uhhh.... no. It's not a hardwood floor. you can see it's made of several small mats connected in a jigsaw kind of way. I would guess it's some sort of cork actually.

I don't get how they don't fall back on the track more often than not... especially before you get to a competitive level. Several ways... not enough jump to get past vertical and towards the mats, slipping down the pole, letting go too soon... I'd guess holding the pole too long is probably bad as well, but I'd think you'd likely still end up on the mats at least, just knock the bar off... though momentum would become an issue at some point too I'd think.

Most of those street crashes came from people not realizing that sometimes hitting the gas even HARDER is your safest course of action.

Trying to do a straight burnout, starts to drift, lifts off the gas, keeps drifting, crashes. If they had just matted the gas and did a doughnut, the inertia would be bled off by the ass end, causing the fronts to stick and spin them away from the various objects.

If so, what a weird way to put that. I would hope it was only 3 hours of hard scrubbing, not 47. Poor little guy!
It looks like it might need another hour of work still, I see a lot of matted fur. I also hope they didn't just release it back into the streets.

No dude, you're just getting started being called to the mat and you slinkety-slink the fuck away??? You orchestrated your own demise on this one, Sir Done.

I for my, have no transferable or proven or legitimate strategy whatsoever with regard to any game, life, or fundamental existence in a world virtual or otherwise.... Experiential stamina however, affords her luxury when tinctured with a sheer will and a general joyfulness about having to put up with bullshit. WHEN said bullshit comes in the form of some anonymous individual saaaaay, who pops-in via an internet portal disguised as a welcome mat at yer mum's cousin's house because they "knows" you better than you know yourself, reads a few rules then proceeds to try and hand me my ass and feed it to me and tell me how it should taste?? Yeah, that's the kind of damaged cunt that needs a time fucking out.

Enjoyed your time-out so far ya fuckin' cunts?? Good. Now y'all can continue to fuck the FUCK off!

Love you gorillaman, and thank you for the sage wisdom that only a solid wanker like yourself can serve iced-cold

I'm on the fence with this. The dog was obviously really frightened before the noose came out. A stray that runs away from part of a burger is terrified.
They could have taken their time and caught it slower though. They certainly scared the crap out of it when it was caught, not surprisingly. It likely had trouble seeing or moving with that matted hair, and was also likely abused in the year it was on the street. A nice end to the story (I'm assuming it's been adopted), but it could have been a better beginning.
I'm just glad there wasn't any Sarah McLachlan.

I love when grammar nazis don't actually look up the point they're trying to make, to make sure they're right. See no. 2 under tr.v. (transitive verb).

Yeah it looked like he was going pretty fast.

Hopefully because there was video involved the person pulling out onto the road can catch a break.

I'm a good judge of depth and speed but not a lot of people are. They just assume you're going the same speed as everyone else and based their judgement off that.

Plus they also pulled into the lambo lane too, but there was a car double parked in the other lane!

It's like WHOSE AT FAULT THE LEGAL GAME or something.

Also yes Matte Black is sexy I have my bike all Matte'd (Matted?) out in black.

I agree that saying things like "wow, that's pretty good for a girl" is the height of ignorance.

OTOH, size is never irrelevant. Sorry, but between two evenly skilled fighters, the bigger one wins. Why do you think they have weight classes in UFC?

While someone with good technique can absolutely defeat someone bigger/stronger than them, you're fooling yourself if you think it's irrelevant.

And for the record, I train with women in martial arts pretty much daily. I know plenty that are half my size, but with excellent technique. Gender doesn't and shouldn't matter on the mat.

They put a foaming agent used in Yoga mats and running shoes in the hamburger buns (same stuff Subway was busted for BTW). The stuff is so nasty it carries a mandatory prison sentence in some countries if you feed it to people.

Does anyone actually believe anything they have to say about their food?

Let's look at the scripture in a little more detail:

Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

This scripture is at the tail end of a conversation Jesus had with a young rich man. The young man had inquired of the Lord how he could have eternal life. The answer Jesus gave was simple, "sell your possesions and follow me." In the rest of the scripture we see that the only requirements for salvation is a confession of Jesus as Lord and a belief that He was raised from the dead. So, why did the Lord give the additional requirement to the rich young man of selling all of his possessions? We see why in the next verse:

Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

This man, even knowing that Jesus could instruct him on how to attain eternal life, could not follow after the Lord because he loved his wealth more than God. This is what Jesus said in Matthew 6:24

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

His riches were the stumbling block preventing him from following the Lord, and that is why the Lord dealt with it there. The Lord knew He was a slave to his wealth and could not bear to be parted from it, even at the expense of his eternal life. This is a reason why the Lord warned us in Matthew 16:26

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Which is to say, that if someone laid all the wealth of the world at your feet, and you traded your soul for it, you would have made an unprofitable deal. The wealth of this world is perishing and will pass away, and we along with it, but those who do the will abide with Him forever. So, let's look on to what Jesus said to His disciples after the young rich man parted:

Matthew 19:23-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

You'll notice that Jesus only said it was impossible for men, but with God all things are possible. The problem with the young rich man was not his wealth but his heart condition before God. He wanted the gift more than he wanted the giver of the gift. When Jesus put his loyalties to the test, the true condition of his heart was exposed. There is nothing inherently bad about money, but there is something inherently bad about putting it before God. That is the sin of idolatry, and that is what Jesus is condemning, not money itself. Take Joseph of Arimethea for example:

Matthew 27:57-60 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.

Joseph was a disciple of Jesus yet He did not require Joseph to sell all of his possessions. Indeed, if he had Joseph would not have been able to provide the tomb that Jesus was buried in, ultimately fulfilling the prophecy about Jesus in Isaiah 53:9.

So, to conclude, what God is most concerned about is the heart. If your love for your possesions is what is keeping you from the Lord, He may ultimately require you to sacrifice them. I think is especially difficult for the rich man to realize his need for salvation because he is so self-sufficient. He believes he is in control of his life because his money insulates him from many of the cares of this world. He does not realize that his very breath rests in the hands of the Lord. He may not confess, as Job did, that his riches are all blessings from on High, and at the disposal of the Almighty to do with them what He may.

Job 1:21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

Also, the thumbnail sort of spoils the joke.

In the seals' defense, that tent was probably warmer to lie on than the wet mud/ice of the beach. Ground mats, sleeping bags and all.

The aftermath is grandma's histrionics over the kid's rolling off the mat, and him growing-up to be a spoiled brat who thinks the world owes him all.
