the bering strait theory is only a theory we were already here when the asians crossed the ice bridge anyway
Also, a scientific theory is not the same thing as a Detective's theory in a murder mystery or your Aunt's theory about why the neighbors are getting divorced. and... The "God" of the Founding Fathers is probably quite different than the God people who quote the Founding Fathers about God believe in. and... Christmas is about giving, not receiving. and... The original Van Halen is better. and... Chili with beans is not chili. It is soup. Chili = meat and juice. Beans suck up the vital flavors and goodness. A corollary: There is no such thing as vegetarian chili.
If me and you come to a 4 way stop and are facing eachother, and you are going to turn and get in my way, atleast put on your damn signal so I know which way you are turning. And if by chance you forget, don't get mad at me when I honk at you for being stupid and almost causing an accident. The turn signal is there for a reason, use it!
Even though my motorcycle is smaller than your car, you shouldn't just take the lane whenever you want. I might be able to get out the way, or I might not. Some of the people I ride with carry ball bearings in their jacket pockets to throw at cars that drive dangerously.
Just because your motorcycle is smaller doesn't mean that you should be able to drive in between cars and on the shoulder and 100+ MPH in a 50.
Yes, no real Texan would put beans in his chili. You can add items to chili when serving it, like fritos, cheese, jalapenos, etc. But the chili must remain pure while cooking, otherwise, it's just soup.
Most people I see on motorcycles drive pretty well. It's cyclists who I hate. They want to occupy the road and be treated like any other vehicle, no matter how many cars are stuck behind them at 10mph. But then they breeze through red lights and use the sidewalks like the rules of the road don't apply to them. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Well I've got something they can eat...
Fact: You're not technically allowed to exceed the speed limit in order to pass someone. So if I'm in the left lane going the speed limit, wait for me to get back over rather than riding my ass. It's not my fault you want to go 90.
When you're on a one-way street, and you come to a red light at an intersection where you want to turn left, and the street you're turning onto is also one way - TURN. Come to a complete stop and then turn left on the red. Not only is it legal, you should do it because it dramatically improves the flow of traffic. This is especially important when you're driving downtown. oh, and hand up your damn phone while you're driving.
• Constantly changing lanes in bumper to bumper traffic is not going to get you to work any faster. Pick a lane and stay in it until the traffic clears. • If you’re in the HOV lane and you have 12 cars and 2 buses riding your ass, you MIGHT be going a little too slow. There’s no reason to drive 50mph in the HOV lane. Are you worried someone is going to cut you off? • Let the people get OFF the elevator before you get on. And get out of their way while they do it.
- You can make a left turn onto a one way street, on a red light, as long as there is no intersecting traffic. - If you are the first car to pull up to a red light, stay out of the right lane. Leave it open in case the next car to pull up actually needs to go right. Being in the middle/left lane isn't going to make any difference to you, but it might be the difference between me sh_tting my pants and me not sh_tting my pants. - If you're going to merge into my lane right in front of me, either rudely or with my assistance, freaking acknowledge me somehow. - The shoulder is not a lane. - Don't cross solid white lines. It often F's up the flow of traffic when people do this. Is it that hard to wait until it turns dotted?
Unless a sign is posted that prohibits this, you can ALWAYS turn right on a redlight. Nothing pisses me off more than to be behind some "moran" who sits there like a bump on a log when he could have gone. Also, the words lose and loose are not interchangeable. The first one means the opposite of win such as "I hope we don't lose the game" compared to "I hope we don't loose the game." The meaning of the second word is basically the opposite of secure such as "loose" change. Seeing people misspell "lose" with "loose" drives me crazy, too. The weird thing is that you hardly ever see someone misspell "loose" with "lose" but you see it all the time the other way around.
