Top Gear

It's Top Gear this Wednesday! We'll be showing Top Gear episodes 3 & 4 this Wednesday, like last time people are welcome around 6pm, and we'll start the DVD around 6:30-7pm. We'll probably order food again like last time.

Episode 3 is an American special. The hosts go to Miami and are given $1000 and an afternoon to buy a car, then they have to drive it to New Orleans, with a number of challenges along the way...

If you're reading this, and willing to trek to our place in Hartford you're welcome to come. Any of your friend who want to watch three British blokes shout about cars are also welcome. If you need directions, send me an email.

Vannin' on ebay

So you want a van, cuz chicks dig a guy with a van.

Well you can go out and buy a van. Then fit it out with all the sweet mods.

But hey, you're a busy guy. Things to do, chicks to bang. So you don't want to be spending your weekends laying fiberglass and fitting wood paneling. In that case, you should get someone's completed van. Awe yeah.... Little cleaning, a tuneup and you're trucking.

And at first you're thinking that van is sweet. But then you're thinking. You're thinking that the heart of the van, the reason you need a van is to be a shaggin wagon. And you can't have a shaggin wagon without a truly boss interior. And while that van has a button-tufted ceiling over the seats, and wood paneled doors. That just ain't enough.

You need a truly hardcore van.

Button-tufted vinyl ceiling? Try an entirely button-tufted front passenger compartment. Ain't no cheap wood paneling on the doors here, We've got solid wood window trim and bar, with multicolor red shag carpeting. Just how boss is this van? So boss it's got the Van-in trophies to prove it.

Oh yeah, you're totally gonna score the chicks now.

(P.S. I freely admit to wanting that last van. It is so insanely terrible as to be nearly impossible to resist. Plus how can you go wrong with a van called The Snake?)

George Takei answers to Jim Hardaway's comments on gays

Not really work safe, but absolutely hysterical. Takei is my new hero.
