"Uh...Ray...uh...we were drunk. We might have said some things on Jezebel. And...uh...we really like Jalopnik and want to come back. You can leave the ban on us in Jezebel because all they do is get rid of us for no reason.
You see, all the wise adults of Jalopnik, in their normal evening drinking time, came up with a wonderful, delectable idea. We were gonna organize and share our honest thoughts on the next post Jezebell had. Well, you see, they posted about that whoretastic bitch Paris Hilton, and well... You know.......... ... Read More
Beer and testosterone (and maybe a little crack from today's NPOCP) happened. To show how apologetic we are, we'll each send $3 to NOW.
Sincerely,
engineerd, c0de, TexanIdiot25, Dearthair, aSoundofSleep, .357, JoSchmo, SirNotAppearing/b.r.h., Captain Liverspots/Fading Captain, MarywithanM, Rusty Trombone"

Still, I'd like you all back.
aSoS and Rusty Trombone, sorry I missed you in my list yesterday.

One day, some of the regulars had a couple too many and decided to roust up the Jezebel Tea-Room a few blocks away. Some indecorous insults were made, tempers flared, the bouncers were called, and the interlopers were tossed into the street to a chorus of angry shouts. Needless to say, it'll be a while before these folks are allowed back.
Having had their fun (paid for with some bruises and peeled stars), our intrepid Jalopers headed back towards Ray's for a nightcap. They did not expect to see the same bouncers from Jezebel standing in front of the Joint door. The bouncers barred their way and told them not to come back. Meanwhile, the Jalop regulars inside noticed that things were a little less lively, a little more subdued - some life and wit were missing, and it wasn't quite as much fun now. The banned folks never tore up the Joint, so even though they misbehaved somewhere else, why can't they come back in?

I was trying to catch up on comments this morning, sort of see what people were up to... and apparently it was no good.
A few of our own beloved commenters have been carousing here and got themselves disemvowelled, de-starred, and banned.
I'm here to start a petition to get them re-instated... at least on Jalopnik. Here's a list of who I could find, in no particular order:
Fading Captain
c0de
.357
TexanIdiot25
MarywithanM
SirNotAppearing
Jo Schmo
engineerd
DEAЯTHÁIЯ
There may be more, that's everyone I noticed.
We need these guys back, Jalopnik wont be the same without 'em.
You're all getting heart clicks from me, because even though I couldn't make out all the disemvowelled comments, that was hilarious. Nice work, take another pull of brefass scotch.
Again, Ray, my sincere apologies.

Trying to read their comments now that have been "disemvoweled" is hilarious.
I too, will be heart clickin all of them, if I haven't already.

None of the others were even remotely innocent, they knew what they were doing there.
I wish there was a such thing as site banning, not just network banning.
07/30/09
Thanks to Al Navarro and Pete Gaines for sorting that one out. And thanks to TimTim for sending out the bat signal!

Obama is God, God is dead, and there's a sushi place at 42nd and Lexington that is TO DIE FOR!"
Best bet is to stay away from that sort of thing, at least for most of the folks in here. Though sushi does kick ass.

Would I get banned for posting some of Paris's videos on the Jezebel thread? There's a really nice one of her performing fellatio...
07/30/09
@TimTim your post got you a heart click
07/30/09
If she's on top, it's art.

Ash could be unstarred, disemvowelled, and banned and he'd still pull down COTD... I don't know how, but he would. That's why he has 27+ and I have 0.

So what sayeth the powers that be? Is not the Jalop Hammer forged of iron, and sweat, and dreams; cured with the exhaust of function and bond of kinship? Surely this is able to crush the faddish pretenses of the Jeze-peener? How sad to think we can fall prey to the defensive cackling of harpies.
Bring back our brethren!

And Dearthair definitely was a bystander. That was just uncalled for to ban him. Same for Mary. The others were a bit inappropriate, but there is a lot of intentionally vicious disemvowlment and banning going on there.

...but seriously, we need those guys back. The site just won't be the same without them.

However, ad people often want to go with the whiz-bang stuff (it looks cool, wins awards, etc) and the marketing folks often just go along with it.

Just as long as they either stay away from its MPG performance or manage to compare it to competitors that aren't any better...

...nope.
One of the ladies that works with him is in her late 60s, and...
...shit.
Oh, I know a lady in her mid-20s who drives one, but she's a little odd anyway.

Personally I think it's silly when companies compare standard cars like a Taurus (and even Hyundai with its Genesis) to luxury brands.

"You okay buddy? Let's walk around a little bit...walk that crash off, y'know?"
(takes a deep, loud breath, looks down at shirt, casually brushes airbag dust off of silk tie)
"So... what'd you think of the car? Nice, huh? You think you're ready to buy today? We've got a bunch of undamaged ones on the lot, but I bet I could make you a really sweet deal on this one! What kind of payment you looking for?"

Salesman: "...and of course you've got your dual sun visors up here. They also swivel to the side to block glare no matter where it's coming from! This model also features the upgraded vanity mi--"
Customer: "Seriously, if you don't stop talking, I am going to stop the car RIGHT HERE and walk home."
Salesman: "Sorry, no problem! Just take your time. Speaking of which, check out that standard digital clock located conveniently"
SCREEEEECH-BANG!!!
06/23/09
Just as a snide comment...
I H A T E sunvisors. Thats what sunglasses are for.
And I sure as hell dont like being told where shit is.
And ya need to turn up the severity of the BANG part. I bet some yahoo was probably on jalopnik looking at RAY as he's mackin some hot car.. and *stomps on brakes... SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHHHHHH-B A N G. *throwing all kinds shit forward, headrests pop off, airbags dont go off...
06/23/09
Hah, you're right, for those of us that aren't two quick steps from legally blind without our glasses.
Yes, they make sunglasses that fit over 'em. No, they don't make them comfortable.
And yes, I have those Transitions lenses. They rely on UV light to change, so good luck convincing them when you're inside a car.
Sunvisors are a necessary evil.

Does the dealership overcharge themselves for ridiculous repair costs? :)
