Jeremy Clarkson needs other people to play off of, or else he's insufferable. He's funny on Top Gear, he's funny in a couple of game/chat shows I've seen where he's with other comedians, but his written columns and solo acts (that I've seen anyway) are bleah.

American freight railroads have been privately owned and operated for their entire history, but passenger rail was nationalized in 1971 by President Nixon because of the competitive pressures on it from interstate highways and air travel.

The first couple google results for the username are accounts of them getting banned from other forums as well.

I wonder if, when the mods get a serial offender like that, they're ever tempted to write stuff in the "Punishment Reason" field that will make neat little patterns or images. "hey look, your serial shitposting helped me draw a cute little bunny!" or something along those lines.

How's the weather in Vermont? Me and my two BFFs were talking about which state we'd want to move to if we ever moved and we all independently came up with Vermont.

I can't speak that well for Vermont (only visited once) but in western Maine/New Hampshire at a similar latitude, summers are warm but very unpredictable, while January in Maine was the coldest I've ever been.

You say this like pop-not-country is somehow better or something

everyone assumes that the pop music they listen to is somehow reflective of some greater music tradition or has more meaning than the pop music they don't listen to. This is not true, it is all cliched, formulaic pap.

Rural Maine has three types of drivers:
1. Drivers who think they've seen a moose. May come to a stop at the side of/in the middle of the road, tend to slow unpredictably.

2. Local residents. Rarely found, may be a myth.

3. Logging truck drivers, who will kill you and everyone you care about.

The best thing about Getty is that it's totally going to fall off that hill one of these days.

That's the Getty Center, which while architecturally impressive always seemed kind of thin on actual exhibits from when I've visited it, given its size.

The Getty Villa is a reproduction Roman villa with lots of artifacts from that area, it'll probably go up in a wildfire.

A Buffalo Wild Wings opened in the space previously occupied by a really good wings restaurant near me. I tried it once and while the wings were average to fair, they seemed to have replaced all the windows in the restaurant with flat-screen televisions and the interior volume was way too loud.

He also knows a guy who was in some branch of the military who won a training exercise by seeing a pilot's name badge through the scope of a "sniper rifle" and another guy who was an FBI informant and had plans to to shoot down a "communication satellite" during the Sochi Olympic coverage.

He's a smart guy, but holy poo poo did someone write "gullible" all over the ceiling.
