I grew up in the Dallas suburbs, and that's pretty much how I describe it to people: inoffensive in every way imaginable, which comes at the price of just about anything interesting. Everything you need, and close enough to things you want, but absolutely nothing to get excited or upset about, oppressive heat aside.

Wiedeking is an engineer, and his business ideas turned Porsche into another of Volkswagen's toys. Auto Guy:

Frisco is more distinctive only because you've driven so far north of 635 that by the time you arrive in Frisco, you've already started wondering if you've missed it and wound up in Oklahoma instead. Plano just blends right in to the rest of the conglomerated suburb that is far north dallas.

Well, buddy, there's a fundamental problem with what you said:

thanks to the 20 pepper plants on your homestead*

For posterity's sake:

Ignore the guy whose handle is presumably named after a Mac operating system. Bob is still great.

And here we find Fred Armisen's inspiration for his next monologue as a Portlandia character:

You need to branch out, then: Journey is terrible.

That's indeed what the n/a Merc V8s have sounded like as of late, and that's a wonderful thing, but the clips I've heard of the turbo'd 5.5 to this point have been nice but underwhelming. And in the context of the sounds Astons have been making, there's no room for underwhelming.

I'm skeptical of the sound-producing qualities of the Merc turbo-V8.

Newsflash, bud: you give money every day to people who support political candidates with different opinions than yours.

You also have to factor in that you're burning calories all day, not just when you're working out. The reality is that the difference between weight maintenance and weight gain for most people is around 300-500 intentionally burned calories (read: exercise) per day. Combine that with a reasonable diet and it's just…

And yet the best doctors have a good bedside manner, the best professors are able to not only perform great research but are also great teachers, the best attorneys are not just those who know the law well but can also communicate with their clients, the best CEOs are those who can drive profits while also being able…

Drifters: still have shit for taste and a flawed understanding of color palettes and the preferred curvature of baseball hat brims, but also still doing cool shit.

We have got to do something about regulating the inflatable blimp novelty advertisement industry! Things have gone too far!

You said "fuck the 1%" because a construction site exists and you surmised that the construction firm has a CEO who presumably makes some amount of money. Do you generally just walk down the street every day pointing at buildings, cars, and all manner of products/firms/products going "HOLY SHIT THAT MOTHERFUCKING…

What's your point, though? There seem to be a lot of confusion in this thread as to what the fuck your point is that the CEO makes some amount of money? Either you're U Thant and we're all morons, or you're struggling to get your point across. Or you don't have a point.

Houstonians: the only people in Texas insane enough to try and pass off anything near Houston as a "beach"

Cue the butthurt.
