These are people who still watch reality tv.

I think of her as more the black fox type.

His reason was based from the victim's perspective- King couldn't call the cops, the lady could.

My reason was societal. I thought that only bad would come from the Detroit video (a city largely abandoned by whites would get more abandoned) while the King video would generate mostly good. I argued that the cops in LA were obviously way off the reservation and would have to change all that.

I guess he won the argument.
I don't think either one of you won.

That's ridiculous. A reasonably coordinated person should be able to learn to drive a manual transmission in five minutes with a drunk instructor. I know at least a half dozen people who have done so. I can't remember any of their names, but I remember that a couple of them were hot.
Although I am somewhat uncoordinated, I am also somewhat hot and I agree there is no reason I should not be able to master this skill. I have stripped the gears of two cars and been ejected from two others trying to learn, but I blame lousy teachers. I trust that next time you are in town you will volunteer your instruction skills and your car.

Dont get me started on last night. I really thought Hayden "come on baby" the chinless wonder and her balding boyfriend were toast. I dont think I have ever rooted so hard for someone to get booted on any reality show ever, except Tina Do-Ri-tos and that didnt work out well for me.

I am all about Lori and Bolo. Lori has the sexiest southern accfent and I love how she is so My Tits Are Fake and Sometimes They Hurt But Its Part of the Job. Bolo just has a cool name and seems likable enough for someone who is wider than he is tall. They arent too bright but they never claimed to be. That beats aspiring actresses and models. At least str8 wont be spotting them in three months at the La Brea Tar Pits.
I love how everyone continues to underestimate Lori and Bolo. Bolo especially seems pretty good at everything, though they often choose the slower route on the Detour. I would not be shocked at all to see them win the whole shebang.

Why the hate for Hayden and Aaron? Hayden's a bit of a skeeze, and they're a little dim, but no more so than your usual TAR couple.

Perhaps you didn't offer the right incentives. My outcomes were always pareto optimal.

Then there are the stupid and the uncoordinated. Those people are impossible. It's like a woman who can't give a decent blowjob. Actually, it's not that bad, because I can always drive the car myself.
Nobody grew up more sheltered than I and I once taught someone to drive my volks gti stick at about 3 am in some parking lot between Rolling Hills and Sacto on the way to dead shows bc you know, the shit was kicking in.

I relish teaching you to drive manual on the mean streets of NYC. What's more, I will make you wear stiletto heels. And then, as my ultimate triumph, I will have you parallel park on the LEFT side of a one-way street.

I'm sorry that I won't be offering my usual incentives, but I'm sure you'll do it for the pride. Because believe me, when you parallel park a manual transmission car on the left side of a one-way street while wearing stiletto heels and with an observer, you feel like one of life's winners.

Ta-daaa.

Right on schedule. and the lucky little one will have Yale legacy.

But I'm guessing that there is some likelihood that the owner of the car behind BRC will be feeling like one of life's loosers (hi BRC!). You forgot the hill in your theoretical situation.

The thought of attempting this gives me a headache. I can barely park in a shopping mall parking lot if there are cars on either side, not to mention if they are SUVs or something. I have to take a few tries to park in my own parking space at my condo.
