10 Cars I kinda want, yet they vex me.

• Dodge Nitro – Looks like a Tonka Truck, drives like ass
• Chevrolet HHR SS – Available in a panel van (!), but FWD turbo?
• Mazda RX-8 – Too many doors, too few turbos.
• Chevrolet Camaro – Retro looks, but too fat and a few ugly bits
• Dodge Challenger – See above
• BMW M3 – Damn you Chris Bangle
• Honda Ridgeline – Great truck-thing, needs to be butched up a bit
• Subaru WRX – Wanted to buy one, could not get past the ugly
• Hummer H1 – Yes I know, but I still kinda want one
• Mercedes AMG anything – No manual transmission

A Shack Stack, fries & a Fair Shake from the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.

What is that thing in the middle of the stack, you ask? That is a cheese-stuffed deep fried portobello mushroom… sitting on the cheeseburger’s head like a giant greasy crown.

My life is complete.

Thanks to Carlybug for taking us.

I would have twittered (tweeted? twated?) that, but I’m not a douche.

Headed for the elevator of the W hotel in Manhattan the couple ahead of me, Bubba and Barbie, ask the doorman whether it is OK to drink the water in New York.

The doorman helpfully answers “yes, though some New Yorkers boil their water with a little vinegar”.

The elevator closes.

Barbie is momentarly silent except for the squeeking of the hamster wheel in her head.

The hamster having recharged her mouth motor, Barbie asks “What’s vinegar?”

Bubba responds “You know when I make a salad, and I don’t want to put dressing, so I use oil and vinegar?”

Barbie furrows her brow “yeah?”

“Well it’s not the oil.”

“Oh.”
