The Chevy Spark is an ugly a** car. Yay, it's electric. Boo, no one would want to be seen driving one. - Krusty Oct 12, 09:30 20

  - You guys are just a bunch of old fuddy-duddies! - Stephen Oct 12, 10:12 1
    - I've been waiting ten years to like the Prius. No luck yet. it's just ugly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 10:14
  - I'd drive right to a dealership to trade it in for something else. The huge hood/front end is terrible. - Krusty Oct 12, 10:11 1
    - I agree, except I actually *like* the Smart Car. This, however is awful. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 10:14
  - That's an ugly-assed car. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 10:00 1
    - this. -- nm - decline Oct 12, 10:01

    - No way! - Stephen Oct 12, 09:53 4
      - I think I dislike the headlights the most. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 09:54 1
        
        They're huge and quite bad looking. But I think the whole front end is terrible. - Krusty Oct 12, 10:13
      - Scion's are fun and edgy. Those are hideous. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 09:54 1
        
        I hate car pictures taken from that angle. Lens distortion means you can't see the real silhouette. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 09:57
- it looks like a yaris or a versa. it's not that bad. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 09:32 1

The Raiders only had 10 men on the field for the last play against Houston -- (link) - amoxy Oct 12, 09:24 3
- I have to say that Tebow would have scored right there. Schaub has a lane to the end zone...should have taken it. -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 09:28 1
  - Matt Schaub is not Tim Tebow. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 09:37

    - we're 51, which proves that *all research, no teaching or student services* does not a winner make. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 09:45 5
      - It's kind of absurd that they are that high on the list. No offense. - MDH Oct 12, 09:50 2
        
        we're just really research-focused here. I mean, if that's a criteria on which greatness is judged, we're great. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 10:18 1
        
        sure, that's what universities should do. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 10:25
      - Sounds like we went to the same school. - Strongbad Oct 12, 09:47 1
        
        I only went here for my MBA. for undergrad I went to a tiny school. S/F ratio was like 12:1. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 10:17
The drain is winning! - The Bub Oct 12, 09:23 1
- heh -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 12, 10:26
I would love to have a Popeye's that's in a nice neighborhood and has a clientele that is unlikely to stab you. -- nm - con_carne Oct 12, 09:22 1
