Did the pig have life size balls? This is important.

Brachs also are the psychopaths who made "Taco Truck" jelly beans and someone needs to be in jail for that nonsense.



Flavors: Margarita, churro, salsa, guacamole, beef taco, and horchata

Yes, I tried them. Yes, they're disgusting.

I think it is important to note that these are Late Night Taco Truck Jelly Beans.

How do the british end up looking even more inbred than icelanders when the latter has a much smaller gene pool?

IIRC the Icelanders have an elaborate system for tracking family relations so that they don't accidentally marry their cousins/uncles/aunts/etc.

A weird system developed around this HOV-pickup thing in the DC suburbs where people gather in certain places, like an empty parking lot for a defunct store, and line up waiting for someone to pick them up to take HOV lanes to the Pentagon or into DC or whatever. It's called 'slugging' for some reason. It seems to have just naturally evolved on its own, which is pretty neat I think.

Meanwhile here in Communist Germany we don't have HOV lanes on the Autobahn, but we do have official, government owned and maintained parking lots for ride sharing.

Blue Moonlight posted:

The thing I’ve always wondered about this is why the gravel part is necessary. Digging a hole, dumping your oil in it, and filling it would have the same effect.

The only way I could see it being possibly useful is if you intended to keep using the same hole, and the gravel was acting as some sort of pretend filter, but you wouldn’t be covering it with soil at the end.

I wonder how many sheds and garages in America are just surrounded by oily, gravel-filled mini Superfund sites.

Maybe using gravel instead of filling the hole back in is to ensure that the oil won’t be drawn back to the surface by capillary action.
