I had that happen once when I was a teenager. Scary as shit, but I did manage to quickly grab the emergency brake and stop before anything worse happened.

One of my best friends here in NYC served Monica Lewinsky a number of years ago - said she was pretty nice (and of course my friend was perfectly professional).

The “hamburger deck” story reminds me of standing outside a political event in Virginia Beach talking privately with a candidate for Congress (I’d offered to volunteer redoing their website/branding/etc.). He’s a former marine, so we’re standing there and a bolt of lighting hits less than a mile away - I have NEVER…

Was the spoon passed too, or just the bowl?

9 inches! OMG! That’s fucking hilarious.

Ugh, don’t ever do that again. I’ll never be able to unsee that. :-(

That’s priceless! ROFL.

That’s pretty good. Also rather risky given so many Americans’ lack of such knowledge. LOL. BTW, I’ve been there and took a photo of the grave which ended up with a sun glare artifact that made it look like a ghost was over the flame. ;-)

That's actually a damned good speech. Shame he ruined it with his actions off the stage. :-(

We use these at work, and at least with my magic mouse, it doesn't seem like they last very long before needing a recharge. How much longer must we suffer through batteries being by far the weakest part of tech? I for one am sick of it.

Just added you on FB - funny how many friends we have in common. LOL

I'd totally buy that book. LOL
