Tesla Model S - it's electric →
In general, I don’t really like electric cars. Sure, the Tesla roadster was kinda fast, but why wouldn’t you just buy an Elise and not worry about the battery crapping out on you in a couple…
loving the fact that twitter shows the whole world how bad some people spell (@ruprict)

Going to bed to avoid anymore out of state abuse from @ruprict

Or just get everyone to laugh at you? I can’t think of a better use for old blow up dolls, can you? Just be careful if weirdos start following you. Closely.
You make me sick →
Well, not you specifically, more like ex F1 driver Damon Hill driving a little too fast for a journalist as they’re reviewing a Merc. The air they get in the middle is pretty impressive, especially…
think the imminent snow storm deserves a trip to Tony’s to make sure we’ve got plenty meat in the fridge to tide us over. Any excuse ;-)

OS UI's from the last 28 years →
I made a funny (geek) joke. It doesn’t happen very often (ever). Comedy skills are officially going back into retirement
Ninja Umbrella →

At a Mexican restaurant called Chubbies. Trying to decide if I should be scared or not…
