British were also ingenious in the 1st gulf war, with the ‘no alcohol due to being a muslim country’ rules. When they were told they could not bring gin, they said fine. Their shampoo was unusually clear.

No one knows what winning in afghanistan is, since they were invaded in the 1980s, and essentially have been at war (either externally against another country , or in a civil war) ever since. An author i read described it this way, “They have been at war for so long, their economy is basically based on war. You have…

I was taking the thread seriously. State of Maryland definitely takes the war of 1812 seriously, as they have it on their license plate, even though the rest of the country has no idea that war even happened. Anyway, i appreciated Mr. RevengencerAlf providing some background info. And this is the unicorn of Jalopnik…

Thanks for the info. I see those wierd Maryland “war of 1812" plates, and have always wondered wtf that was about. I used to think it was some tiny war that Maryland won on behalf of the US, but no one noticed, so now Maryland is like, “give us some props, MFs!”

Now i’m confused. 86Driver was driving in ‘86, when he was a baby?
; )

Want to piss off a gti owner? “That cabriolet looks pretty good with a hard top. And it’s great you’re not bothered by driving a chick car.”

It’s isn’t just swapping out the patty. Impossible meat is very expensive. The impossible meatball sandwich in a nearby restaurant costs $15.00. I would be amazed if they could price this below 8 dollars for the sandwich alone.

You can send your alcohol reporter resume to me! There will be a follow up interview* at a bar, and i can tell you now, i left my wallet at home.
*Note: i don’t own a newspaper or media outlet, but you can still be my employee, and tell me about beers you like. Our company meets at (you guessed it!) a bar, and company…

Exactly. i get two dollars worth of day dreams when the jackpot gets big. I spend money on poker, but genuinely enjoy the competition, even if i don’t do well.

Amazing what a country can do with vending machines when their population doesn’t feel the need to vandalize nearly anything of value. It is a virtually a constitutional right in the USA to hit a vending machine if it malfunctions in the least.

Thanks for a great reply. Our dog did in fact father many offspring, we suspect. He would go off for a few days occasionally, and somehow we knew it was because there was a dog in heat somewhere. When the attractive siren was close by, we would usually get a call from a neighbor asking us to get our dog.  When we…

Counter counterpoint: Don’t read a car blog that obviously catering to people who feel their overbought cars are indeed precious. 

Older people with arthritic hands would not approve of your “bar across the handle for breaks” improvement.

I noticed the lack of bumpers on their prototype. I think making it actually have a sharp pointy front was a bit excessive. (Additionally, acutely angled triangle design really lends itself to wacking people’s ankles as you scoot past them!) Ford really thought this thing out!

I don’t think a coin return cart idea would work in the US. “Make me deposit a dollar, then make me walk the cartall the way back to get it?!?! I am causing $50 dollars of damage on this cart, just to show ya!”

Fast and Furious, Deposition! An intense docu-drama addressing individual owner rights vs. purchasing contract validities!

random memories ... Tower records would always have the latest Queen and Led Zeppelin album for my sister to buy, as soon as it was released, in 1970's.* If albums at that time had been marked somehow that they were first edition printing, we would have made a fortune.
*Fun fact, we had a 15 year old dog who would…

Apparently this is a Korean horror movie! 

Yea, not only that, but after the cameras stopped rolling, the real culprit was revealed....
