CP for peeling flat black painted factory wheels. IME this is never a good sign - anything done to this car was probably done cheaply or wrong (or both).

This show has had some of the best written standup scenes I’ve ever watched outside of actual standup. I mean, the routines here just killed.

This show is pretty much perfectly cast.

Got to see the Smithereens this past September at a very small theater. Even though Pat did the whole show sitting down (and couldn’t play guitar, and had an arm in a sling) due to his injuries, he and the band still killed.

That’s exactly what’s happening - there was no other reason for the baby’s father who’s name I can’t be bothered to go look up to appear in the last episode.

Careful you don’t get any on your shirt. It stains.

I kind of like the style of the Smeg appliances (they sell a refrigerator that’s painted up in a giant goddamned Union Jack), but I know that the first thing I’d do is pry the letters off and go buy some stick on ones from an old American car so it says “DODGE” or “MACK” or hell even “RAMBLER”.

Hell, I know I’d just…

We make our own dog treats - they look like little cookies so that’s what we call them. I think we got the recipe from the breeder we got him from. They’re simple to make so we don’t spend an undue amount of time doing this, and don’t think it’s particularly unusual.

This is a pretty regular occurrence. Lumber sticks out way less than if we use the Accord and fold down the seat. It’s the sole reason we left that luggage rack on when we repainted the car.

I get the same thing about my Miata. One guy literally turned around and walked away from me mid sentence when I told him I drive it in the winter.

They’re almost exclusively made by Avon these days - same as with Can-Am and F5000 (I go to a few vintage races each season and it’s almost all you see on the bigger cars. The Lotus in the photo is on Dunlops, I believe). You get a bit more variety in the production car and smaller single seater classes, as you can…

He invites Midge to chat further at the deli (which is apparently where all Jewish business transactions take place)

Something something never join a club that’d have me as a member.

You can actually expand that to old cars in general. Go to any old car cruise in and it’s exactly the same attitude - old guys who don’t like anything built after (insert year they graduated from high school or got married). DJ playing fifties and sixties music. It annoys me because I’m far more interested in classic…

Man, there was an XT parked near me for like a year (it moved, so I knew it ran), that was nice enough that it was probably reliable but ratty enough I wouldn’t have had any compunction about using it as a winter car. I never managed to find the owner and see if I could pry it loose, not that I really have any place…

I like the stinger for Conversation Street. It’s more reliably funny than the actual bit.

SIARPC was hit or miss - I generally ignored the interviews (particularly in later years) although it was fun to hear what some people’s first cars were - but some people were genuinely fun to watch as they wrestled with a decidedly non-performance car on a track, particularly people who didn’t already spend time…

I started to hear a thudding sound - or at least sensing something like that - but I also read the whole article before looking at the gif. So I was primed to hear it. There sure as heck wasn’t anything playing.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever fuckin’ heard of. Of course it’s from someplace like the Dakotas (runs off to fish an Old Style and a pickle from the fridge to try it).

This is technically called the “club slice”. I am both amused and ashamed to know this.
