They're insane! They have to be pretty good or they'd all be dead given their tailgating and high speeds and roadhoggedness.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I'm still not convinced. I've driven in Utah, and Texas drivers actually let people in. On Utah highways, turning on your blinker is red flag and a cattleprod. You have to sneak changing lanes.
Also, the disparagement of Texas will bring you the wrath of David Bowie, and no one wants that.

If I remember corectly from his autobiography, Asimov said he wanted his last words to be "I love you" towards his wife, and she mentioned that that's what he actually said.
Others:
"God, now's your time to pay ! Watch out, I'm coming !"
"Well, life sucks anyway..."
"Going down..."
"I'm SURE it's the red wire !!"
"And now to find out why the chicken went to the other side !"

"glory to the emperor, death to the shogun, hurray for the shi shi, Sonno Joi"!
"Now I'm full"
"Damned females"
"You know... I'm just doing this to get out of work..."
"I'm not really a nice guy, that's just a face I kept on all my waking life life so I could get what I wanted."
"NO, the fact that I have an X chromosome does NOT mean that I am half gay!!!"
"Life's too darn easy, I always get what I want. This sucks, I wish I were dead."
"See you in hell"
"No, actually, I am not an ninety year old man and I did not just do your hot 20 year old wife right in front of you and she has not been cheating on you with me for the last year and a half and no you're not going to use that pistol to shoot me with just because you don't think you can take me."
