Need some ideas how to get revenge on this guy.

Two nights ago coming down the mountain from skiing my bill and myself and two of my kids and two of his kids are in his van going 55 in the left lane on an icy road. All of a sudden a pick up and trailer going 75 pass on the right and veer straight into our lane, nearly side swiping us by inches. 

We follow the guy to his house. We know who he is, his business and his residence. 

He got out of his truck with a pistol in his hoodie front pocket, walked up to the driver side door and cocked the gun. I ripped into him about his horrible driving and he was defiant saying it was our fault for being in the fast lane.

I basically want to make this guys life miserable, any help is appreciate

Yeah, this was it.  You drive like ####.

Everytime I have to make this one left turn across two lanes of traffic near my house (it's 35mph) it's like this:. Two cars are about 400yds away, so I just calmly start the turn. Within miliseconds of seeing me start the turn, both cars are gunning it trying to see which one can t-bone me the hardest.  

This same thing happens when you have to merge onto the freeways around here. You'll be going the right speed to merge and then all of a sudden Mario fn andretti floors his Subaru hatchback just to #### block you at the last minute.  Can't wait till AI takes over

The merge from Walker Rd. onto 217 Southbound is the worst freeway merge design in the world.  The guy or gal who did it should be publicly flogged.  It's part of the reason why I gave up driving to the office.

The other reason:  you're afraid you'll make your car pregnant if you're in it that long.

Alrighty.... here's the design.

Online shop should be set up in next day or so. Trademark on the "phrase" is in progress.  Considering adding a "10" on  the right sleeve but may be a bit much. Will be printed on very nice bella+canvas triblend shirts (super soft/comfy). Price point slated for $30. 

Also have scarves underway early stages as well (also covered under trademark application). 

Thoughts?

yeah, either you go 90 mph and zip across two lanes trying to merge to go onto 26  or you almost have to come to a stop to pick a spot to squeeze in like frogger.    that's right by my office, i know it well.

Portland - the city that doesn't work

No, Walker going SOUTH on 217....you have about 20 feet to get onto 217 because the merger lane forces you to exit onto TV Hwy/Farmington exit.  To make it at 7am requires dumb luck or just sheer aggression.  The northbound entry from Walker isn't  much better, but it's not as bad.  It's a head-spinningly stupid road design.

I'd like to introduce you to our many cloverleaf exchanges here in the Twin Cities where the acceleration and deceleration lane is the same, and it's about 50 ft long. 

35W/494, 694/94 are the worst. 

 
So I was on a certain website, something to do with the 24th letter and a type of gerbil :bag: , and they had an offer for $100 Amazon Gift card

Had a weak moment and soon fell into survey hell. Finally stopped, but I have gotten 5 marketing calls in the past hour.

What an idiot

What's the correct condiment for a bacon-wrapped hot dog?

You're asking this group?  This should be enjoyable.....

(I predict the consensus is going to probably tell you frikkin' cantaloupe.)

ETA: The correct answer is either "mustard" or "nothing."

I figured this would be in their wheelhouse.   

Since I didn't get any timely answers and I was hungry, I went with sriracha mayonnaise.   When i was growing up in San Diego we used to get 3 bacon-wrapped hot dogs for $1 in Tijuana after a night of drinking.   They were delicious.   They topped them with some kind of white sauce that was sort of a mix between sour cream and mayonnaise, a little pico de gallo and hot sauce.   The sriracha mayonnaise kind of reminded me of that.

Maybe crème fraîche?  Think that's just sour cream and buttermilk....and is tasty as hell.  That would be wholly acceptable on the bacon-wrapped dog.

I've always thought mustard and bacon should never meet.

This is crazy talk.

Yeah not really. There's a big hit piece put out recently by a conservative think tank claiming that the pro-public transit Metropolitan Council was intentionally not investing in roads to force gridlock to force investments in bus and bike and light rail. 

Except... we are the 14th largest metro in the us and rank 17th worst for congestion. So there's the actual facts.
