They should have pulled Dukes of Hazzard for being unwatchable poo poo long ago. It's not even worth hate viewing. .

Lol, it's a stunt car show with goofy characters geared towards kids pretty much. When I was ten years old it was awesome.

Of course as an adult now it's pretty bad, but the nostalgia alone makes it fun to watch. If you're a car guy and scoff at the General Lee something is wrong with you.

Oh and other acts of loving idiocy!

I have a friend doing research for a graphic novel about the WTC bombing that happened in 1993. We were discussing similar projects that have already been published and another guy chimed in "9-11 HAPPENED IN 2001 YOU loving TARDS." My friend tried to explain about the '93 bombing but this dude was "THE TOWERS FELL IN 2001 YOU gently caress, LEARN YOUR HISTORY."

Who the gently caress thought a night race at the end of a long weekend, in a place where a rain delay is likely, was a good idea? Looked like a good race, the last few laps would have been really exciting if I didn't know who won.

It sucks that plate racing is so dangerous. The plate package is the only one that consistently makes for good oval racing with this car.

The 4th of July race has been going on for decades, and because of the time of year they do tend to get rained out or delayed.

And yeah, the super speedway races are the only good oval races anymore unfortunately.

They did it to try and get better ratings, since no one would be home on the 4th apparently.

If you like Bourbon and/or really good ale, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is the poo poo, soooo good.

Our Kentucky Ale® is aged for up to six weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries. Subtle yet familiar flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels.

He wants $2K. I've just started a ramen diet because I want new wheels, tires and suspension for the Miata. I seriously just realized I've spent $600 on Jimmy Johns this loving year and could have knocked out new wheels by now had I not wasted money on subpar sandwiches. If I could get my plastic-robot habit under control I could probably own a GTR by next year.

Learn how to cook and make you own sandwiches, seriously it's not hard and will save you a ton of money.

Every time I eat out it amazes me how loving expensive it is so I rarely do it anymore.

Also whatever you do don't get RPF1's for your Miata because they look horrible on NCs.

I don't have time to prep lunches to eat at work, I have like 20 minutes to eat on Tuesdays. We cook at home 75% of the time, this is just for lunch on Tuesday and Fridays.

I work 50 hours a week and manage to prep my meals, I do it ahead of time on my days off. And making a sandwich takes five minutes tops if that's all you're eating. It's not difficult or time consuming, you just have to get into a groove of doing it all the time and it's second nature. Way cheaper and way healthier.

Seriously. I eat out when it is either going to be so amazing and I can't cook it well or don't have the equipment to do it well or more often, when I don't want to clean up afterwards.

Same here. So many restaurants are disappointing, it sucks when you have to shell out 50 bucks for a mediocre meal when you could have fed yourself much better for a week for that much.

You can smoke with a kettle just as good as any commercial smoker out there, no need for a dedicated smoker.

The only thing I never cared for off the charcoal grill was chicken, maybe I'm just not as good with it.

Watch as many of these videos as you can:

[e] I use Kingsford and stock up when it's on sale. I've heard Publix Greenwise charcoal is really good but haven't tried it yet. Whatever you do just don't cheap out, the cheaper brands suck. Kingsford starts quick with a chimney and burns nice and long.

It's more in my mind these parents being idiots letting their young kid ride an ATV with a side of the broker shooting themselves in the foot.

We cover physio and if the claim helped the kid in any way I'd probably fight tooth and nail to get this kid covered. As it stands in my view (that has been warped by this job) this is what the parents get for making an extremely stupid choice that injured their kid.

Do you know the specifics of the story? How do you know the parents were being idiots?

Where I grew up kids rode mini bikes and mini atv's all the time, 6 yrs isn't that young. So unless he was riding a full size atv instead of a child size I don't see the problem, especially if he was wearing the right gear. Accidents happen.

It was only on 200C for that pizza.

Made the dough last Sunday so it had been sitting since then.

You gotta get WAY hotter, using your oven is an exercise in futility.

Get a cheap weber kettle grill off CL then get this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/PizzaQue-Pizza-Kit-for-Kettle-Grills-PC7001/205581858

You can achieve 400C easily and go higher than that if you want. Perfect pizza every time.

If you can make it better, awesome, but pizza simply by being pizza, is drat loving fine.

Like was said earlier, you're better off ordering a pizza than cooking one in an electric oven.

For a couple dollars worth of charcoal you can bake a pizza in a coal oven at appropriate temps that will come out better than most any local pizza joint.
