I did 21 hours on Qantas in economy. In fairness, 4 hours were sitting on the ground. Still better than the leg on American from Chicago to LA.

Grid girls. Only they’re curiously hairless men with gelled-up hair and tiny speedoes. Let’s see how “integral to the experience” they are then.

Absolutely- my brother in law rides one, and he’s a dear man. But you’re missing the point- it’s not that all Harley riders are these assholes; rather, it’s that the Harley Lifestyle has become intimately associated with the asshole contingent and H-D has actively catered to the “My Hog My Rules”/ “Bike Size is a…

IMPORTANT PRO TIP: Eat the big sandwich BEFORE you put on the dress shirt and tie.

Cheez Whiz is a war crime.

The company has survived by building an Image and a Lifestyle around its products. That image and lifestyle largely appeal to a segment of the American population that is obnoxious and hostile to the rest of the American populace. The company jumped wholeheartedly in bed with these assholes and became a symbol, which…
