I don't always watch Fox News, but when I do, I'm only oogling Megyn Kelly. Too bad she is ******* stupid and needs to keep her trap shut, except maybe for when I'm docking my submarine in her pen. That new short hair style she has is quite ******* hot.

Bridgestone RE-11 are some pretty awesome tires. So much more responsive, so much more grip, better ride and more quiet than my old Falken ZE-912's. Of course that's what you get with a better engineered tire with stiffer sidewalls, better tread design, 140 vs 360 treadwear...

Surely at least as good, if not a little better. I always thought the 912's were pretty good street rubber, which in their respect, they are, but they are also an all season tire with a pretty hard compound for a longer tire life. But the RE-11 completely blows it away in every way. They could actually be better, but I have a 205/55 on a 6.5'' wheel, so they are a bit bunched on the wheel. On a 7 or 7.5'' wheel they would really shine. Overall grip is phenomenal, and at the limits they seem pretty predictable. I'm pretty responsible on the road, but I can't help myself on long loop on-ramps and interchanges, as well as back roads with low traffic. One of my favorite ramps I could take on the 912 at about 65 with the rear end right on the edge of breaking loose, I would have to feather the throttle and correct to keep it on the road. This morning on the new tires I took it quite leisurely at 75 with no signs of breaking traction. AWESOME! It actually has brought up a new issue. My FM springs are too soft, at those speeds turning that hard I had some rubbing issues from body roll. Which is fine, Mono Flex are on my check list of parts to buy for build mark II

Sometimes I wish my elbows had giant spikes on them.
Walking to the check out in the 20ft wide lanes of Home Depot. A family of three walks in through the exit, led by an exposed 300lb gut peeking out through an undersized shirt. The fat ***** walks straight towards me, fat **** father followed by fat **** wife and fat **** son, obnoxiously enough that I had to completely stop while they zigzagged around left right left around me.
