  1. In my humble experience, Forza riders are predominantly in a class of their own. 'Nuff said.
  2. I'm always amazed at how people can look at the same scenes and philosophically (or ideologically) draw different conclusions. Not just nuancedly different, but the polar opposite. Whatever happened to "I understand the point you're making but have you considered A, B, or C?
  3. He might qualify for an Albertan passport in the near future.
  4. More fiery, but mostly peaceful protests.
  5. They got their wishes fulfilled with the father from Maryland being returned, you'd think they would have learned a lesson from that.
  6. Hands up all those who never re-imagined a girl's face they knew on a centrefold of Miss February 1974 while committing an act of self-abuse? This chap has simply digitalised his imagination. But as it was back in my day, better to keep your porn stash private and well hidden - even though your Mum always knew where the stash was anyway.
  7. Well, they got their wish - irony is a beach.
  8. I can't see her admitting she was a DEI selection anytime soon. She'll need a good ghostwriter, she was only slightly more aware of reality than Joe.
  9. They just want another reason to claim victimhood. But begorrah, this is super cringeworthy.
  10. If it was in my pocket, I'd be using an industrial strength rubber band, not one from her last plastic bag of Som-Tam.
  11. I'm not sure if this is a revolutionary or a counter-revolutionary decision. Either way, kudos to the PM for pi$$ing flying in the face of conformity and political correctness.
  12. Sounds like a case of "pedal error". He sailed up the road and through the wall thinking he had his brake pedal to the floor. Not an uncommon event. He probably walked away from pure embarrassment - I would.
  13. The WP is pulling the "correlation doesn't equate to causation" trick. I mean, you can probably aptly apply this theory to the seasonal increase in the sales of ice-cream not causing a seasonal increase in the number of shark attacks. But if a bloke says he is going to hit the nail with a hammer and the nail is suddenly imbedded in the wood, it's reasonable to assume the bloke hit the nail with the hammer - as opposed to the nail mysteriously imbedding itself for no particular reason. But then again, cognitive dissonance absolves the sufferer from the sins of truth and logic.
  14. Post 1945, I always thought a Nazi salute wasn't a Nazi salute unless you placed your left hand index finger horizontally below your nose - Bazil Fawlty style.
  15. The official political opposition is commonly referred to as the MSM.
  16. I'd say you've probably hit a sharp rock at the perfect angle, or the side of a cavernous pothole of which there are plenty on Thailand roads. Coincidentally, I once sent my missus on a mission to get a full set of new tyres for the truck. I'd instructed her to get the same Bridgestones as they'd worn well and gave a good ride. I get a phone call saying the shop had a "special" on Michelin that were 20% cheaper. Okay says I. Within 6 months, three of the tyres had crapped themselves similar to the OP's photo. The Michelin sidewalls were visibly much softer than the Bridgestone. I know that the missus did two of the tyres (one LF, one LR) by clipping a rough kerb entering my condo parking area. I replaced each one with a Bridgestone. Now on yet another set of Bridgestones again and they show visible marks (as do the rims) where the silly cow has continued to hit the kerb and probably a myriad of other inanimate objects, but no blowouts. Sidewalls matter.
  17. The biggest threat to Putin are his fellow Oligarchs. This is a major blow to his somewhat tenuous legitimacy in their eyes. The palace guard will be doing double duty from now on.
  18. And that's what happens when Europeans or South Americans learn the importance of a decimal point, viz a viz a comma when separating whole numbers.
  19. There is no such thing as a nonpartisan judge. And if an allegedly bipartisan agreement is ever reached between judges or politicians, it simply means that I'm scratching your back this time, next time is my turn - and just leave the brown envelope on the desk thank-you-very-much. The most corrupt are those that bleat the most about being incorruptible. Give me an honest burglar any day of the week. In every society, those that make, enforce, and adjudicate the law are the most corrupt. Just ask Tacitus.
  20. I'm confused. It shouldn't be difficult to find every loan shark in the country. They frequently drive their scooters around doling out business cards to everyone they meet. Often they will just dump a few cards on the bar counters and walk away. I've seen them just drive down the Soi and throw a handful of cards in the air. Shotgun marketing. Many lamp posts also have their business cards stuck to them. The ones nabbed were probably not supporting their local constabulary with sufficient tea money.
  21. Fortunate that her nickname was Opal, and not Porn or Rat.
  22. It is undeniably bizarre that for no apparent reason, this guy was having a dip in the rooftop water tank of a condo. If somebody wanted to hide something of value, a rooftop water tank would be an ideal place to stash it.
  23. This June 5 nonsense is all misinformation and clickbait. Here's a genuine Centrelink press release warning about it. Fake information about Centrelink payments - Managing your money - Services Australia Edit: for some reason, the above won't post as a link. Copy and paste to get the URL.
