I think I love the South African ruling on BMW spare parts.

I started eating more just hearing about aluminum construction.

Ah, the MB butthurt has arrived. Good; we were running low.

Breach of public trust and abuse of power. Yeah, can't just let that go. Needs some punishment and a visible response from the department. But did someone run over a baby on this adventure? What could possibly justify going after his pension?

All I really want to express is "+1," but the algorithm likes it when you use a lot of words. And pictures or video. Not sure how it feels about NSFW.

Could you see her cooter?

That is a staggering amount of revision to cover the fact that Lucas didn't know what the hell a parsec was.

I think not. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have any Olympic sport for which a gold medal wasn't the highest achievement in the sport. Who the hell wants to watch Olympic basketball?

Great list. 2 quibbles:

Praise be to Orlove! Humor returns!

Aren't we still waiting, months and months later, for this guy to bless us with his conclusive proof of UA in the Prius? Or do I smell pants burning?

Unless that suit is really dense or improves aero in some non-obvious way, I can't imagine it has more than trivial effect on terminal velocity.

Very unlikely.

I'm having trouble following you. Are you saying that Almendinger's going to look really bad if we find out he tried to minimize meth by calling it a stimulant but not so bad if it turns out to be cocaine?

I suspect that Almendinger is currently trying to cook up the best story he can to show lack of culpability or intent. That should be useful in shortening the reinstatement process. Once he has his own tests done, if he has been telling us the truth, I suspect he'll announce loudly what the substance was an his…

"Meth" as in "methamphetamine." Stimulant is its primary effect.

Hate.

Yes, I have seen several in person, and while I would agree that it has nice proportions in the metal, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN AWKWARD DESIGN. That was almost certainly the result of committee. F U, my friends, seeing it in person doesn't help it. It's simply not a coherent design.

I should probably say something like, "To each his own," or "To my eye it looks very awkward."

Pre-crime, in other words. Actually, it's pre-pre-crime.
