I've been told that if you can see where the tyres in front of you touch the road, you probably have enough room to pull out of that lane if you're not boxed in, and that's the safe amount to give (from a self-defense point, but seriously, who lives on that high alert? Oh, right. Krav people)
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmm. I don't think I like that standard, as depending on how much rear-overhang the car ahead of you has, the distance could vary a lot.

Do you have a better rule of thumb?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wanda Sykes told a pretty funny rape joke, although it was kind of more of an un-rape joke. She has a lengthy bit about how awesome it would be to have a detachable pussy, and how much it would improve your life, including how it'd be so much easier to go out running late at night; somebody'd jump out of the bushes in Central Park at you and go "RAAR" and you'd say, "No, man, no use, I left it at home."
But, really, that's a Wouldn't it be completely fucking awesome to run around all the time doing what you wanted, when you wanted, without ever having to worry about rape? joke.
And I think Louie CK told another one, once, maybe. But they're pretty damn rare, and Tosh's is epically unqualified to claim company with Sykes or CK's.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Almost the weekend...

(We're on our Summer 4-Day week.)
And I was feeling like crap yesterday and called in sick. So extra short week for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Don't hit the other car.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The "dance like noone's watching" tattoo makes me think someone should have noone as a user name.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Sometimes I laugh when Sarah Silverman makes rape jokes. And I understand some people think my homegirl Melissa Leo got some dubcon off him in his show recently...that show's kinda weird to me, but he does make me laugh. So I might laugh at that. I don't think Daniel Tosh is funny. Like Dane Cook.(I've watched both dudes and thought "They get paid for that?)"
