As the car slides to a rest in the medium, take a moment to really appreciate your new perspective.

Mr. No Fun over here.

Because you all stopped buying them. Car manufacturers make whatever sells. SUV’s, trucks, crossovers are what sells so that’s what they are making. Manual transmissions just don’t sell enough unless it’s a specialty car.

Hate to burst your bubble, but there are a whole lot of dysfunctional, emotionally stunted human beings who are highly successful. Not just in small business or entertainment. I’ve known a few wheels-off attorneys who were frankly frightening when not in a client facing capacity, or when they were knocking back beers…

Translate to American, that really got me lol.

No, it was not. The family was really dysfunctional. Junior sued his father other this. They barely talked to each other in the next ten years. One of his old colleague also sued the father for some other story. Many show goes for fake drama, but this was real. The bikes were really cool but the many, MANY, disputes…

“isn’t it ‘interesting’ that Sarah Huckabee Sanders answered a question about racist police violence by going off on a wild, panicked tangent about the economy and border security?”

Australian Rules Football?

While we are briefly talking about cricket, let’s talk about Afghanistan. The Afghanistan team recently won the Cricket World Cup Qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe. The tournament consisted of 10 smaller cricketing nations vying for 2 spots in the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England. There was a lot of controversy…

I’m an Aussie who’s lived in the US for over 15 years.

Listen. Cricket is a huge international sport, and this scandal is an enormous deal for millions and millions of sports fans around the globe. But it might as well be written in Klingon or Quenya for all I am able to make sense of it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take it seriously! Just that I am utterly incapable…

Political cartoons always involve unflattering caricature. She’s a political figure. It’s fair game.

He doesn’t seem to be calling out her physical appearance in any particular way, though. It’s an unflattering depiction, but the most exaggerated element is the facial expression. I think it’s well within the normal range of political caricature, and frankly less demeaning than his treatments of Gowdy, Rubio, and…

He does actual paintings. But yes, these look like markers, not paint.

his paintings look like marker drawings. they are good, just don’t think the medium is paint

“how the hell an ethics professor misses the red lights”

Yeah, it’s equivalent to a Ouija board.

Talking out if one’s ass is so incredibly common that it is hardly a Lincoln-Kennedy level of coincidence.

Yeah, it was an entertaining, light read (and I typically don’t enjoy reveling in nostalgia). I liked it too and my bookshelf is full of classic literature and more complex modern fiction because I like to be challenged. I’m not so jaded that I have to pretend to hate anything that isn’t highbrow though.

The angst this book produces in those that hate it is so baffling to me. As a child of the 80's I found it to be a fun, silly romp that allowed my mind to spin up memories of days gone by. Now the chic thing to do is tear it down like its Dostoyevsky.
