shed [chat]

"Shed" is a term for a particularly interesting or well maintained second hand car that is so old its price has sunk below a grand.

Bask in the shedness!

blazer_008.jpg

Bashed together from an unusual mixture of wide-grain plastic, pig iron, pewter and buffalo scrotums, the Blazer easily met your performance expectations, as long as they were nice and low. The spec sheet says 112mph and a 0-60 of 10.1 seconds, but it would be a brave man indeed who would attempt to grind that sort of progress out of the 4.3-litre vee-six. Much better to amble around at 38mph or so, your brace of prizewinning shire horses in tow, comfortable in the knowledge that the chap behind you was breathing in a heady cocktail of 330 grams of CO2 every single kilometre. That's about one Imperial pound of noxiousness every mile. Wow! And, indeed, cough!

GASP

We can't move on without addressing the front end styling. It's not much to look at. Some would say it's on the grisly side of vile. No-one is quite sure who was responsible for it, but Ford maintains they sold Scorpios aplenty in spite of it. Mind you, they would say that.
Fact is, as we've said so often before, you're not the mug who has to look at it. What you will be looking at from the lavish padding of your leather armchair is a bonnet covering a historic engine: the Cologne V6. And one with the even more legendary Cosworth name written on it to boot.

Wooooooooooooowwwwww

    I will forever love shed for the sentence "Visually, Volvo's first front-wheel drive car erred on the challenging side of unusual when it first appeared in 1986."

    I watched Burress's new one the other day and while I liked it I don't think I liked it as much as his albums

    I feel like I have this issue a lot with Netflix specials. I don't know if it's because they always seem to be edited down 15-20min from the live act or if it's just some of my favorite dudes tend to record them at off peak times or what

    Yeah, having seen Jeselnik and Buress before filming the specials I do feel like some of the magic is lost in the editing.

    I think as well with this Jeselnik one, they are trying really hard to focus on vaguely disgruntled yet still laughing audience members.

    my boss and fellow managers are so incredibly rad

    make it in to work, doing terribly- loud, raspy, painful cough and runny nose and eyes-squinting sinus congestion etc. i start to get dizzy and my boss sees me and is like come on, let's get you home

    i couldn't be without my car (school tomorrow) so my boss drives me home in my car and one of my fellow managers drives behind us so they can both get back to the store. also my boss is just gonna take a long lunch and close in my stead, even tho she opens tomorrow.

    man

    love dis boss

    I would honest to god love just run of the mill PI stories with occasional super hero antics. Let the real villain be extensive corruption and decay while Jones tries to solve murders and deal with some jackass that can see in the dark.
