“having one less extreme fine dining experience per month,”

If you have the wealth to own a residential property worth more than 20 million dollars, there is no level of taxation that will have any effect whatsoever on the quality of food you eat.

That’s the thing about wealth, there is nothing at all for which the…

Awesome. Years ago (89 or 90) I saw an RS200 on the road, in late afternoon; there was a light rain, it did not have the headlights on, it was white (did they come in any different color?).

I understand how other people are just not as thrilled with this tale as I was with the experience.

But, it was a special…

Surely regularly operating a vehicle within what is considered normal parameters prolongs it’s life. Idleness, sloth, these things hastens their demise.

hahahahaha not enough stars for this.

The number of times I’ve had to delete thoughtful, scathing, indignant, sarcatic replies because on second read they look just too much like reality lately

Wonderful.

Isn’t the point of a strike that you can’t be fired? Hard to replace the labor in an entire industry/region.

“The main thing the mechanics want is a guaranteed 40-hour work week”

Because businesses spend a lot of money dicking people’s schedules around to avoid qualifying them for benefits. 

A person could have kicked holes in those tires.

Did someone say hedges?

I’d like the TSA to please point out the clause in the second amendment which which negates the phrase “shall not be infringed” just because you go to the airport.

A bar serving fancy beer opened next to my work about 10 years ago. From them I learned that bars in Oregon are not required to have a kitchen/sell food if they don’t sell hard alcohol.

They don’t care if I bring food from a cart, potato chips from the corner store or even the lunch I packed at home.

It’s fantastic.

“I’d hate to find out they are agents of intolerance”

I’d have thought that about fans/producers of bourbon in general. (but I’m biased against the confederacy)

My family loves me, but we’re poor...so in the end it’s the same thing really.

I had a housemate after college whose surname name was actually Islam. We hung out at gay clubs, drank booze, popped pills, ate bacon and he married an Irish girl. (quite funny, because on a trip to Ireland we dropped her off like 2 blocks from her house, and even then he was going 2 or 3 times a year to meet girls…

Fucking proddy scum.

I forget where I read it (Clarkson in the Times perhaps?) but the primary reason for German car reliability and Italian lack thereof was the likelihood of perishing from exposure in northern Europe if your car broke down.
