And on top of that, it’s just not impressive. I mean, think of the weight savings this kid has.

Did you know that Michael Jackson did not invent a teleportation device for his halftime show? It was actually cloning device, and each old clone was murdered when the new clone appeared. I was fooled.

So it’s not still the case that directions to anywhere always include “when you come to the abandon factory” somewhere in them?

This goes back to 1990, when he somehow convinced Marv Levy to hardly run the ball until near the end of the game even though the Giants were practically conceding it and Thurman Thomas was one of the best backs in the game.

Randy Moss would pout and quit if things weren’t going his way. That’s worse than obnoxious. I don’t recall TO ever quitting on his team.

I’m going to spoil the plot to the third episode in hopes you’ll watch, because it’s so fucking stupid and I feel more people should suffer. They basically go to Crazy Person Island Prison to see their sister, but it’s a trap, because she runs the place, and is just pretending to be a prisoner for kicks. How does she

That’s called the “Oh shit, I’m shooting vertical video. This’ll fix it.”

I mostly hate car chases, so I avoided watching Bullitt for a long time because I didn’t want to be that guy, but I actually ended up loving it. Well maybe not the chase so much, but the rear-view mirror gimmick which (I think) preceded the chase was fantastic film-making.

And way cooler than some dumb shark.

This made me think of Colditz Glider, which was built to escape a Nazi POW camp at Colditz Castle. All escape attempts were halted after the executions following the Stalag Luft III “Great”’ escape, so it never got its chance to fly. In the documentary below, they recreate the glider using the same ingenious prison

To get even more antiquated, emissions testing was done by holding a canary in front of the exhaust.

Do you need a safe space?

I drove a Miata once over 20 years ago, and it was the most fun I’ve ever had driving, even though my legs were wrapped around the steering wheel. I love driving small cars in general, but why can’t they make the goddamn seats go back farther. There’s nearly always space back there. I’m in my 40's now, and driving

I was with Billy when he died. It turns out he’d ingested a couple extra packets of sugar, felt really hot, and blamed the car next to him. Somebody caught him on their dashcam.

You’re right. Fixed. Just to be clear, for anyone who saw this before the edit, as far as I know, that fucker is OK.

I understand that “fucker” is not OK. But I always thought that adding the homey, comforting word “mother” humanized it to the point that it was acceptable for young ears. Am I running my day care wrong? “Snack time, mother fuckers.”

Don’t overlook forcing the daughter to marry her rapist. But it’s OK. The rapist is never allowed to divorce his victim. If only all marriages could start with such a solid foundation.

Everyone had character concerns about Dez, and he interviewed with plenty of other teams, yet they all managed to get their answers without going there.

If I’m interviewing someone for a job, even if I somehow knew for a fact that this persons father was a pimp and his mother was a prostitute, there’s just no way those subjects ever come up. It’s totally inappropriate. Judge a person by their own merits, not their parents.
