Most overrated NASCAR racer of all time

Richard Petty.

Seriously, after the playing field was leveled and regulated, he placed more consistently with his son.

I'm not saying Petty wasn't great, but he clearly had a mechanical advantage with Dodge back in their hayday and he couldn't maintain it when everyones' balls were getting bigger in nascar at the time. He should remain noteworthy, but the King is stretching it.

My nascar fandom days ranged from around '88 to '05 or so. Jarrett, Waltrip, Rudd, the Labontes, Rusty Wallace, and tons of others I can't remember. One of the clearest memories I have from early on is Davey Allison's helicopter crash death.

I'm white trash and will break open a case of PBR and fight you in a trailer park over the greatness of one of Nascar's great drivers, Terry Labonte.

Hey GiP, I've been thinking of enlisting for XCOM. Worth it? The recruiter is offering me a signing bonus if I agree to the "Stun Prod" MOS(??), plus a six-figure bonus after my fifth mission.

Check the fine print, if you end up getting 99% of that six figures you'll get 0 every time.

Guys I really wanna fight aliens ever since I was 11 and I played Halo for the first time it's all I've ever wanted in my life. I'm ready. My body is ready. My mind is ready. I will be Master Chief John Spartan 117. Is being 27 and roughly 300lbs of sexy fat a disqualification for 11b or xray? Can I just go straight to delta? I knew global warming was fake and if that airport had a gun yesterday none of this would have happened smh

There was a book that I always forget the name of where Aliens actually recruit humans to fight in interstellar wars because were just really really absurdly good at violence and have no other redeeming qualities in the eyes of the more sensible intergalactic species.

Because we are good at destroying stuff.

Amazes me not one military advisor on the set said "just say it like key fob or you're gonna drive literally everyone who's ever been in the military loving nuts"

Then again they might have said that and some exec producer said "no way if we don't spell it out each time how will America understand"

Easy peasy. Dialogue along these lines:

"Welcome to Forward Operating Base Farthuffer. While on the FOB, keep your PT belt on at all times."
