Because I am getting yelled at at work by…yes…women (!), I thought I’d turn to experts to prove my point.
Ten Truly Underrated Sci-Fi Movies →
Good post with some interesting movies I hadn’t seen. Enabled me to fill up a strangely empty Netflix queue.
New diesel land speed record: 328 mph →
I was there when he tried (and failed) at the salt flats. He did beat the record a week later though. Not sure why this story is popping up on Digg now but…
BTW, there are pictures of Andy Greene and me somewhere on this blog (in older pages).

I weep. But am greatly comforted by the fact it’s still a CADILLAC, LOL.

Scott Spark LTD Mountain Bike →
Is this race to be the lightest full-suspension bike around a little nuts (I am sure friend and gram-counter Dave says No!)? I am not sure…but do we really need 20 lbs. MTB’s? Same goes for the car horsepower war…I remember when I was excited my dad’s Alfa Romeo had 130 bhp (OK, I am old but still…); today, the cheapest Hyundai has about the same horsepower.

RS5 Stopgap? Audi gives sneak peek at S5 Evo →
More power! Nothing wrong with that: just making a great car even better.

This whole controversy about McCain not knowing how many houses he has (which the Democrats are using to aim below the belt, finally they are growing some balls and learning from the classic Republican dirty tricks) and the age-old dilemma about material possessions vs. happiness, wastefulness vs. needs, etc. got me thinking about a few things. Confession: I like beautiful (well-made,...

Funny, Onion-like spoof.
Audi R8 test drive ends with a swim →
:-( poor Audi R8. Funny though…BTW there is a total Beavis & Butthead “ar ar ar he said” in the article. A lollipop to the person who finds it and puts it in a comment to this post.
I tried to care, but you would not shut up. →
We can all relate…

How to picket Tropic Thunder →
These protesters 1) have too much time on their hands, 2) have deep-seated anger, 3) have no sense of humor, 4) haven’t checked the definitions of “hate” or “malicious” in a while, 5) would probably twist them if they did, 6) should get a life, 7) are possibly retarded, 8) all of the above.
Where do Scientologists go when they die? →
OK, these Scientologists nutcases are really out there but when you think about it just about every other organized religion has the same kind of mindboggling crap about after-death crap. Count me out and let me die in peace with no idea, and no need for any, about what will happen next.

Sweet mother of motorcycle god! →
I worship at the altar of Ducati and this 1098R is beyond sweet. A little pricey for a bike but since they are making only 450 of them worldwide, justified, IMHO. Is there a Santa Claus? ;-)
