you used ‘craven’ in a sentence in modern times with no hint of irony or self awareness. I’m... I’m so very very sad for you.

so.... what you’re saying is... It’s premature to really call Florida a swing state in future elections, right?

I wouldn’t have commented but for the massively out of proportion vitriol spewed by KT on her otherwise regularly scheduled ‘whine of the week’. That being said, your point is duly noted as technically correct, which is, as we all know, the best kind of correct.

considering you’re angry enough to give them the free press of an update, I think they did a pretty good job of accomplishing their goal. To be honest, they really don’t have to say anything about the episode. We’d all watch if it the synopsis were “man sticks finger up butt of another man,” which in fairness,…

jasus, do the women’t outfits come in cup size?

I was 11 when this movie came out and the death of Optimus is something you’d never see with that sort of gravity in a modern kids movie. it stuck with me in a way that no other movie ever has, except possibly The Black Hole, which my parents took me to when I was 4, thinking it was a little kids movie.

have we all accepted that DC animated movies are just across-the-board BETTER than any of the live action variants? I mean, every time I see a DCU live action movie announced, I kind of sneer. When I hear it’s DCAU, I check the date and wait.

I’m actually fairly well invested in the brand: currently in my driveway are a 2006 A3, a 2013 A4, and a 2015 S4. I’ve had extensive seat time in the current A3 and I’ve driven the S3 at length - twice (because I wanted to give it a second chance after disliking it the first time). So yeah, talking out of my ass, but…

the cost delta here for the S3 vs. the Golf R (comparably equipped) is about $5k-$7k, depending on how you define ‘comparably equipped’. You could add in stupid stuff like the fact that Audi wants you to fork over $575 for any color except black, or that they want $400 to paint the calipers red

Because it’s not that different and I agree with you. The S4 is a 335 competitor, not an M3 competitor, but it was still something special. Audi has eroded that away to the point that it’s as non-special as could possibly be; it’s an engine option, nothing more. the escat same thing as when you opt for the V6 in a…

it’s not an S4. It’s just an A4 with an A6 motor and the sport suspension/trim. They really should just call it the A4 3.0T. Given Audi’s nonsense, I’d be willing to bet folding money that they went turbo just to keep the 3.0T badge identical to the rest of the 2.0T/2.5T/4.0T series. (I’m only half-kidding - they’re…

I love picking out the theme of the episode. there always seems to be one. For this one, it seemed like ‘going home’ was the theme. Whether it was Arya trying to get back to Westeros, or the Hound getting back to his nature, or Theon going back to who he was, Jon going back to Winterfell, Sansa going back to…

Look, a white Chrysler LeBaron convertible is explicitly noted in the frankly magnificent Cake song “Short Skirt Long Jacket”. I’ll allow it.

he should have Kragled it.

I have to disagree. the Tesla is a far FAR better looking version of the same form factor. I’m not a huge fan of the Audi A7 silhouette, but when a RS7 rings in Panamera money, I like it a lot better than the Panamara. I would also argue that the BMW 6 Series GT sedan is also far better looking.

no, it’s really that bad in person, too. There’s a few of them in the office lot and they’re just homely cars.

that’s a ridiculous amount to pay for a costume.

classic VAG; someone comes up with a good idea. Rather than take part in that idea, let’s build our own version of the exact same thing - from scratch- and then plot to take over the world with it. Never mind being years behind the R&D curve or that it’ll cost billions in dollars and lost time to come up with…

NP.

good episode and a lot to process.
