That all makes me nervous, too, but driving a flatboat on the bayou, and driving at night on the empty streets, has made me feel much more comfortable with the principle of driving.

See, that's what I keep hearing, but when the emergency actually happened, I instinctively hit the brake instead of the gas.



I never got the "balance on two wheels" part of riding a bike, and I never owned a skateboard. I got my non-car experience from driving boats.


We all learn in different ways :p

And yea, I got used to drive with only my right foot. The fact is that it does improve reaction time, it's just NOT that significant. However, one foot is much better than two on auto. Not everyone drives like that of course, same as not everyone drives with both hands on the wheel or does signal to merge.

By the way, if you're one of those people who merge lanes without putting the signal I will hunt you down and make your life miserable by injecting poptart puree in your bloodstream. It pisses me off when people actually don't put their signal to merge, is a fucking 1 second move. ONE. You have to be lazy as fuck to not put the signal to merge. Fuck.

And, pray tell, what's that favorite party? :p

Ever thought you saw something move in a dark corner? Have there been moments that you hurried to turn on the lights in your house? The Crawling Darkness is always there. And when darkness falls and the sun has disappeared behind the horizon, the Crawling Darkness claims its domain.

Well... I only somewhat support them, because they're quasi-libertarian. But yes, you remember well.

A UKIP politician followed me, and I only had 23 followers before that, because I rarely use Twitter.

A return of Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill is certainly interesting.

I wonder how good this film is going to be under Disney. Although since George Lucas is going to be involved I bet it is not going to disappoint.

There's truly no hope for you, now is there? The only reason that political parties such as UKIP appear to have libertarian tendencies is because they know that's how you reel in the delusional. But hey, have fun re-reading Atlas Shrugged.
