My father’s first marriage cost the $500 the rabbi charged to come in and perform the ceremony. His second marriage (to my mother) cost whatever the court filing fee was. Also, I was there, but that’s another story for another time. My sister had an extravagant wedding... where both families went camping and her…

I could see there being something to that. I’m sure not all members are monsters, or at least not all were before this last year. Then again, it’s not like this non-WASP had any problems.
This is amazing.
I saw someone in a bar the other weekend who had a shirt with that pattern printed on it. I keep wondering if that’s something you can buy or if he had it printed special. I thought it was incredibly dorky, but the woman I was with that evening — who is far more fashionable than I am — assured me that it was retro…
That’s really interesting. There was a Top Gear where they discussed that the landed gentry’s old Lang Rovers were starting to die, and that the logical replacement was a Subaru. I thought they were kidding at the time.
A Subaru?
Yes: a twin-turbo V8 diesel is an option on the 4S. 0-60 in 4.3s. 42mpg (Euro cycle). It’s “only” got 422 hp, but 627 lb-ft of torque at 1000 rpm. That’s more than any half-ton truck, and many 3/4 ton ones.
Gorgeous wagon available with a twin-turbo V8? I might just be able to forgive that it won’t have a manual transmission.
My old car was worth something like $1k. When I’d leave my laptop bag in it, it tripled in value. If I had my work computer in there too, it was a factor of six. My last year of regularly driving it, I decided I was sick of CDs and put a $200 head unit in so I could connect my phone, which was pretty silly in…
My friend’s wife’s Vera Wang wedding dress cost $40,000.
I agree with EL_ULY: you are the f’ing best, Jason! I think this might be the weirdest article I’ve read on Jalopnik in my two-ish years here, and I look forward to whatever you use to top it.
My understanding is that in taxonomy, a racial separation is understood to be a step on the road to speciation, but what we consider different ‘races’ of humans don’t have anywhere near the required level of physiological difference on either the genotypical or phenotypical level.
As a Yankee now living in the South, I have to admit that the openness of the racism is somewhat refreshing. Horrifying, but at least you know it’s there for sure instead of guessing.
Since a drysuit typically costs 5-10x as much as a wetsuit, I’d have just let her buy it and moved on with my day.
Isn’t that how Canada’s system works? It seems to be ok there, though I admit that their politics are pretty alien to ours.
