I can't help but think that people who attach this accessory to their truck must have some sort of fascination with male genitalia. The equipment that they were born with is not enough; they want to be surrounded by junk.

Nobody says "don't be knowin nothin." It would be "don't know nothin." Although you won't find them in a grammar book, Black English has rules.

Yes, such a shock when hockey players aren't the most stylish people in the room.

Ariel Atom?

I'd like to collide w/her.

Wildcat formation.

There will be plenty of disappointed meteorologists and a healthy number of shark biologists. Other than that, nada.

'Twould be cooler if it was the ashes of a long-deceased bowler.

I was under the impression that it was a bail and wicket. (Note a "bail," which is part of the wickets, rather than a "ball".) My source for this is an English friend who has a DVD of highlights from The Ashes.

The number for the Connecticut Burn Center is 203-384-3728.

Staunton is nowhere near the top of the podunk list. It's a small town for sure, but there's some artsy folks in the area and it's considered a good place to raise a family.

I think that coal plants significantly contribute to the problem. They have emissions standards for power plants built after 1/1/12 that are similar to EU standards. After 2015 all power plants (existing or new) will have to be on this standard.

Perhaps everyone is staying low because the air is better close to the ground.

Boo to the weak beer, though.

If they had made the manual transmission available for the first gen IS300 SportCross I may have bought one.

I don't disagree with your take on cultural differences. But there have been a number of studies in the past ten years that show that upward mobility in America is among the worst when compared to other industrialized nations in the west. See:

I was a daily MARTA rider for 10 years. It worked well because I could park at a station on the Blue (East-West) Line and take the train downtown for work and school. But if your destination is not walking distance from a station (which is most of Atlanta) then MARTA is often a bad alternative.

For real. And then after he hits the cow, he neglects to move to the shoulder. It appears that this young driver has much to learn.
