This movie plot reminds me I’d love to see an adaptation of Nick Tosches’ novel “Under Tiberius” where Jesus is something of a traveling hustler and starts to buy into his own grift. Great read if that sort of thing interests you. But this is something I’ll probably check out! Love me some LaKeith Stanfield. 

Huh. I could have swore my MkIV Vr6 Jetta had buttons on the wheel. 

I really *really* liked BMWs naming conventions because you knew what you were getting with the model name, but lord knows how long it has been since that was lined up (well, someone here probably knows!)

I see I’m not the only other person who sees the name “Carol” and immediately hears Charlie Day/Kelly’s voice. 

Royal Enfield got me into motorcycling again with their warranty, price, and (surprisingly enough) lack of grunt. My bike, a Himalayan, propels its 500-ish pounds forward with a scant 24 horsepower. It’s still quick enough to be fun, but as a new rider, it’s not something I’m finding myself getting myself into trouble…

iirc, air travel of all kinds burns around 2% of the carbon emitted yearly. not nothing, but not a huge amount (compared to other greenhouse gas emitting activities - still a shitload in a vacuum) 

That reminds me, I had a growler explode in the back of my Mini once and my shit smelled like a brewery for a while and I once had to explain that to a state trooper when I picked up a guy who broke his femur in a motorcycle accident in the no-cell phone zone of the mountains of NH. Turns out that dude crashed while…

Do they have the “failure to signal” on dash cam? I’m not inclined to believe anything cops have to say without corresponding evidence. And driving by at less than half the speed limit may be a deliberate troll by this guy anyway. 

I had a Toyota Matrix knocking on 200k trouble-free miles when it went to my cousin’s kid for his first car. I had enough confidence in its ability to just keep going that I didn’t think twice about putting a teenager in it. It’ll be roaming the wastes with cockroaches after the big one drops 

I am also not that guy, but I’m more that guy, as I’ve never dropped an N-bomb before. Checkmate, Wallen. 

I’ve literally never bought a brand-new car and I’d be out in front of the non-existent Suzuki car dealership waiting on line (of one person - me) to buy a brand new Jimny. 

Jon Benjamin, another Jewish person who once played a gay guy (a gay were-Jew, actually), also really needs to insert himself into the ongoing war crime in Gaza before I make up my mind where I stand.

I followed a Diablo a couple weeks ago on a windy road while on my motorcycle. The driver did some...ahem...spirited driving in the twisties and it was tough keeping up on my dog-slow ADV. I liked looking at it, that’s for sure.

Ozzy and Keith Richards should work together to build a giant pair of Icarus wings and actually fly off into the sun when it’s time to go.

NBA player Dirk Nowitzki had (or still has? Not sure) a Mini and he’s listed at 7'0" even. I’m a quite pedestrian 5'11" and I couldn’t drive our Minis with the seat all the way back. They have more leg and headroom than many would think, as you noted.

It was “Sperm and Split” in my part of Iowa. 

I *just* finished my first replay of TLoU II yesterday. I guess I’ve got a lot of forgetting to do between now and then. Rougelike and lost levels sound like it’ll be worth the $10 though even if I don’t get to the main game again for a while. 

Nathan For You is one of the most ambitious TV shows I’ve ever seen. He started a clothing company for the express purpose of letting people know the holocaust happened, he convinced a pretty lady to tell him she loved him until he cried, and he made shit-flavored frozen yogurt. Also, Fielder isn’t American either.…

HUUUUUUMAN Meat-Frank would be a great fit. 

Quite simply: I’m an idiot.
