Clover, if you want to stick to sports, you need to work at Deadspin. This site is only for wimmin’s stuff, whatever that is. 

Usually, one has to pay someone to remove junk from their yard or garage; one doesn’t ask to be paid for the privilege of throwing out the trash. Donate this thing to a charity, let them sell it for parts value, and be done. CP. 

By raising the bridge a whopping 20 cm. The calls to Lower The Road ignore all they reasons why they can’t. And, yes, doofuses are going to ram that damn bridge some more, even with an extra few inches of clearance.

Can I bring an action under the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Act (MVSRA) to enjoin the Jalopnik/Gizmodo/Kinja media empire from blasting all these auto-playing videos on every damn page? If nothing else, the legal logic would be no more questionable than that described in the case discussed in this story.

Wow, it’s almost as if the people who run car dealerships aren’t very bright. I’m shocked. 

Nine hours in a business class seat, with people bringing me food and drinks, and having the time to read, think, sleep, or stare off into space, sounds like living my best life right now. Sign me up. 

This is just excellent long-form sports journalism. Keep it coming. 

Even the London Underground knows that having half the riders stand, while others walk, actually reduces the throughput of the escalators. Bottom line: walkers make the system inefficient and slow for everyone. 

Ever been to the DC Metro? If you don’t let the walkers buy you get the stink eye from about half the riders. There are people who think climbing the damn thing at DuPont Circle or Roslyn (deep stations with long escalators) is some sort of macho ritual. 

Exactly. I was hella confused by that photo. 

This is one of those stories where I tried to star it with a ha-ha emoticon, like on Facebook, but Kinja offers no such option. If ever there was a time to implement this. Perhaps getting it going before Snyder gets jailed for tax fraud or some RICO beef?

I voted NP with my heart, not my head. I find these Volvos strangely beautiful. I’d buy this but I don’t have a garage so I’d ruin it. Sigh. 

I don’t think he can show his ugly mug after getting impeached. I copied this from Wikipedia, but it’s from the Constitution (my bold). Of course, this has never been tested. Love the part about how they can haul him into court afterward.

some overly ambitious political newcomers...

I guess a car there is a rare site. As rare, I imagine, as a copyeditor at a newspaper. 

Need to knock off a grand just for the cost of removing all the Star Wars crap.

This is a pretty common frequent flyer tactic, and it sometimes works. But, wow, with the number of empty seats on planes these days (few) I don’t know how often this really works any more. 

Re Bush: You confused them, somehow, with Stone Temple Posers. The band that couldn’t decide if wanted to rip off Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Nirvana. That band sucked, and was overrated. 

Oh, that’s true. I totally don’t mind sitting in the middle when I fly with my wife. And when my kids were little, I’d sit between them. They don’t take up much room! (To their credit, my kids are fantastic flyers, as long as the IFE works. They think it’s a treat to watch unlimited movies.)
