And while this is all entirely true, it bears adding that it's possible to be legally correct in your actions while still being a raging asshole.

Personally, I’d probably tell them to do what they want with whatever money they got from whoever preceded me, but I’m paying for my own order.  

Not entirely true.  Toyotas on the NASCAR circuit ultimately end up with bumper cover dents.  

I’ve never found any difficulty, as what I call a “true agnostic” (i.e. I don’t believe in belief), just saying to others “I don’t share your beliefs, but respect your belief in them.”

That “dirty toenails” statement was the statement of a defense attorney who knew she had no argument to make. And, more likely than not, absolutely loathes the job she had to do.

For all Buffalo’s flaws, which include being nearly as economically run-down as Detroit, one of the things the city leadership has done well over the years is preserve quite a bit of the late 19th/early 20th century architecture.  There are some surprising architectural gems in Buffalo today.

A rough BOTE calculation:

Even after reading this article, can anyone here remember the name of any beauty pageant winners? Legitimately, outside of pageant world, does anyone give a happy rat’s ass about them?

Best one I’ve seen was a Virginia plate that said VDOTSUX.

Spent the night in jail for that wise crack.

No vehicle is safe when the person behind the wheel is an utter muttonhead.
