I use to be an indirect lender for Bank of America. I financed more vehicles than any other single individual in N. America during my time, some $1 billion in loan originations. Extended warranties are rarely worth what the buyer pays for them and nearly all dealers laugh when you buy them behind your back. They…

LOL, I think you're right.

Hey "guys", this shit has been going on forever. People like this guy have existed in all generations. I was one at one point in my life, a James Spader from Pretty in Pink type of character. We grow out of it, eventually. Now, I'm so down to Earth that I'm often mistaken for an aging hippie.

The iPhone is actually the largest selling smartphone in Japan, and as others have pointed out, Samsung is Korean.

I only seem to post to instigate a pile on? Before you were complaining that I didn't post often enough and rhetorically asked why I had been absent all year? I'm not sure what I've done to deserve this bit of venom. I post the occasional rant, but I've also posted some of the most viewed posts on Whitenoise (I've…

By the way, there is a shared story, not a link, on the first page of WN from Lauren. I note the irony too that she wrote:

k2b, there are cross posted content all over Gawker blogs, and I did write my own post along with the article. I could have easily posted a link, which is what I thought I was doing, but I was unaware that my sharing to WN in the manner that I did would import the whole article over. However, I still don't see a…

k2b, the tradition of whitenoise is to express an opinion, or discuss anything one likes within community standards. Sharing a Jezebel (Gawker article) and expressing an opinion on what I find objectionable is a time honored whitenoise tradition. If you were trying to avoid the article, why did you click on my cross…

Now that we've regulated all the long time, decade long time in my case, Gawker commenters to the grey area for some troll that just appeared on Jezebel, can we get certain sexist authors banned to the grey area too?

Bring back the star commenters would be a good start. Pinkies would be invisible to the general public. I don't know why Gawker decided to do away with us, but I think it was a mistake. I was never starred on Jezebel, but on other Gawker sites. Give the new star commenters the ability to place users in a ban…

Omri Casspi….here's a factoid for you..600 missiles and no deaths. How you like them Apples?

The dead cannot respond.

Couple of Trivia Bits:

No.

No matter whom is at fault, one thing is certain. The Lambo driver will have a better lawyer than the Mazda driver.

Make this under $50,000 and I'll buy it. I might even buy two.

My area started seeing the Brood II's emerge in late April. They are now at full force and they fly haphazardly during the hours of 10 am to about 4pm and stop flying around 7pm. Some of the early ones are starting to die out now, I call them floppers. I'm hoping they are gone by mid June in my region because its…

Let's not blame this on all of Tennessee. This is the work of conservative Republicans.

You're not very bright. I worked for the Secret Service as an agent for a number of years. When I started, the salary for new agents was $28,000 a year. There would be no more than 3 agents on the children's detail.

Nah, just responding to your insatiable need to have the last word.
