I go back to NJ all the time to visit daughter. Even in that area of South Jersey... I am amazed how densely populated it is for a smaller, less spread out area... Always some aggravated driver on your azz morning, noon, & night! Even out in the sticks! Suburbanites do "block" too! Just an aggressive clustereff. If they need to post road signs about it, then there's a problem!

@QCity Surprising in this day and age the drunk was that honest about the situation. He's gonna have to live with that forever! The question is... 40 minutes after sunset, did bicycles have their lights on? Again, NOT excusing the DUI... So many impatient drivers... Even my deer strike was a product of it... I was wondering why the guy ahead moved left and stopped. They saw deer and I didn't! I thought he was pulling up to a house, driveway... /smdh... But I also slowed and the deer darted for my headlights right into me. More like it hit me. I would have definitely saw a properly lit bike ahead of me! Hopefully the family heals.

Probably played out dude was tailgatimg vehicle ahead. Went left to pass, then Vehicle ahead moved to center, azzzhole on tail thought they were "blocking" and picked the right (which is insane, never pass on right) thinking it was safer route to pass then the oncoming lanes... Then 💥, because of the tailgating didn't see why vehicle ahead moved over. ...People are wicked aggressive out there... Especially back east. Not exonerating driver, if they were drunk, totally inexcusable. Let's see what test results are. So sad...

Maybe... But bicycles should have lights. YET... I hit a deer like that 2 years ago just past sunset. A vehicle slowed down... They obviously saw something, which I didn't process... I thought they were stopping at a house. I wasn't going fast, but I didn't creep around... Maybe 10 to 15mph... 💥 deer ran right into driver's side front, deer turned around ran back and collapses dead on lawn. $7,000 damage to truck. Point is, didn't even see what happened... I learned my lesson, don't second guess the driver ahead of you, they see things drivers behind don't. Never in a million years did I have deer on my mind. It was the Friday before the Bills playoff loss to Cincy @ home. I wish the deer had lights! Oh... I wasn't drunk. Totally sober. NOT distracted either If that deer was a bicycle(s) I would never lived it down. Thank God it was 20°F & January!

If he had 3 rights, it would definitely solve @Augie 's problem of making a left!

Wow! So sad... RIP... Here's the breakdown. The guy was gonna pass left in the oncoming lane, but vehicle ahead of him moved left to avoid bikes... The jerk then went right and plowed into the bikes. There's gotta be a special place in hell for jerks like this guy! "John Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were riding their bikes north on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township on Thursday at 8:19 p.m. At the same time, Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee north on County Route 551, according to investigators. Higgins tried to pass two vehicles ahead of him and entered the southbound lanes, police said. An SUV in front of Higgins moved to the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass the Gaudreau brothers as they rode they their bikes on the right side of the road, according to investigators." 😔😟

Why they call it a "stick shift"
ExiledInIllinois replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall
Probably hysterical! Funnier if it was "3 on the tree." When my father met my mother, he had a '55 Chevy. He always pulled through, never reversed... Getting it in reverse meant climbing under the car and finding the scrambled up linkage he never fixed permanently. 😆 Mom definitely married down! -
Do you make your bed in the morning?

Do you make your bed in the morning?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall
Don't make your bed! Here's why: https://www.today.com/home/scientists-keep-mites-away-leave-your-bed-unmade-every-day-t43496 "...Those who are terrified of creepy crawlies may want to stop reading now. Here's why: Leaving the bed unmade, according to scientists who spoke with the BBC, allows the million or so dust mites who share the sack with you every night to die off. This should come as a bit of a relief to people who don't make like their bed, much like — according to his wife, Christina Geist — our very own Willie Geist. ..." -
Sarsparilla I thought was root beer, specifically birch beer? Vernor's is pre-Prohibition ginger ale. My grandmother loved that stuff. I can't taste it today and not flash back to my grandmother's apartment! Pale dry ginger ale (pre-Prohibition too) mixes better.

Bunch of yellowbellies! I only drink Sarsaparilla!

What's the deal with Mighty Taco these days?
ExiledInIllinois replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Or... Checkers in WNY just seems weird!! I cringed when I saw them springing up in BFLo area. Like seeing a White Castle there. Here White Castle is WNY's version of Mighty... Late night drunk food. Put a Mighty here and it would probably flop. Nostalgia plays a part with the bar crowd. -

RIP Greg! I liked Weird Al's awesome parody tribute: https://youtu.be/BvUZijEuNDQ?si=WgkC5waMjqPCoBWM @Mike in Horseheads "Ohhhhhh... I was there, to match my intellect, on national TV, Against a plumber, and an architect, both with a Ph.D. I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn't my night. Art Fleming gave the answers, Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right-ight-ight..."
