I think there have been three non-commercial vehicles with seven-speed manuals: the Porsche 911, the Chevorlet Corvette, and the Ford Bronco. Although for the Bronco I think "first' is a super-low crawler gear that basically takes the place of low range on a transfer case, so most of the time it's d...

CNN says: A man lit himself on fire outside of the courthouse where the Trump trial is underway, two law enforcement sources confirmed to CNN. The man walked into the park across the street from the courthouse, throwing flyers into the air, a senior law enforcement official told CNN. He then pulled ...

Weird Al is a goddamned national treasure.

I'm now going to make tifosi have to go take a shower because he's going to agree with Matt Gaetz:

To be fair their basketball team name is comically mismatched because of a lack of creativity after a move. Maybe give them space to get it right. From the opening sequence to "Baseketball": "The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where...

A mouse family apparently made the exceedingly poor decision to try to move into my house today. I found a deceased mouse on the landing on my stairs when I got home from work. I wasn't sure which cat did it, but I suspected Hershey, who delights in chasing and killing bugs. A couple hours later, I ...

https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1780415157052543360 Not even close. Not even close to close. Tastes vary, of course, but in my book, the most stylish president in my lifetime was Reagan. A Hollywood actor is going to know how to dress, and while Reagan's style was admittedly "old school," he wore i...

No, I was reading through the play by play of oral arguments. Obviously, the providers of said pbp offer their own slant, but it appeared the conservative justices were throwing out some pretty hyperbolic situations to try to counter the government's position, and seemed fixated on the 20 year maxi...

i don’t have any pets but the Terro traps are labeled nontoxic for pets. Most ant traps are made with borax—the same stuff you can buy as a laundry-detergent booster. It's not super toxic, and a pet to be harmed would have to eat a lot more of it than you'd find in an ant trap. For some reason, whe...

I knew you’d give a good and true legalese answer. Thanks! How do they decide who the organizer is and how is it legal to hold them liable for what people decide to do? It seems ripe for abuse from police and the courts. The case does not address the burden of proof for whether someone was the orga...

Is this the case they declined to hear that makes it illegal to peacefully gather and protest in 3 states now? No. And despite whatever article you read (I'm guessing Vox because that's basically their headline), that's not what that Fifth Circuit case said. It doesn't make it illegal to protest. I...

SCOTUS hearing obstruction charges related to 1/6 this morning. Seems likely the court throws them out because *GOP*. And I'm sure you can explain why it would be incorrect for the SCOTUS to adopt the appellant's interpretation of 18 U.S.C § 1512 as opposed to the government's interpretation, in li...

I've been a Weird Al fan since I was a kid. The movie is great, although I think I'd say UHF is a better Weird Al movie. I also highly recommend going to a Weird Al concert if you ever get the chance. Weird Al at Metropol back in the day was one of the first concerts I ever attended. I most recently...

Time to start imposing basic education classes on the elected

Sleepy Don:

To be fair, a pretrial-motions argument is going to be boring as heck.

Thankfully, Hersey doesn't attack my face like that (or try to tea-bag me). He just likes to sit on my chest when I lie down.

I was a little dismissive of the "first mow wiped me out" posts above, but I just finished my first mow, and holy crap am I wiped out. I actually had to stop about 3/4 of the way through and sit down for a couple minutes. I didn't even mow the whole lawn; about half of my back yard and the side yard...

While I have no doubts whatsoever that Nicole Brown was probably not the only white blonde female OJ beat up, that story has an odd smell about it. There would be no reason whatsoever for her boss to disclose the nature of the meeting when the only piece of information she knew was that Shapiro and...

I was a STH for 14 years and attended hundreds of games.

Pens just scored? Stand.
Penalty shot? Stand.
Shootout? Stand.
Pens about to close out playoff series? Stand.
Outrageously bad penalty call? Maybe stand to boo. Optional.

Other than those? Sit your butt down.

Well, a bee-themed team would probably make the most sense to be black and gold, but we don't want another of those, do we.

Salt Lake Swarm Ooh, that's a good one. It ties into the bees but that the same time seems a little tougher. I mean, a bee is nothing to worry about, but a no one wants to be around a swarm. And it has a nice alliteration with the S in Salt. I think that would be a great name for a SLC team. :thumb...
