The truth about guns and nuts with a side of Ziggy and Bond.

I WOULD TOTALLY FIND A PLACE FOR THIS:

True story: I’m currently searching for a bar set up for my new place. This re-purposed 1920s German lightbulb tester is out of my price range and, admittedly, bulky, but dang it’s pretty rad. Also, not the least bit subtle. You might call it a statement.

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD…and these guys look like schlubs. Mostly. Although, these shades are pretty sweet.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR GUNS: These particular models are mesh. I’m thinking this seems like kind of a big thing to be discovering at this point in time. Huh.

THE MORE YOU KNOW: Tesla motors is making honest headway in their attempt to break into the mainstream with their beautiful, stylish, electric vehicles. They have recently introduced a “reasonable” priced model and they are delivering some profit-friendly production news. It would seem that their success has the big auto manufacturers freaking out and pulling some dirty tricks to stop their progress. To that end, this.

ZIGGY BREATHES:

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR NUTS: This, also, was educational.

PUT DOWN THOSE ALLEN EDMONDS DOUBLE MONKS: This reality is coming your way. Plan accordingly.

GUILTY:  Number 4 (mostly), number 6 (once upon a time), number 7 (only mine), and number 9 (unabashedly).

BOND: This is a very good thing.

INCOMING:

(But seriously, what is with The Dude’s accent in this? Oh man. Worrisome.)

    How the heck did he know that my Neumoras just showed up yesterday? Review coming next week. Looks like I’ll be biking to work for the next couple of weeks.

    As if $4.29/gal wasn’t enough to pay already. Maybe I need to swap my car back to its stock tune so I can run regular instead of premium again. Then maybe I can pay the $4.40 regular will end up costing instead of $4.70/gal.

    Northwest Washington (state). Average gas price in my county right now is $3.92, but I’d have to drive out of my way to get something cheaper than that — out of my way enough that the time and extra driving really defeats the purpose, as saving a dollar for driving an extra five miles round-trip and wasting an extra 10-15 minutes is just not worth it. My $4.29 price is for premium, though. Close to $4 for regular.

    Last year, I took a road trip down the west coast. Gas prices in literally every single city we stopped in were cheaper than here — and that includes San Francisco.

    That’s some messed up priorities to not buy double monks because gas prices are high.

    The only time any male should have blue testicals. Fascinating.
