People who speak with “vocal fry”.

I’m a teacher and if I talk like that all day I’ll have laryngitis by the end of the week—and I am teaching people studying to be music teachers, so I try to make

It’s a really really poor cam rip but it’s the best ya can get right now.

Watch the ComicCon trailer and it shows him disfigured...”Ugh...You look like Freddy Kreuger face-fucked a topographical map of Utah.”

He stole the damn show. Him and Lillian.

You bet, it’s a 150W unit by RedArc that tops up the auxiliary battery which runs the fridge/freezer inside the car.

Is this a solar panel?

Even with a snorkel, it amazes me to know end that a combustion engine can continue to operate underwater while exposed to the elements like this.

I love all the competition in driving articles lately.

I wish we could get that body style here, so much easier to convert into a living space than my beloved 80
