Probably Douglas Adam’s:

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes…”

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

Nope, because every damn VW dealership will mark it up to stupid levels. If they can’t make money suckering you in for maintenance, they are going to take it off the top. Hell, right now there suing because VAG is trying a different approach for Scout sales.

The NJ ripped (deep fried) ones are missing. Also the Carolina is misplaced. The slaw dog originated in WV.

I just wish they would keep some of their more offbeat flavors (Sweet Corn and Black Raspberry… 🤤) It was a little tastier when they were still sourcing milk from Snowville Creamery in Pomeroy, Ohio. I think that Jeni’s outgrew the production capacity or something similar… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Most all countries, as a whole, do much better in all parts of the educational system. The fun part is, if these chucklefucks get their way and seriously reduce or eliminate the department of education things are going to seriously roll right back to serfdom.
