But it’s like, at some point, you have to accept reality. MSU owns you.
Waiting for football season at this point.

Football season? Really? Oh, sure, just a short eternity away. Until then, you have plenty of time to reflect on today’s unfortunate turn of events.

WIFLSRN: After leaving church this morning, I don’t know if I still believe that Elon Musk is the antichrist anymore. Apparently, according to this morning’s sermon, reading from the book of Daniel, the antichrist will appear charming and desirable to many. So… that means he’s supposed to be good looking. If that’s the case, then Elon Musk is NOT the antichrist.

Yeah, why? Certain airlines have always gotten large shipping discounts with us. Sun Country is one of them. You were a flight attendant for them, right?

So what you’re saying, CG, is that you think Musk is ugly? Is that what you’re saying? Lol

So, while I was standing in line, there was a lady being helped in front of me, and I saw her show the FedEx guy her Sun Country employee I.D. so she could get her discount. Then I told her I worked for Sun Country as a flight attendant 20 years ago and I had no idea about a FedEx discount. She was also a flight attendant. I was so mad I didn’t know about it, lol.

Yes! I mean, his facial features are like arranged in a way that technically qualifies as a face? It’s like he has a very distinctive look, like.. if someone described “handsome” over a bad phone connection to an artist, and then the sculptor just guessed the rest. I mean, his face is like a “Halloween mask” kind of a face. Know what I mean?

LOL you just gave a detailed explanation of why you think Musk is ugly. Just say Elon Musk is an ugly mofo to you. That’s all you gotta say, CG.

Nice try, but Minnesota barely gets any power from Ontario. I mean, it’s not like the whole state is gonna go dark or something, when in reality, it’s just another day? And then, Xcel Energy doesn’t even use Ontario’s electricity, and Minnesota Power imported like a really low dollar amount worth last year, or something like that. That’s like barely pocket change. And then, we generate most of our own energy, because, well… we actually know how to run a state? I mean, you know who our governor is by now, I’m sure. Like, who doesn’t?

Okay, sorry for the TED Talk on his face, lol. Ok, ahem… Elon Musk is an ugly mofo. That mofo looks like an underbaked biscuit — pale, lumpy, and like seriously struggling out here. I swear, someone should like, slap some butter on that boy before he crumbles. How’s that? Better?

I was just commenting to my husband yesterday that I think he's had a lot of work done, especially lately. And he didn't get the "wow that's a huge change but it looks so natural" that Lindsay Lohan got.

Yeah, that’s how it sounds. It’s black. The popping sound comes from a combination of fuel tuning, exhaust dynamics, and turbo operation, especially during acceleration, deceleration, or shifting. Best car I’ve ever owned. By far the quickest.

Dude, you’re posting to me like I speak and understand the same car language you speak and understand. I’m not a car guy, remember? Lol. I see you changed your siggy. That car must be bad ass because I’ve never seen you mention any of your cars in your siggy. Got another stick shift huh? Nice.

Alpha black. Great choice.

Sticks aren’t available for these. It has a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. So the AWD system is has works best with computer-controlled gear shifts for maximum traction. Plus, it makes too much power for a traditional manual gearbox to handle reliably. That’s why a stick isn’t available. That part I’ll miss. I love traditional manual transmission.

With the popping, it runs a rich air-fuel mixture, especially during shifts and throttle lift-off. What happens is unburnt fuel enters the exhaust system, where it ignites due to the high heat, causing the popping or crackling noise. It’s especially noticeable if I put it in sport or race mode, where the ECU keeps the throttle open longer for performance. The ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the computer that controls the engine’s operation. And the twin-turbochargers it has build up a lot of boost, so when you let up off the throttle aggressively, too fast or quickly, excess air and fuel are released, which also contributes to the popping sound as the turbos relieve pressure.

“Bad ass” is an understatement man. It’s just insanely unreal. It will eat some Lambos and Ferraris for lunch. It’s that brutally fast. And at launch, it’s just blistering.

Boys and their toys. They go from Hot Wheels to real wheels. Boys go from playing with toy cars on the floor to grown men sitting in the garage, admiring their real ones for hours. The behavior never changes, except the price tag and the wife in the background saying, “Are you seriously going sit there and stare at it all night?”

LMAO! I think most dudes are like that, CG. I’ve been playing golf since I was 4, and I still haven’t put the golf clubs down. I don’t think I’m as passionate about my hobby as PB is with his though. Any time you make a career out of something you’re passionate about that’s passion extreme. Dude loves him some cars Lol.

Elon has managed to father 14 children with 4 different mothers - perhaps it's his money that is attractive? We assumed it was looks in Revelations, but it could be power/money?

My mom used to say "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys"

Oh yeah, I'm back from Spain- great trip! Wish I could stay there. Had to repeatedly mention to people (tour guides, airbnb hosts, etc) that we aren't supporters of the orange one. They relaxed and told us how afraid they are for the world with him in charge. Yep, us too- us too.
