"double-decker bus accident" might get some hits on google

Not just the categories you named suzy but yes

terry gross sounds generally dispassionate.

andrew m., Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:38 (seven years ago)

if I had to guess I would guess that huge unwieldy cars like those limousines get in fewer than average fatal accidents because people tend to be more careful when they're driving awkward cars

but I am not a stretch limo statistics expert

Plenty of ludicrously huge limos full of drunk people running round Sauchiehall St on a Fri night.

Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:47 (seven years ago)

Stretch Humvees are pretty hilarious, even with the gun turret.

I am seriously weirded out that a thousand people went to the limo crash vigil.

then you turn left. if you see the limo crash vigil, you've gone too far.

See you me and Julio down by the limo wreck

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:38 (seven years ago)

Limo crash vigil? I 'ardly know 'er!

their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the limo crash vigil

for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:48 (seven years ago)

Streets used to be named for the place they aimed at. Thus Limo Crash Vigil Street, if you followed it nine miles, brought you to the Limo Crash Vigil.

for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:55 (seven years ago)

we were somewhere on the edge of the limo crash vigil when the drugs began to take hold

Ohhhhhhhh loool

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a limo crash vigil must be in want of a wife.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to the limo crash vigil

people who say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" when they are told that reducing meat consumption can help curb global warming are actually just weak willed pussies who are scared of eating vegetables

crüt, Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:24 (seven years ago)

People say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" ?

everything, Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:36 (seven years ago)

i wouldn't say individual actions don't _matter_, but it is a bit of a pie-baking response.

dub pilates (rushomancy), Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:38 (seven years ago)

what the hell is a pie-baking response

Sorry, not controversial, but we're all fucking doomed.

^ I'm pretty sure I know the provenance of that photo. If I'm correct the flames and the golfers were on opposite sides of the Columbia River and a long telephoto lens is distorting their apparent proximity to one another. But, purely as an image, it captures a lot more than the pure facts would suggest.

A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 14 October 2018 00:04 (seven years ago)

Well aware of telephoto juxtaposition, but still, FUCK GOLF! (is that controversial enough?)\

Golf was well on its way to dying among younger generations before Trump. After Trump, I suspect this will accelerate. Its the sport of the arrogant and oblivious.

I've gotten on the orienteering bandwagon. Someday, drones will turn orienteering into a major sport.

The angry speech in Falling Down about golf courses being a waste of space really influenced my high school mind and I have hated golf ever since

Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 14 October 2018 13:54 (seven years ago)

golf is good

Dmac TT (darraghmac), Sunday, 14 October 2018 14:04 (seven years ago)

I don't like golf, but P.G. Wodehouse's golfing stories are almost good enough (i.e. really fucking good) to make me appreciate it.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 14 October 2018 14:34 (seven years ago)

this thread is too controversial sometimes.. yow ! burning my eyes! Although to stay on topic, last night I was rather drunk and for some mysterious reason, ended up watching a Jeeves & Wooster ep on youtube. And thinking: this might be quite good without Fry + Laurie!

calzino, Sunday, 14 October 2018 14:47 (seven years ago)

Lol, sanpaku - I live in St. Andrews, and I sympathise. It uses so much space, but it’s like half the economy here. But I don’t understand people who watch it...

Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:03 (seven years ago)

Space is scarce in insular Europe and U.S. coastal urban areas. It is plentiful in the U.S. midwest, the U.S. montane west, the steppes of Asia, the Australian interior, Greenland, and Antarctica.

I propose that golfing should continue, but in those places instead.

Yah Mo B. Hawkins (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:11 (seven years ago)

Golf is good, you can rent clubs like renting bowling balls, poor people like me can play too

brimstead, Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:12 (seven years ago)

it’s not about physical space, it’s about water

1-800-CALL-ATT (Karl Malone), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:12 (seven years ago)

Then maybe let them do it on the ocean floor?

Yah Mo B. Hawkins (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:15 (seven years ago)

Alaska is both spacious and wet.

Yah Mo B. Hawkins (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:16 (seven years ago)

golf is such a wanker's game on so many levels

calzino, Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:19 (seven years ago)

Golf is p cool

F# A# (∞), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:22 (seven years ago)

can actually remember turning up at a posh golf (as poor as fuck white kid) course with intentions to offer caddying services for cash. Some group of young black kids had got there before us and were shouting: " there is a queue here, you white cunts!" ahh ..the spirit of golf!

calzino, Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:24 (seven years ago)

I've never had played at a "nice" course, just mangy 9holes

brimstead, Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:29 (seven years ago)

I like mini-golf a lot

I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:36 (seven years ago)

oh, here's a controversial opinion - minigolf is a superficial and tedious sort of "fun" far more entertaining in the abstract than it is to actually play

dub pilates (rushomancy), Sunday, 14 October 2018 16:39 (seven years ago)

That’s an advantage though, since if you can’t play minigolf you can get 90% of the fun by just thinking about minigolf. The last 10% is the fun of arguing
