In high school I luckily just happened to be driving by when two of my best friends were changing out a flat tire. These dipshits were actively jumping on the tire iron to tighten the lugs while the damn car was STILL up in the air on a jack. Read more
I was literally listening to Part II A when I clicked on Deadspin and saw this article. This album is an incredible odyssey from start to finish, and it's impossible to feel the same way when you've reached the end as you felt at the beginning.

My fiancee and I are currently planning our own wedding, and we haven't gotten to that point yet, and I'm fucking terrified.

I still don't quite get the beast mode thing. In the original Beast Wars: Transformers cartoon the Maximals and Predicons typically used beast mode for regular travel or protection from energon radiation. Sure it could be useful but switching to robot mode let them use jet packs and rocket launchers. Read more
My comment should be preceded by the following disclaimer: I have never been in a real fight. (Adequate Man guide to never getting in a fight: be kind of big and serious looking, so you don't look like an optimal target; rarely if ever drink, because your family has a history of alcoholism; stay away from the kind of… Read more
