:( I know. It's still upsetting.

Remember when Richmond was really lobbying to get this at or near RIR? Seems like they really dodged a bullet.

As much as I think NASCAR would like the public to believe they are still growing....I think their fan base is shrinking in size. I am merely going by the tv coverage and the increasing number of empty seats. Every race track is having a harder and harder time filling them. Some of the races I saw were nearly…

We nutty race car people interpreted this as a brown goldmine earlier today:

Wouldn't worry me. I'd probably not be alive at that point.

Eww. Just eww. As a JHS teacher, allow me to be very clear: if a student shows any kind of inappropriate interest (and sometimes they do), YOU BE THE ADULT. You tell them it is not appropriate. You arrange for the two of you to never be alone in the same space. You let your department head/supervisor/administrators…

The following year, Davis made a much better movie directed by Harlin, The Long Kiss Goodnight. That movie was a box office failure too and it's pretty ridiculous but it is much more fun. After these two expensive flops, Davis didn't make another movie for a few years and never made it back to the A-list. And Harlin…

I think it's pretty brave / awesome of her to post these updates, especially with photos. Ray Rice videos aside, domestic assault is usually something that is hidden behind closed doors. And it extends way beyond just the initial act; recoveries can take months and people are usually left with permanent injuries. It's…

Yo, Dan, why is that a stadium is obsolete at 17 while a nickname is forever?

"We need to let kids know that it's okay to suck."

Oooh! Oooh! I know! Call on me! Call on meeeeeeeee!

This saddens me deeply. As a Marussia B1 owner, I have to say that it's easily the best vaporware I've ever owned. The legacy and pedigree that you feel every time you close your eyes and imagine holding the steering wheel is peerless. The way the car burbles on downshifts, it reminds me of when I was a kid and used…

So, Wez is living in S. Africa now.

Hi, I'm Turbotastic and this is This Internet Life.

I look forward to the Top Gear tour of the abandoned Ferrari Amusement Park in Spain in 4 years.

@68INCOGNITO: Sorry Jon Martin for leading the abuse that contributed to your depression and breakdown, and for telling everyone you were suicidal, and for calling you a pussy and for saying the truth would bury you, and for calling you a half-nigger into whose mouth I was gonna shit, and for all that stuff about…

So, in my case, I would come home to him masturbating!

That's a very good point. What of the key things I learned from "Invisible War" is that rapes are committed (at least in the military) by a small group of predators who repeatedly attack victims again and again. Much like child predators, they pick out their victims carefully and build a good relationship with the…
