So Mexico makes trolling videos trying to pump themselves up to win a game whereas 99% of our population old enough to not include juice-boxes in their daily fluid intake don’t even know that we’re going to be playing them. It’s like the neighborhood wannabe drag racer revving his Chevy Cavalier beside me at a…

Is he crapping in his pants there?

So she has two jets; one for each brain cell?

I loved the original Battletech story line with the fall of the Inner Sphere and the value of Lostech. It had all the coolness of giant fightin’ mecha without the Anime penchant for pop singers and talking animals. I think it would make a great movie so long as they write it like the background stories from the old…

So if a little Jalop Duck were to waddle into a local CarMax, test drive a, say 2013 Honda Accord and about the time they get ready to make an offer say “I know Doug DeMuro” what would that get me?

Nice write up, great car. But I still can’t get past the giant vagina on the nose.

Oh , fuck any and all the stupid clan bros. Give me Team Banzai and a couple Overlords full of Hatchetmen; we’ll mop up your invasion right proper.

well the bike rider just bumped her car with his Ulock, right?

why would you forgo the many, many advantages of a centrally mounted driver’s position on a single-person 4wheel vehicle? Aside from weight distribution, crash protection, etc, etc, etc will your pilot really want to be eating every little bit of debris thrown up by that front left tire?

I know an awful lot of white dudes who live in the mountains, too. Skiing, climbing, biking, all are part of the life for someone who happens to be around those big peaks regardless of color. Now, whether or not a “non-white” person would be welcomed in the back country I don’t know. I’d like to think they would be.

Do you consider this dude to be “white people”? Cause the sherpas are the foremost mountaineers in the world:

I think you’re meaning “scumbags”. In this usage, “dirtbags” refers to outdoors/alpine type people.

Willie, is that you??

God that was a stupid addition to that story line.

“The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things…

I’ve had this exact law on my books since about ‘88:

So not this, then?

Provenance?

That makes Orion a developmental project. Make something that allows us to go into the single most dangerous, least forgiving environment humans have experienced, spend a significant amount of time out in it, gathering information not just on the target but also on the day to day operation of the vehicle, then use…
