Horror movies about bodily transformation; the benchmark is established by early David Cronenberg films like THE BROOD, SCANNERS, THE FLY, THEY CAME FROM WITHIN, etc. usually with a little bit of sci fi and a lot of psychological horror.

A role that goes to Boseman isn’t necessarily a role taken away from someone else; without a leading man that producers are ready to bet millions of dollars on, the movie would not have been made, at all. Let’s not tear down Chadwick Boseman because he’s successful. Celebrate the fact that Boseman has been accepted…

The beauty of the internet is that we see only your words, not your skin, and in that context you come across as a humorless, oversensitive nag.

Once, some uncivilized dieter brought boneless, skinless chicken breasts to my aunt’s house, and she immediately called them boneless skinless flavorless ... the name we still call them, twenty years later.

The Barracudas, because they’re the only band that began an album with a commercial for the car they’re named after:

Arceneaux, your suffering is our salvation — I can’t stand to watch these hearings but your commentary is irresistible, you are an alchemist who transmutes obfuscation and deception into hilarity and snark.

Charleston County, a little ways out of your way, but if you search Google for photos “Low Country Travelers” it may inspire you to make the pilgrimage, because old-school cars, beautifully restored by old-school men seems totally on-mission.

Have an amazing trip! Are you going to visit the Low Country Travelers, South Carolina’s African-American retro car club?

Went to Honda dealer at a suburb tucked between Atwater and Pasadena, California (name obscured to protect the guilty) and asked if we could look at an all-wheel drive CRV in the LX (cheapest trim level.) The salesman said, they don’t make them, AWD is only on the higher trims. I said, they do make them, and I want…

To the Federal Penitentiary at Lompoc —- a great place to watch a rocket launch from adjacent Vandenberg Air Force Bast. 

For years, the left lane has been occupied by a well-organized conspiracy of Camry and Prius drivers who are trying to destroy the economy and suck all the joy out of driving.

Jill Stein’s narcissism makes Donald Trump look like The Buddha. She is a powerpoint presentation of ill-considered unattainable feel-good ideas, nothing more. The highest office she ever held was on the recycling committee in the town meeting of a New England town of white millionaires. (Look it up.) She hasn’t been…

I loved and envied that car until I test drove one and discovered that the massive engine contributed to a lack of involvement, and the sheer weight of the thing made twisties a bit tame. After seeing the first one it was my “grail” car but having been in one I realize how much more fun my Miata is in real driving on…

In 2007, another man and I were providing radio support and first aid for an off-road rally near Blythe, California. We finished at our first checkpoint and took a “shortcut” to our second checkpoint, going down something that looked like a road on the map but was in fact a river of sand.

I go through that intersection 5-10 times a week. The camera is on Western Blvd at Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, looking north. The Mustang crashed into the controversial half-built Target store.
