I’m a big fan of Cabover trucks, and have been ever since I first started wrenching on them back in the ‘80s. They have their advantages, but also their disadvantages. The big disadvantage is climbing in and out of the things. It’s not so bad for an over-the-road truck, but for anything where you’re jumping in and out…

Trucking company I used to work for had one of those. It was an enormous piece of shit, but most of that was because it was 30 years old and had been abused its entire life. No horsepower, 9 speed, and cramped.

The original was, of course, “There’s nothing in the rule book that says an elephant can’t pitch!”

Okay.  You got me with that one.

I knew General Zod was from Philly.

I’m looking forward to the day when a talented black woman can be a writer for a primarily white cast and have it not be news.

Thank you for ruining my lunch.  🤮

It’s been said before, by myself and people smarter than me, that Trump is a poor man’s idea of wealth, a classless person’s idea of class, and a loser’s idea of success. He appeals to the poor and classless because if they were rich they’d buy the same kind of crap that he does. He appeals to losers because they…

I think 6'1" is giving him far too much credit.  Perhaps with is lifts in his shoes.

I have no desire to sully my hands by shaking with him, but I do have a fantasy where I get the opportunity and he tries that shit with me. The fantasy includes me nutting him in the nose with my forehead.

I know!  Right?

Intermeshing rotors are just freaking cool.

On the subject of little old ladies and tire pressure.

We’re friends?

I never said it was a good idea.
