Interestingly enough, though, there was no such thing as a “bit”. “Two bits” was 25 cents, so the 12.5 cent “bit” was conceptual only. Similarly, in pre-decimal Irish currency, we had a large “half-crown” coin worth 2 1/2 shillings, but there was no actual 5 shilling “crown”

The things that kept the Bartlet administration awake at night less than 20 years ago now seem quaint compared to the shit that is routinely glossed over with this current carnival

Looks splendid, if a little pricy, especially as no mileage provided (very mild CP). Still, a wonderful “slow car driven fast” ride with added lightness, and look at the visibility through that huge greenhouse! All things being equal, though, if I was splurging on an old GTI, I’d hold out for a 16V Mark II

this is also 3 liter

Looks like a decent price for an S2 in that condition, although I’d need to know more about what “restored” means in this context. That being said, I never liked the look of the 944 Cabrio - the arse looks too big, so I’ll say NP for someone, just not for me. An S2 coupe, on the other hand...

There’s shit in pipes under the street

Can’t be done without massive interruption - there are large sewer lines or something right under the asphalt. Similarly, raising the bridge would require regrading the rail lines for some significant distance either side of the bridge

Nah, they’d just administer daily enemas until he toed the line

Ram trucks have always screamed “douche” to me

Alex Jones, finally getting documentary proof of the New World Order and the Illuminati, was trying to get the info to Faux News

Kind of hard to compare dick size when neither of them could find his dick with a flashlight and a map. This “alpha bro-down" is about as burly as two bicycle racers throwing down - youtube will show you what I mean.

So it’s Donnie’s comments about Jeff Beauregard that are degrading the nation.....none of the myriad other stuff. Gotcha

was “Kampala Harris” a typo, autocorrect, or something else?

E28 M5 FTW

stay classy, Pennsyltucky

I think you’re assigning way too much significance to whatever difference in meaning there might be between “fast” and “quick”. The headline talks about the fastest lap in F1 history, which encompasses all of F1, including the short and long tracks. Given that there’s no “standard track length”, any interpretation of…

You may have been confused. I suspect that the rest of us understood it correctly. 

Given his diet, I’d say early November (right after election time)

That’s what Eric would say. The Dumb, it burns bright in that one...

Not really - the sheer magnitude, in terms of momentum, kinetic energy, what have you, of a moving body of air so greatly exceeds the mass of pretty much any sailboat that, regardless of the speed it attained, it wouldn’t get anywhere near the total amount of energy available
