I knew about the keep right thing coming from wagons, but I always heard it was because the brake lever was located on the left side of the wagon in order to allow the (mostly) right-handed drivers to pull it with their dominant hand, and, as with the whip story, they needed to pass on the right to make sure they were…

The first thing I thought about when I started reading the article was The Screaming Skull and its promise of a free coffin that Tom Servo eventually ties to fraudulently collect on. That movie was more weird than scary.

I actually started in the field. Working summers between high school and then college years. It really teaches you a lot about what is actually possible and what’s not. For example: conduit can’t go through structural steel. So, if there’s a bulkhead the architect has detailed with drywall on the bottom of an I-beam…

I never really understood the whole “you have to be ticketed to go through security” in the first place. The very reason the TSA created was in response to the 9/11 attacks, and all of the hijackers were legitimate passengers. If you’re worried about someone not getting on a plane doing something, they could always…

This thing looks fun, creative, and a blast to drive or ride on!

I’ve only driven in the snow on all-seasons. Now before you tell me how much of an idiot I am, let me clarify that I’ve lived my entire life below the Mason-Dixon line, so, winter tires aren’t worth the 5 or 6 times we might see a measurable snow fall before it melts away in a day or so.

Yeah, I can see Snoop being a vegetarian, since replacing meat with plant works for vegetarians as well. But, I get the feeling if he was vegan, he’d mention it more often than just doing paid promotions.

Perhaps in your case it’s best not to smoke and Kinja, considering you just replied to a pun with a philosophical argument.

Song of the South sits in a unique spot: something we should be able to see to remind us of casual racism and yet something the copyright owner never wants to see the light of day because it would receive scorn for releasing it. Even if Disney were to release a public domain version and scrub the name “Disney” from…

In Virginia, the liquor distributor is the state. While that may seem like a bad thing, the good news is they are the liquor stores, so it’s actually a two-tier system if you buy at retail. The other nice thing is that while I’m sure the stores were set up by some religious conservatives trying to crack down on the…

I have the perfect use for my small whisk: when my parents come to visit [the grandson] and my mom wants to make eggs. My mom has always made scrambled eggs with a fork. Which is fine for most people, but I prefer my scrambled eggs to be devoid of as much white spots as possible and a fork doesn’t cut it for that. So,…

+1 IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

The real head scratcher is here:

I have a dashcam that has a backup camera mode built in (and comes with the camera). I didn’t mean to come over to their promotion site to talk anyone out of buying the advertised product, but I’d recommend going that route if you want both without putting 2 screens on your car. Although, admiringly, the screen is…

This guy’s over on Tinder with the “half your age plus 7" rule written on a Post-it while he’s swiping.

Congrats Jim! In the spirit of $kaycog, I can think of no better prize for your COTD than this: A van DOWN BY THE RIVER!

Everyone’s talking about CGI Sonic and I’m just over here thinking Jim Carey is probably going to be what everyone talks about after seeing the movie.

He makes some great points, but as others have pointed out here, the reasons are a little over-the-top and unlikely to be useful to most drivers.

I wish they would have made “The Grand Tour” voice permanent. I mean, it’s a show about cars, and who doesn’t want Hammond telling you in completely technical detail how to preform a U-turn (“that’s where you turn the car completely around”)?
