Oh I love choose your own adventure stories! *turns to page 48* "you were hit by a car driven by Harambe!"...well damn.

This type of compassion and decency doesn’t even come at the expense of the letter of the law; it elevates the law.

In my sleep at 72, before my wife. That’s the dream. Old enough to say I wasn’t cheated. Young enough not to embarrass myself. If I get to pick, that’s the way I want it to happen. Plus I’ll scare the shit out of my wife. Heh heh. Good one, Pink Skull.

When you sit in a court of law day in and day out, it’s easy to forget that your litigants are human beings with lives outside of the justice system. Good on Judge Wolf for not forgetting and for not being afraid to sometimes let common sense prevail over the black letter law. She is a credit to the bar.

Wait. Is this story heartwarming or heartbreaking? On the one hand, it seems very sweet of the police to cook for these two and offer them a bit of company. On the other, I cannot get my own Italian grandparents (Nonno and Nonna) out of my head. They are alone in their house and I have never cooked THEM pasta! Nonna…

Is the song meant to galvanize the movement, or annoy the NYT people?

Like, could there be a more stereotypical song for Korean businesspeople to be rallying behind?

BUT WHAT IS HER FAVORITE SUPER HERO? Julian and her other fans need to know!

She’s an astonishing athlete. Watching her last night, I was just dumbfounded.

Exactly. I can’t believe people are harping on the comment rather than her superhuman longevity in the sport. She is absolutely unique in staying at an elite level for decades when the typical lifespan is a couple of years tops.

I can do a lot of illegal things with a car, but none of them are the dealers concern. Not to mention it should not be illegal to sell your vehicle for export in the first place, especially since the whole deal here seems to be protectionism of MB’s profits. If someone is willing to pay big bucks for a MB but cannot…

Screw that. If you buy a car then it is yours to do with as you wish, and that includes seeing if you can sell it at a profit to someone that wants it more. It is called capitalism.

Why do you feel sorry for the dealership? They were allegedly assholes to this customer and the will lose future business because of it.

If this is true then I feel sorry for the dealership, there are a TON of Indian folks in NJ many of whom are able to afford a Mercedes. What a dumb ass.

He’s still not going to deal with the issue even if his wife gets pregnant. His baseline is no, don’t bother me with deep thoughts or burdens.

OTOH, he seems to be doing exceptionally well as an adult with microcephaly.

“If I’m going to err, I’m going to err on the side of life,” he said.

To be fair, I think $6200 is also Tonga’s GNP.

Man... Tonga is so poor... $6200 is an awful lot of money there. Those folks are just trying to survive.

Thanks for the nod. Unrelated - You are my favorite writer on IO9 (Just the right amount of humor and good subjects).

You stopped at the best part of the story!
