"The 840-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is terrifying, no matter the circumstances. It was made to be a drag-strip nightmare, and it is—as far as cars straight from the factory are concerned. The Toyota Prius is also terrifying, when stuck behind it in traffic while in a hurry.

But this is no regular Prius.

Not only is this Prius stuffed with an 800-HP supercharged Dodge SRT Hellcat engine, but it left a Demon so far in the dust on the drag strip over the weekend at Dodge’s Roadkill Nights in Michigan, the Demon’s driver probably needed glasses to keep the little poser in sight. . . . "

not my personal cup of tea but I won't object [ as if I had a choice as to what others choose to post ]
Much better.

But a Hellcat engine in a Prius?

What a waste of a good engine.

They should have stuffed it into an MX5.

I see from the Sports pages that Bob must be happy

and fans of the team formerly known as the Expos are p.o. about their bull pen


two blown saves in a roll, both by walk off home runs


despite what might be the wishes of the fans of the leading teams

" it ain't over till it's over "

and there are plenty of games left to play


Do you mean "it ain't over till the fat lady sings"?

After work on Friday.

I don’t take alcohol on work evenings, and at 2 am my day is just beginning so again, no alcohol.


Is that supplied in the fridges at the big shed?


Should be, like some Swedish companies in Australia supply a different brand for their staff to consume.

Same with me. Well, except for the 2 am talk. The only way I'm willing to meet 2 am awake is by catching it from behind.

But no matter, I don't drink alcohol on a weekday.

Unless I do, of course, but those are just the occasional exception from the don't

The torque on that thing!
Must have been difficult keeping that one straight, judging by the jerking...

nope that is opera, not my cup of tea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_ain%27t_over_till_the_fat_lady_sings

no one attributes it to Berra

[ as far as I know Yogi Berra did not have a little friend named Boo Boo ]

Reminds me, too long since we last went. Opera is definitely my cup of tea.

No.

But back in the day alcohol consumption around the holidays was common, not just at the Big Shed, but at most businesses.

Looks like Brooke is going to need an attorney at law (when you need one they're no longer called lawyers)
I know we have at least two on this thread.
NO newspapers here this morning.
Her stress level is off the chart.
Feel free to use this sweet look photo to plead her case.

If the idea of an animal filing a lawsuit sounds silly, think again.
