I particularly like "dud on there hands," in the very first sentence. Jesus.

Actually, that suits a lot (by no means all) of the cops I've known to a T.

Ha! Thanks for the tip, but I'm already getting to the far side of middle aged. Young wife, though.

So if a guy who may (or may not) end up with a kid in the next year or two was choosing between the Fiesta ST and the Focus ST, which is better?

Men take Clomid, too. In women, it increases the level of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), which causes her eggs to drop. In men, the FSH boost helps stimulate sperm production if the man's natural sperm count is too low for conception.

Well, OK then. thanks!

I think if someone asked me in for an interview, then expected me to sit silently while they looked at my resume "for a good 5-10 minutes," I'd get up and leave. I'd think they weren't prepared to talk to me, or, worse, were playing head games with me. And I'm not interested in dealing with either of those in a boss.

I think the thing that amazed me the most about jail the first time I went (for a 24-hour stay in Arizona's infamous Tent City), was that, for a lot of people, there's nothing weird about the government locking you up in a room with a bunch of other undesirables. It's just the way those people spend their weekends.

SO MUCH better looking. I'll take mine in BRG, please.

I've shared this image on Deadspin before, out of scorn. Tonight I'm sharing it out of affection.

I had a Mark IV GTI VR6 for 10 years. It was totally fine. I do know some people that got bad VWs of this vintage, but I think that gets overblown a lot around here.

In the summer of 1996, I was in Flagstaff, Arizona, driving past a place called (I think) The Lodge. There were about 20 of these things sitting out front, so I popped in for a look. A whole gaggle of (former) East Germans had shipped their Trabants over here so they could drive them the length of Route 66. Had a…

I read once that the Impulse was originally drawn by Giugiaro to be the 2nd generation Scirocco. But then VW decided they wanted something done by their in-house designers, so Giugiaro sold the design to Isuzu.

I've owned five VWs (two Sciroccos and three GTIs), and they've all been fine. Not as trouble-free as a Honda or Toyota, I'd say, but nothing out of hand. My '91 GTI with the Digifant injection was the worst of the lot, but even it wasn't a trainwreck.

Jesus. Really, dude?

I get it, and I agree with you. Still, the organizers can't prove a negative, and even if they could, "he would've died anyway" is not a great look for the courtroom, where this certainly will end up.

Sorry, but no. This is a major event and has been for a long time. No reason not to have medical at the top and the bottom, at a minimum. That some competitors may not "expect" the barest of adequate safety measures is no excuse for skipping them to save a nickel.

Well, a few years ago, I went to Maui, where gas was ~$5 a gallon. The day after I got back, my ex and I had to run up to Aspen—and gas cost 50 cents a gallon more there than it had on Maui the day before.

I really hate to be THAT GUY, but Durango was great- about 20 years ago. Now it's gotten so tony and expensive that when I'm there I feel like I took a wrong turn and ended up in Aspen. It is beautiful, of course, and convenient in all the ways you mention.

My God, thank you. Thank you. I'm not usually a spelling nazi but just kept going on and on and on...
