Well folks, tomorrow night I head back to the home of the Burning River, and I’m very much looking forward to it. Might wind up being pretty damn chilly for my California blood, but oh well. If the posts start a-laggin’, y’all know why. Have a happy holiday.
Bill Maher has a list of the biggest dickheads of the year. Pretty damn accurate, though I’m sure many of us have a few people we’d like to add on.
More voting machine hackery: news report on just how easy it is to change votes. So, every key is the same… all you need appears to be a PCMCIA memory card reader, as well as the proper software, and you’re on your way to another Republican president. I hope someone rigs it so that Al Sharpton wins… that might make up for the lack of security.
Lost Star Wars intro. Featuring Biggs, Luke’s alleged best friend. Seems like kind of a dick, if you ask me. That aside, I think it could have helped define the setting of the movie a bit more than they actually did.
12 different birds - one dish. God, I may enjoy some fine meats, but this just sounds disgusting. There’s something oddly awesome about the picture featuring all the poultry and stuffing, though. Guess I’ll never eat a mallard… looks like it got ran over by a dump truck!
Let’s round this out with a little car action.
Absurdly expensive car wax. Even IF you have a Bugatti Veyron, there’s no excuse for this crazy bullshit. To all the rich jerks forking over $6k for one part of a wax job… do you realize you could buy me a sweet, vintage Triumph for that kind of money? Or, you could be even more generous and buy a poor family some wheels. Give me a break.
TankOnEmpty.com attempts to answer the question “how far can I drive with the fuel warning light on?” Looks like my kind of Accord ranks up there pretty high. Actually, I just did a mileage test on it and discovered it got about 20mpg in constantly-brutal traffic. So, 280+ gallons for a tank. I think my Jetta used to do that on half a tank, but it was brand new, and that was on pure highway trips.
