The world’s leading anthropological authority on NASCAR (by default). I once broke traction in a Citroën Ami and I’ve been chasing that high ever since.
I also lost on Jeopardy!

Every so often I think about my most memorable Uber experience: when the driver went on a long rant about “political correctness” that ended with him saying, “they couldn’t remake Dukes of Hazzard today, they’d have to make one of them GAY”

I’m wearing a sweatshirt with a Saab on it. If I take it off, it reveals I’m wearing a t-shirt with a Skoda on it.
