Ran when parked. 

I bought my wife a Vespa and the thing is a blast to ride, even if it is under powered. A scooter with a side care, however, has “massive head trauma” written all over it as well as “persistent vegetative state”. I wouldn’t go near this thing, much less ride it or ride in it. CP.

When Mary Barra was made CEO a lot of business papers like the Wall Street Journal fretted that all of the executive talent at GM that were passed over would leave and go somewhere else. Spending a fair amount of time in Michigan I knew that most car executives are “car guys” and would stay. Not only would they stay,…

Try Chess for Dummies.  It has good entry level strategy as well as lots of history.  Will raise your game and make you feel like you know what is going on when reading articles like this one.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Jaguar XJL? Is it a good value used?

Other great quotable movies for people of a certain age: Fletch, Slapshot!, Animal House, Bull Durham and Tommy Boy.  Quote away!

The ball has almost no spin which means it was “knuckling” and took a wicked left turn just before it got to the goalie.  The final view from behind the goal keeper shows how much it shifted to his right.  Not so much a boner as a wicked shot.

Not sure where you get your facts. Went to Tufts and live near Reed. Neither are particularly Subaru-centric. You see more old Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissan’s and BMW’s for the trustfarians. You want to see Subarus in Bear country check out Colorado College, CU or University of Vermont. It’s all Subarus now that Saab…

Just a thought, but what about a right hand drive car? Something imported from Japan or England. I think he could find a Morgan Plus 8 for around $50k.

This car is absolutely coprolitic. A coprolite is a fossilized dinosaur shit. Leave it where you found it.

Maybe they could do a crossover with Mystery Men. Janeane Garofolo could chuck her bowling ball at Thanos, The Shoveler, could dig out from under him and the Invisible Boy could sneak up on him when he isn’t looking. Thanos would never expect this type of attack. Blue Raja could stick him with a fork when he is done.

My 12 year old son still has “bear” eleven years after choosing him as his favorite.. He’s been restuffed a few times at “Build a Bear”. We scoured the internet to find “Backup Bear”, but fortunately have never needed to call him into service.

A friend and I were climbing/camping/hitchhiking in the Four Corners area back in the 80's. After a long day hiking through the desert we made our way to a desolate highway start hitching home. We both agreed that a beer would taste really good right then. Low and behold next to the side of the road we found a half…

AKA George Carlin. The Hippy Dippy Weatherman. RIP.

How many readers here have ever put fire crackers under their recently completed model cars or strapped one to the side of an Estes rocket. Sending your car into space is perfectly normal thing for a healthy American male to do.

Franz Klammer. Either I’m getting old, or you forgot the greatest downhill run of all time.

I know a couple of people who have tried to get on Jeopardy! They all did well on the pre-screening and testing. They were surprised when they weren’t picked. I asked, did you shower before the interview? Shave? Put on a nice shirt and tuck it in? Their response was vacant stares. Back in the day, my mother was on…

This picture is all kinds of FUV and I don’t even know what that stands for.

Having had a few concussions myself, I am hesitant to make light of it, but Cam takes more shots to the coconut than a Rock’em Sock’em Robot. I wonder if it is something about his stance, or reluctance to duck, but even on a normal tackle he seems to get a head shot everytime

CP for me. Appears the air bags have been deployed.
