Given the sheer number of puns, interpretations, and general-purpose idiocy that could be made out of an incident like this, I am at a complete and total loss for words.
Well, apart from, “Jesus may really have touched down…”
The completely whacky thing about this all-too-crazy accident? The Porsche Cayenne that narrowly avoids turning into a pancake underneath the Pepsi truck just keeps driving. And, by “narrowly”, it looked to be somewhere in the “less than two feet” range.
If I ever happen to own/run my own commercial establishment (unlikely to happen, but we are talking hypotheticals here), like, say, a greenhouse/nursery/garden supply type place (because that actually holds some degree of interest for me) or perhaps a window tinting shop, its hours would probably be something along the…
Something I just do not get: people, who are unconnected to the events in question, apologizing for unfortunate / illegal / immoral / etc. events that happened to another person, especially when the “other person” in question is quite dead. For example, the British Prime Minister apologized…
Why is it that modern microwaves insist on telling me “FOOD IS READY” when their timer runs out? How does it know the food is ready? Was the time I nuked my food for actually long enough? Does it know what I quantify as “ready”? And how much time, effort,…
I fully appreciate and encourage having a fire-extinguisher handy for any kind of fire-producing device (even internal combustion engines), but having said fire extinguisher strapped directly to a generator seems somewhat… counterproductive?
During our little hike on Saturday, I was the only person of four who bothered to put on bug spray… DEET-laden, broad-spectrum, name-brand bug spray. I was also the only person to come home with cute little blood-sucking passengers, and two of them to boot. *sigh*
It is probably a bad thing that the repairs I am having to effect on my apartment are actually improving its durability and the quality of its craftsmanship.
Regular readers will know that I want a Bullitt Mustang, even moreso now that Ford is the last truly American-owned automobile company. Yesterday, there was one parked right next to me in Wal-Mart, and I had the pleasure of hearing it leave as I walked to the…
Why do city planners insist on placing residential districts on the sides of relatively busy highways, and why do developers insist on building relatively nice neighborhoods on those tracts?
Botach Tactical has what I would politely describe as a “rudimentary” webpage – as ecommerce sites go, it is about as bare-bones as you can possibly get and still have images. However, they were running a 10% off sale this past week, and I decided to give them a shot…
NAPOLITANO SAYS US SHOULD SHOULD PREPARE FOR NEW FLU OUTBREAK SOON EVEN IF THIS ONE FIZZLES OUT
Ignoring the atrocious grammar and one-lined nature of the report, what the hell is the Secretary of Homeland Security doing fear-mongering and generating…
Since when does “The perfect family comedy” feature implied nudity, blatantly implied sexual intercourse, miscarriages discussed in all their ultrasound glory, and pets being put to sleep in graphic detail? Hell, when do not-family-friendly comedies have half of that nonsense? Just goes to show how useless professional movie…
What is the point of putting a six-inch-diameter race tachometer (complete with an inch-diameter shift-light) into an automatic Chevrolet S-10 pickup? I mean, seriously. Do something about the atrocious after-market baby blue paintjob first, or maybe the heinous condition your aft bumper is in, before you go tacking crap…
Ways To Tell Your Inventory Control System Needs Work: Your online system shows a product as “in-stock”. A customer orders said product. You charge the customer’s credit card. The same day the product shows upon the customer’s doorstep, a physical letter shows up in their physical mailbox informing them that…
Why do cars still have “parking lights”, or at least a setting on the light control system for “parking lights”? You certainly do not use/need them while parking, and whatever use they serve on the road could easily be done more effectively by normal headlights and taillights. I mean, at…
Just to back up a previous claim I made, I present you with… I still think it is a stupid idea. And just to show off some of the things that corporate entities give out at fairs… Yes, that is a…
I am uncertain whether to be amused or disturbed that smart fortwos come in zebra-striped color schemes. As in, the entire car, except for the grey bits, was appropriately black-and-white striped, as one might expect to find out on the African savannah. On a car that small,…
Y’know, if Victoria’s Secret quartered their monthly mailings and only sent out a single catalog a month, I really have to wonder how much that would impact their increasingly ludicrous prices…
I am not a home designer, but I do know this: putting the closet and bathroom of a master suite at opposite diametrically opposite corners of the master bedroom is just frakking stupid. Stop doing it already!
You know, I am not really sure which is worse: Option 1: Sticking something in the handle of a gas pump to keep the system running while you go inside to grab a soda… and leaving it long enough that you end up with at least a gallon or…
Memo to Apple: Look, I know you have managed to carve out quite the computer peripherals empire based off one hell of an advertising campaign. Your computer side of the house is not doing terribly well, though, but it never was, so no great surprise there. At any rate,…
I have seen the Burj Dubai in person, and I can honestly say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these two gentlemn are bloody nuts. Once you factor in the altitude, the legal system of the host country (remember, this is a Middle Eastern nation),…
