My son came home tonight, and informed me that a car was down the road from here with a black bear he hit laying dead in the road.

the car is also dead.

I'll assume you knit/crochet - and that's your handy work.

I love it!

Stewie, the evil baby from "Family Guy," scowls from the grille of a Pepperidge Farm delivery truck in Brooklyn Heights...

"Damn you, vile woman! Hang up and drive!"

...mold occasionally sprouting from his forehead.

"And for the love of God, can somebody cleanse me of this filth?"

Wow...they interviewed a whole half dozen truckers before writing this story...two or three times the number of sources for one of their "racism in America" stories.

I'd love to see the NYT try to explain "rat bikes."

LOL.

Reminds me of "Buck on a Bike" by Patrick McManus.

Dang that's the second time this week.

Now I'm going to have to check out the book it is in to read it again since I can't find the story online anymore.

I think I once posted the whole thing on a Testing/Ignore this thread.

...it was pouring down rain and lashed to the right fender was a cage with his cat in it, the cat was NOT happy.

Well, where else would you transport a damn cat?

You sure as hell don't want him in the cab with you...

Cats travel in cars quite well. They will settle down once they have found a comfortable place.

Usually it is on top of your head with their claws dug securely into your scalp.

I have a sticker that says, "Keep your distance, I chew redman", and one that says,"If it weren't for flashbacks,
I'd have no memory at all!", and "I've been to Dreamland!".

The one on the door says," Caution, driver only carries
$20 worth of ammunition.".

Very clever optical illusion there.

There appears to be a Jeep in the photo.
