There is at least one instance of restroom graffiti here in Denver that calls it correctly:

COTD?  Shit, not Jalopnik.

Please have someone tell Mike Leach to “Stick to Sports”.

Came for this; leaving satisfied.

I believe, based on people I grew up around in Texas, it is somehow, in some places acceptable to pronounce it as “Cummings.”  I shudder just writing that.

“Imagine, though, being one in (likely, based on Ram pickup sales) hundreds of thousands of people—how special it would feel. Out of all of the Ram trucks out there, you got the broken one. You can sure pick ‘em well.” Read more

My ‘83 CJ-7 (258) had both tubes, which ran into the bottom of the air cleaner housing, and were (per Rev. Haynes) the pulse-air injection system. They went to the exhaust pipe bung and the cat., just as you have shown. Despite any number of generalists, but not Jeep people, suggesting that I was supposed to have had a… Read more

That Oregon Trail is a shit place to live.

Jesus, Nick Martin, if you had a cat that already had the thing and was playing with it, you could have simply let the cat do what it was born to do - kill things.

For those of us who live in cities where you can actually daily a truck, a current full-size truck is a liability to nav… Read more

Paging Tom McParland? There’s no way the ideas from WCSIB could be worse then POStal. And Torch will have some awesome oddball to toss into the mix

Neutral: As I age, I become less absolutist - but on the issue of trade, I’m retrograde. I think the answer is “almost never.” We already have them in the form of the Chicken Tax, and now we all agree the (big) trucks are too damn expensive. Tariffs are never consequence-free, and the only time trade sanctions work is… Read more

Isn’t it “choad”?  Have I been wrong for 25+ years?

“I know what you’re thinking - and you’re right. That voice in my head was telling me that Icepick was onto something with the tail number. Maybe T.C. and I could get a closer look a the airstrip with a well-played rouse.”
