Fun trivia: “Ye Olde Bullshit” is just lazy typesetters saying “þ looks a little like a Y, right? Fuck it.” So ‘Ye’ is actually ‘þe’, which is pronounced ‘the’.

Before I started reading, I was mistaking this for the Monte Cristo, a much worse version of the Grilled Ham Sandwich Made Fancy.

Go for it! I’m fairly new to riding, and just took the MSF course last month, which was interesting and fun. If you can drive a stick, it’s not too bad getting the hang of motorcycle transmissions. Make sure you try on a bunch of helmets before you buy. The first one I got gave me some serious brain-squeeze that

Ticking clocks of any kind really bug the shit out of tigers. Fact.

I scrolled and scrolled and no one took this softball? Man! OK:

Actually, it’s about ethics in game journalism.

VA is infamous for their draconian speeding laws.

Trailer spoiler alert: Sean Bean dies.

I remember when my moment of realization for a haircut was when it was hitting me in the eyes. Now, it’s when I look like I have a mullet, because that’s how much faster the back grows. Sadface.

I wouldn’t say ‘filled with negativity’, more like smeared: on the surface, a nasty, but thin, layer that is undeniably distracting from the whole.

DEET is the shiz. I spent six weeks camping in Nebraska grassland, which is tick country, and those of us with DEET were secure, and those with the crappy lotions and stuff were picking each other like chimpanzees.

Back in the day helmets might have obstructed vision, but no modern helmet will do that. I checked back when I started riding, and my eyes wouldn’t rotate side-to-side far enough to see anything but the hint of helmet. Plus, they say you should look with your head anyway.

Get thee a full face!

Evan, you’ve been a highlight of my Gawker-wide reading for a long time, I’m excited to see you change focus a little over at i09.

I had a conversation about my girlfriend’s non-Abarth, turbo 500 (I’m told it’s mechanically the same, but with a single exhaust and some trim differences) yesterday, and the guy kept saying “supercharged”, and I’d say, “turbo.” I gave up after three.

I’ve been buying a shampoo that has mint in it for about a decade now because I like the minty-fresh feeling on my scalp. About three years ago, they changed the label so now my brand/variety is “Head And Shoulders FOR MEN” I had no idea it was a manly thing to do to have a tingly scalp.

If she’s the type who is all, “Who’s that? Why he painted like a piece of HubbaBubba Watermelon? Why is there a Grey Robot Guy, in addition to Red Robot Guy? Why is Captain -America- fighting in Germany and Generic African Locale?” throughout the movie, maybe get some background. If she can roll with it and use

There is no chance that this is the last time Cruz runs. We’ll get to watch her grow up into an angry pre-teen in 2020, and she’ll be in full teenage hellion mode by 2024!

It makes me happy that there are Falleen and Black Sun gangsters in the new canon (appearances on Clone Wars, comics and Rebels), so the events of Shadows of the Empire might just still be in the canon. Good book, and the game was kind of a milestone for the late-90's Star Wars resurgence.

I’d like to know what the design plan was for the YT series. The outrider cockpit seems to make sense on the Millennium Falcon, since it’s just a little off to the side, with all the cargo area in the center of mass. The Outrider (YT-2000? I’ve decided not to look it up, but I think that’s the one from X-Wing

I wish that Amazon would keep track of when I search for something then immediately buy it! Thanks for the ad for the thing that was delivered yesterday, Amazon, but no thanks.
