I’ve often said if that I were to ever win the lottery, I would own a Porshe. Yes, my entire plan is to win money from gambling. I have lofty goals.

With that said, the idea of owning a Porshe covered in gold leaf has never occurred to me. I guess those goals weren’t lofty enough.

I don’t know if I have the proper words to describe this car. It’s sort of weird looking to me and that poor person that lives inside my head is somewhat appalled, but then I have a moment of thinking that I could collectively blind everyone as I sped down the Interstate driving this puppy. I can also imagine that folks would follow me down the road asking for autographs and handouts.

You never know, it could happen.

Porshe has been around since 1931. I can imagine that back when founder Ferdinand Porsche was sitting around talking to his peeps that at least one of them said “Hey Ferdy! I have a great idea. Let’s cover the car in gold in 2008 because that would just be plum groovy and will totally freak people out!” And thus a nefarious plot of intrigue and glory was embarked upon only to boggle the minds of future generations although you would think they would have been talking about gold-plated spaceships that H.G. Wells predicted. I would have loved to be there for that conversation. Fly on the wall, I’m telling you.

It doesn’t appear that the gold Porshe is for consumer consumption, but, ahh, to dream.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
