Maybe next we’ll do a Rolls, so you can be, you know, on a Rolls.  Read more

One of my favorite movies is Michael Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans especially for Danial Day Lewis’ all-in performance. I love the way he pronounces Kentucky “Kan-tuck-ee” which has led me to do the same ever since.

There’s more stuff here, but it’s hard to say how old all the mods are Read more

So, a coprolite is a piece of fossilized feces, literally stone-cold shit, and yet paleontologists get frothy excited when one is found. It’s not how foul a thing is, it’s how good an indicator of an era or experience it is. The Trabant is possibly the worst car ever foisted on the car-buying public, and yet today Read more
