I’d just like to point out that 6 generations is getting into “we were here before the state was” territory.

Beat me to it. :D

And what are the odds that he learned absolutely nothing from the experience? 6 months from now he’ll likely be telling the story “This dump truck came outta nowhere as I was changing lanes and rammed me!”

And tailgating. Half the problems I see on the freeway (particularly around on-ramps) could be avoided if everyone maintained proper following distance.

You and me both.

Seriously, this. I mean they’re already going down in history as the ones who fucked up the Academy Awards and been banned by the Academy from participating again, done and done, leave them alone.

Word. I hate it when I see some dashcam video where there’s some horrible crash between an idiot and someone minding their own business and there’s NOTHING the innocent party could have done to avoid it. Ones where the idiot loses control and flies into oncoming traffic, (or onto a sidewalk) or bounces off one car and…

Political correctness gone amok is killing comedy! Comedians need to be able to tell any joke they want and anyone who’s offended should get over themselves and not watch!

It was an understandable misread of Warren Beatty’s confusion given the tendency of presenters to goof around a bit so they can build tension.

And if the county does say anything about it you can say “Whelp, guess you’d better put up a guardrail, huh?”

Midsomer Murders is fun though because it sticks to the cozy mystery tropes. The network procedurals are just tired, depressing crapfests that exist to feed the crime and terrorism fears of elderly conservatives.

Yeah I think it’s OK to feel bad for a 79 year old guy who didn’t know how to react when he found himself in the middle of an unprecidented fuckup on live TV in front of a huge audience.

The place I worked we got dinged once for having hand soap too near the vegetable washing sink. It was a small kitchen so the two sinks were not that far apart, but the inspector said that the soap dispenser being reachable from the vegetable sink made it unclear that the sink was not to be used for hand washing. We…

A 50 is “Used raw chicken to set up an obstacle course on the tables for cockroach races.”

My wife had one of those as her first car when we were in college together. (In gold no less, we called it the Golden Dragon) She had a few stuffed animals in the rear window, and early in our last year of school I and a few other friends started jimmying the locks every so often and adding more stuffed critters one…

I remember that one, sooo satisfying.

I once spent an interesting hour at a wedding reception talking to the father of the groom about his outlaw biker days (He and the mother of the groom were long divorced with good reason) including a discourse on how to get tailgating cars off your ass using a long piece of chain. He claimed that back in the day he…

This is anecdotal so I’m not putting it in as an actual entry, but a friend claimed to have something similar happen to him. He said the perpetrator made the mistake of leaving their car unlocked, so later that night the cops found the car double parked on the street with the door hanging open and a bunch of empty…

I had a similar incident back in the day. I was driving a LeBaron Convertible and for some damn reason I seemed to attract racing challenges. I never took them because come on, Lebaron Convertible. But once I was on a city street when a guy kept trying to drag race me from one light to the next. He’d rev and look over…

I had a similar one many years ago during a bad winter. Driving on a busy main street with parallel parking, I was going about 30 and being tailgated when I realized that one of the parked cars was hanging significantly further out than it should have been. (because snow) There was another lane of traffic so I had…
