up merch stores in Montreal this year that had all kinds of old stuff left over - Williams BMW, Brawn GP, McLaren Honda, McLaren Mercedes, Jaguar, Rosberg stuff from Mercedes... 

I’d walk slowly in the path of people in Ferrari/Mercedes/RedBull shirts (which I have seen around) and make them go around me....

What if they simply put a disclaimer on the package, something like “Please only have one at a time”? 

Smothered in peppery white gravy or it’s no deal... 

Oh man, that Double Down was a greasy sandwich... but delicious. It was even better if it was dipped in gravy.

No cheese on it aside from the cheese dust, so it’s Midwest-ish at best.

I’ve heard chocolate ice cream with good extra virgin olive oil is a good combo as well. 

Today I was running late and didn’t bring lunch to work with me.

You’re right that most of the appetizers are some combination of fried things, cheesy things, greasy meat things, or all three. Which, to me, is the best part of the menu.... but anyway...

The TMI accident happened six or seven years before Chernobyl, so I don’t think it’s correct to say Chernobyl had much of an effect on the public’s reaction to the TMI accident. Years later, I’m sure Chernobyl didn’t help, but it couldn’t have been a factor for at least the first five years.

Where I think this person’s question is coming from is that it’s not uncommon to see a salad or pasta dish listed on its own on menu, with the option to add meat for $2-5 more depending on what kind of meat it is.

This thing is beautiful. There are plenty of other old/interesting cars I’d own before this one if given the choice, but you just don’t see these in this kind of condition and SAAB has always had a pretty unique place in automotive history, so you could certainly do worse.

Literally dozens of people didn’t see this coming.

I have no desire to ever own a bike, but I recognize cool when I see it and this thing just oozes cool. It’s very stylish, totally impractical and probably terrible to ride, but who cares about the ride when it’s just so beautiful? I don’t think I’ve enjoyed looking at a bike this much since Chrysler unveiled the…

One of my coworkers has a Touareg that he purchased brand-new in 2006. He’s got 180,000 miles on it now and hasn’t had a single major repair (and not a lot of minor ones, either). He’s got the V8, which I’m sure has helped his reliability a lot compared to the V10 version. He still loves it! 

Oh good! Still have to get there one of these days... our trips to visit her family are never long enough and we always end up at Gene & Jude’s and Portillo’s first. 

Those guys make a habanero sauce that is still one of my favorites. Very simple but great flavor and plenty of heat. 

Is Paradise Pup still open? I remember hearing from my wife’s family (who live a mile or two from there) that it was raided a while back and chained up.

Haven’t they always been top cut? As in, a vertical slice down the middle from top down?  What am I missing?
