OK, that’s kinda funny, but man I hate those trucks, when they stop at a light they leave a huge mound of salt on the road, and sometimes they shower your car with little pellets as they go by.

Life in the icy north. Whutyagonnado.

Go play.

Also, don’t salt the roads. There are better options that don’t turn huge swaths of the Midwest into salt marshes.

When the highway gets all icy,
You must salt it
When you slip and slide along,
You must salt it!
Salt it!
Salt it good!

A slave to his craft, he enjoyed some level of notoriety when he swooned all of Maduro while the people of Venezuela starved (still starve) in the streets. The picture’s a good one; it makes it look like the truck backed up on him Wile-E-Coyote-style.

Are those cool shades available in BoingBoing’s merchandise shop? And if not? Why not?
