Benedict Arnold? Traitor!

Lay off the man. He had the vision and foresight to see that signing Kevin Durant was a good idea this off-season while every other team was doggedly chasing after Arron Afflalo.

I feel bad, because what he can do is really damn impressive, but when I got to this part:

I think they had a design team that came up with a handsome, if unoriginal, car design, and there’s that one guy high up at the company that everyone has to pander to that came in and said, “BORING! What if we added some black and orange accent here and here, and how about a long streak of it here. Now that, folks, is

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.
