I’d come out of retirement to beat this guy up too.  Shame it has to be Mayweather.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but leaning towards Paul. He’s an oblivious, insensitive idiot but at least he’s not a criminal.

“You know who boxing fans really want to see in the ring? Nate Robinson. Set it up!”

Paul’s not going to be able to begin avoiding Mayweather’s punches.  You ever see lightweights fight?  You can’t even see their hands.  That’s what Floyd is going to look like to Paul.

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Free market fuckery would almost certainly mean independent developers building stations with adapters for every kind of vehicle. Eventually the market will converge to a single standard.  No location that will have charging available (office buildings, shopping center lots, apartment buildings) wants more than one…

I can’t speak to the range, but if I were Honda I’d market it to younger drivers against models like Mini Cooper or lift it a bit and get into the small CUV space.

Ahead of its time meant people didn’t want it yet. But it was also sinfully, unredeemably ugly.

They’re cheap horsepower, so there’s no way you don’t end up with dudes making all owners look a little meatheady.

Oof.  That wood trim is a full-on eye assault.

I don’t have much in the way of opinions on the others, but the Aztek deserves every bit of vitriol thrown its way. That vehicle was just ugly AF and the final headshot to Pontiac.

You’ll always have the “I will never own a minivan” crowd. Frankly I’m in it despite being old enough to not really care. But the times I’ve rented them for various reasons I have been sorely tempted. The amount of sheet space, both in back and between the seats, is eons better than any SUV. And don’t discount the…

PT was distinctive, which is going to attract a lot of opinions in both directions.  Meanwhile the Cavalier just...was.  No one had a strong opinion about that car.  It existed.  Yawn.

She should have been cooler under pressure...

I’m guessing because it’s ultimately just historical fiction, but now featuring people who are still alive.

My somewhat hazy recollection is every publication ran commentary essentially saying “is he nuts?? How could anyone choose Camilla over Diana?”  As if their faces were all there was to them.

I read and enjoyed Moby Dick - when I was 35.  I can’t imagine trying to plow through that book while dissecting it in class every day as a teenager.

A few years ago I started running through novels that won Pulitzers for fiction. And you know what? There’s some great recent work that was fully deserving of that prize!

I think a lot of the movements to remake what’s taught in high school lit classes is throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but am on board with pushing books like Moby Dick to a later age. First, it’s a doorstop. High school kids are either already strapped for time or you’re going to have to stretch out the…

Reading Shakespeare is just such a self-defeating means of introducing his work. His plays contained a lot of humor and subtext that can only be communicated by an actor who already understands the intent of the language. He’s really a separate category of literature.
