This "God" fellow sounds highly capricious and hard to get along with.

Would that mean people in Cleveland get the most or least?

I suppose people in Cleveland get the most, but they waste all of it doing stupid **** like smoking, doing drugs, and getting dumped by their spouses on hour-long national TV specials

Can you buy more years? I can do that with my vehicle's warranty


Just make it to 2045 and then we'll all have sexy robot bodies and live forever.

Is there anyone in the whole world who does enjoy the sound of beer being poured into a glass that has a microphone right next to it (sound used in radio ads for beer)? Or the sound of a golf ball going into a hole that has a microphone in it (sound used in radio ads for golf)? I hate both of those sounds to the degree of mighty, but yet I keep hearing them. Must be that other people like those sounds.

Driving home today, two lane road at this point, approaching an intersection where if you turn right it's four lane that narrows down to two again past the intersection. Super lifted, ****** old Cherokee with the original body style they've not made in a couple of decades. So lifted it looks tippy going straight. Doing 20 mph under the limit approaching the intersection and I'm behind it. He turns right on the green, I turn right behind him, get into the other lane and zip past him. I got the two fisted double bird for about a mile, lol.


Yeah, I think that's probably a reasonable assessment. From the looks of this guy and his car, he's not exactly setting the world on fire.

My brother lives in Alexandria, and I've heard the horror stories about traffic. I was fortunate when I visited to manage to avoid it, but he's talked about it. My mom has mentioned it too after she's visited, and she's actually said the traffic is a big reason she would never move to the area.
It really would be nice if there we some repercussions. I mean, that guy endangered me in a very real way. If he'd pushed me out in the street, I would have been allowed to do what I needed to feel safe. It's too bad there's no way to translate that to driving.

Nope. I wasn't aggressive in any way. I saw the guy pull out well in front of me and realized he was going to hold up the lane, and I started thinking about what I'd do. I made a conscious decision to not get angry about it and, upon realizing I had a good head of steam and the oncoming lane was open in the passing area, concluded I ought to just take advantage of the speed difference and pass him. I didn't gesture, tailgate, or do anything else. Hell, I didn't even look at the guy until I was next to him and heard him gun it. Other than just being a dick for the sake of it, the only guess I have is that maybe he was upset or something that I came up on him fast, but that's kind of what happens when someone is passing you because you pulled out barely moving.

Either way, I was actually particularly well behaved. It sounds like a very similar situation to what you encountered. Guy was just pissy for whatever reason.

There is a species of full grown man that frequents my train stop that displays an odd behavior. They sprint off the train, up the stairs, across the bridge over the tracks, down the stairs, and all the way to the parking garage.

It is the most disheartening thing I see on a daily basis. How do these men sleep at night knowing they are goofy as ****?

They're carrying meth in their briefcases so they have to outrun the K-9s.

When they get home they have a martini and a **** waiting for them.
