Dropping Like Flies

Formula 1. Where they drive the same route for 80 laps and nobody passes anybody.

NASCAR..what a shitshow...

you want skill in driving> find a competition where a driver has to turn the wheel both ways.. you know, like, LIFE

they go around a frickin' oval 500 times and the guy who wins does so by 2 seconds?  what a waste of time.


Formula 1. Any. Day.

Lets not even talk about the fans...I can think of few places I'd rather be less than at a NASCAR event.

just not true... other than monaco of course..

F1 is a tad on the boring side.  The cars look all cool and high tech but in the end at least it is not as boring as professional kickball (aka soccer).  Nothing is that boring.

RIP Gibbles potato chips and cheese puffys.

I am SO SAD about this.  A mainstay in my family for many many years.

the cheesy puffs ruled . . . chips, not so much, and the pretzels were the worst.  this brand was a staple of a good redneck lifestyle.  will be missed, and fuck the owners.  they buy the company, tell nobody that you are changing the company overnight after it has been a beloved company since 1950 something, and fires all employees without notice.

The best part of the article is the people they highlight for it; the bigger of the two (based on the pictures) is against the ban, while the thinner one is for the ban.  Is there anyway that wasn't intentional?

what I found interesting is that Starbucks (probably the worst offender) said they wouldn't abide by law if it were enacted.  Starbucks has to have the worst coffee in the world.  I always wondered why they were so popular and then  I realized that everyone who drinks coffee there has a drink with mostly chocalate and whip cream.  I wonder why starbucks doesn't get put in with mcdonalds and all the other junk food places to avoid.

SO SAD.  And I agree about the owners.

You don't like the chips as much because you haven't had the rainbow dip I make with them

They do have the worst coffee, but on a hot summer day, there is nothing better than their grande doubleshot with just a touch of sweetner and 2% milk!

Back when I was a CPA and an auditor for the state of Virginia I went to lunch one day with this woman in my office who weighed 300 pounds if she weighed an ounce.  No ankles what-so-ever, just legs that ended in constantly swollen feet.  So we go to a local Burger King and this woman orders TWO whoppers with cheese, a large order of fries, and a small diet coke.  I asked her "why do you order diet coke"?  Her reply was literally "you have to save your calories where you can".

Me...when I took a killer spill during my lunch time run on King Street.  Nice scrap on my hand and knee and ripped my brand new running shoes.  At least I managed to do it right in one of the busiest parts...

if you believe the calories on the starbucks light grande frappucino you are quite guillible.

Another extra sad one. Was a really big fan of this band while in high school. They set a lot of standards for those who came later.
