    how do you pronounce 'salmon'

    growing up there was a kid I knew who said Sal-man. He only ever said it once, but after that me and some friends said it a couple times to make fun of him. Somehow that stuck with me and still do this day (about 15 years later) sometimes sal-man slips out of my mouth unintentionally. Lesson...

    Speaking of posers

    I never understood the whole fake badge thing. Those who would care, know the difference. Those who don't know the difference, don't care either way. it's pointless.

    Cool Optical Illusion Advertising in the German Bundesliga(Soccer)

    Yes, it's designed to look like an upright sign-board from the specific angle of the central broadcast camera. Seen from any other angle/camera it'll be either not be visible at all or severely stretched and unreadable.

    Cool Optical Illusion Advertising in the German Bundesliga(Soccer)

    I was debating about circling it or taking better shots. Still watching the game so i'll get a better shot if they come up.

    Cool Optical Illusion Advertising in the German Bundesliga(Soccer)

    http://imgur.com/DaUGG.jpg I don't think I've seen this in any other leagues, regardless, it's a neat idea. Great way to advertise while keeping a dangerous area safe for players. Edit: Another angle added so it's more clear what's happening.

    Do you ever take a drink with food still in your mouth?

    BTW if you didn't check my example. It's a pretty hilarious series about a fat guy in a batman costume called "How-To, Batman". And thanks all for enlightening me.

    Do you ever take a drink with food still in your mouth?

    Wow, totally not the reaction I was expecting, unless I'm being trolled. I'll give this a shot next meal I guess.

    Do you ever take a drink with food still in your mouth?

    I see this all the time in movies and in real life but have yet to ever do this myself. The idea just creeps me out, I feel like it would totally ruin the experience of whatever you're eating. Have you ever done this? Even when I bite into something that's too hot I prefer to just take it rather...

    Two eggs one... .... ... egg.

    probably not fake, but he knew exactly what was inside before he cracked it, hence the camera and the dramatic display. Farmers use light to see inside eggs to check 'em out, which is how double egg yolks are supposed to be filtered out.

    What is the most addictive drug? Legal or illegal.

    That's what I learned. Whichever organization that came up with that factored in things like how easy it is to obtain. For caffeine, everyone already takes it all the time anyway, that produced a high ranking for it some how.

    Improving Fuel Mileage

    Unless there are any sorts of hills, cruise does the exact opposite of what's right in any sort of elevation change. Accelerate about 10 mph faster before a hill so you can coast up it. Never fight the gravity down a hill, cruise will hold you at the speed you told it to.

    i've seen a lot of pics that look great. Though i've never seen it in person so i can't say whether it'd be a good idea. different strokes anyway though.

    Didn't know about the Ford/Honda joint venture.

    i've never understood rebadging a car like that. Like a bmw 3 i once saw with an M3 badge on it. People who know the difference: know it's fake, and that you're an idiot. People who don't know: don't care what it is, so it's pointless. Lose lose really

    Noob tire question

    forgive me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the door pillar/manual suggested pressure only apply to the OEM tires? Since i assume these are aftermarket, won't they have their own suggested pressure value? new to cars, but that's how i've come to understand it.

    Battlestar Galactica: Razor - When to watch it?

    Bands you'd probably like if it wasn't for the vocalist

    I wouldn't listen to GnR if it wasn't Axl, his voice is amazing. And Rush wouldn't be unique without geddy. Sure they're amazing musicians, but they would sound too similar to other bands without his influence.

    Roughly a month in, we love our 2010 Jetta TDI

    just picked up a Golf TDI 3 days ago so i share your joy :-) A note however, the green light on right side of the display i assume is the cruise control. From what i've read you should avoid cruise control and constant RPMs for the first 5,000 miles or so while you're breaking in the engine...

    Lamin-X a good idea?

    here in Texas i believe break lights must be visible from 1000ft. I probably won't tint my heads/tails anyway since i think they look pretty nice already. However i'm definitely going to tint the side markers.

    Lamin-X a good idea?

    follow up question: with lamin-x or plasti-dip, how well does the light shine through? i'd still like the break/signal lights to be as bright as they would be in stock. Just worried about it since i've seen some really bad DIY smoking on some riced cars and you can barely see the brake lights...

    Lamin-X a good idea?

    I bought a 2010 Golf TDI today and am already thinking about a few customizations. First up would be the badges/lights. I really like white - black contrast so i was thinking about some smoked lights or something for my white car. Does anyone have any experience with Lamin-X? Easy to install...
