Really? Because my APR level 1 mk5 has 180000km on it, and all the trouble it gave me was around 80-100k (and under extended warranty). Just had the cam follower redone, but that was all of $170CDN, so...pretty reasonable cost for an 11 year old car.

I think they look confused, as I do when I’m employing mental gymnastics trying to figure out what the hell he’s rambling about. I think he’s only capable of concise, coherent speech when it’s scripted.

Ah, so any time a war ends we should all start pawing at strangers?

It's like they've never heard that spouses can be raped by their spouse (sounds awkward but I'm going with the gender/sex neutral way, to be more inclusive of who can be horrible to whom)

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that very few modern women would enjoy being unexpectedly bent over backwards and kissed by a stranger before he struts on back to his fiancée. You know, what with all those new-age teachings that we deserve to be treated respectfully and expect bodily autonomy.

If you’re amenable to vegan food, try Candle 79: seriously some of the best vegan I’ve ever had, actually best food period, and the drinks are great. It’s always booked up so reserve in advance.

I see your pups, and raise you a labra-goldendoodle!

True, though knowing that this subject has all sorts of issues makes me pretty biased towards that photo. I usually don’t see sexy empowerment in TR’s photos though, knowing what a creeper he is, and knowing a little bit about the subjects. They always strike me as “daddy, am I hot now?” and that’s just unappealing on…

How far did that 500 Days thing get before Gawker killed it/died?

On the level of personal insults, that was pretty bland. If the people she used to hang with found the coke look sexy, and you find the coke look sexy, then damn...maybe you are comparable to those people.

Whatevs. I knock and then try the door, giving the person inside time to announce themselves if they haven't managed to lock the door.

Probably a lot of post-event puking, when the job is done and the adrenaline wears off.

True..

Dr Doug sounds both cheap and entitled. The worst.

For some people, that story might convince them to use Uber Pool, because of the rich tapestry of life...or whatever.

My tongue in cheek-ness about the ageism thing didn’t translate ;) I’m amazed at older athletes, though some sports do translate for longevity better than others. Swimming has such low joint impact that it's conceivable to carry on for much longer than high impact sports; horseback riding is a weird combo of…

Hah, I'm also in Victoria, albeit for work. Love this city something fierce.

We all knew that Phelps wouldn’t win forever; 33 is fairly old for an Olympian (is that ageist? I might be ageist) so it came as zero shock to me that he lost.

Many high level dressage horses tend to have a very expressive (see: bouncy) trot.

I do dressage in a pretty non-sport VS Very Sexy (or whatever) 34C bra. The various horses seem to care not one bit.
