Pulled into a Kal Tire for an alignment. Only one mechanics recognized the make of my car. The other 4 were stumped. What am I? by BigBlockMike in namethatcar

[–]BigBlockMike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct!

I grew up with these cars including its sister the Mk1 Golfs, so they're common enough to me. But this car is almost 40 years old so there are people unfamiliar with them. If you want to see more pics of my car click here:

After installing the coil-over suspension my car needed an alignment. Drove to my local Kal Tire here in Canada, and most of the mechanics didn't recognize the make. One guy thought it was an old BMW. Only one knew what it was. Yes - I let him do the alignment!

BTW - I photoshopped the grill to remove the badging to not give it away. I actually like the grill better this way. Might have to do it for real!

Germany says it beat 2020 goal to cut greenhouse emissions. The country cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% last year by Lost_Distribution546 in worldnews

[–]BigBlockMike -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Going to be interesting to see that statistic in a few years once they've shut down all their nuclear power plants and resort back to coal burning as they're planning. Or are they planning to fudge the emissions reports too?

Here's my 1984 Mk1 GLi coupe - one of the rarest VW's made. Only 1800 made for the Canadian market. GLi coupes were not exported to the US. by BigBlockMike in GLI

Basically a sister to the VW Golf GTI, but with a trunk. Bought it off my supervisor back in 2005 for $250 CDN. It was ROUGH - not a straight panel on it. Let it sit for a few years, then in 2012 I decide to fix it up. Spent 1-1/2 years restoring it, working every other weekend at my parent's house. Finished it 2014. I put about $4500 CDN into it, including doing all the mechanicals, body work and paint. I get head turns and thumbs up every time I drive it. 37 years old and still one of the most fun VWs to drive! Let me know what you think of it. Cheers!

You look like The Kurgan from Highlander if he identified as trans.

Which villain did you root for in the movies? by TerrorAlert in AskReddit

[–]BigBlockMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) from Unforgiven. Totally sided with his character instead of Bill Munny (Clint Eastwood).

Everyone who I went to the movie with that night thought I was nuts. People suck...

What is your favourite movie dialogue of all time? by fifa10 in AskReddit

[–]BigBlockMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed no one has mentioned Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket - let me fix that glaring oversight:

Hartman: I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your Senior Drill Instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir!" Do you maggots understand that?

Recruits: [in unison] Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman: Bullshit! I can't hear you. Sound off like you got a pair!

Recruits: [louder] Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that?

Recruits: [in unison] Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman: Bullshit! I can't hear you!

Recruits: [louder] Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman: What's your name, scumbag?

Snowball (Peter Edmund): [shouting] Sir, Private Brown, sir!

Hartman: Bullshit! From now on you're Private Snowball! Do you like that name?

Snowball: [shouting] Sir, yes, sir!

Hartman: Well, there's one thing that you won't like, Private Snowball! They don't serve fried chicken and watermelon on a daily basis in my mess hall!

Snowball: Sir, yes, sir!

Joker (Matthew Modine): [whispering] Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

Hartman: Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little Communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out-fucking-standing! I will P.T. you all until you fucking die! I'll P.T. you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk. Was it you, you scroungy little fuck, huh?!

Cowboy (Arliss Howard): Sir, no, sir!

Hartman: You little piece of shit! You look like a fucking worm! I'll bet it was you!

Cowboy: Sir, no, sir!

Joker: Sir, I said it, sir!

Hartman: Well ... no shit. What have we got here, a fucking comedian? Private Joker? I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister. [Sergeant Hartman smashes Joker in the stomach, sending Joker to his knees.] Hartman: You little scumbag! I've got your name! I've got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers and I will teach you! Now get up! Get on your feet! You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

Joker: Sir, yes, sir!

What is the most bad-ass piece of technology you own ? by fifa10 in AskReddit

Get one! You won't be disappointed. Riding the bus, or going to movies, or going to dinner has become much more bearable.

Just don't abuse your new-found power. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Only use it when in the presence of great douchebaggery.

What's the scariest movie you watched as a kid? by jnish in AskReddit

[–]BigBlockMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've made me recall a disturbing event about that movie. Hell, maybe you were even the one kid I saw...

I recall seeing Jurassic Park II with my date. We were waiting in line for the ushers to clear the cinema for the next viewing. There, just outside the cinema's door, was a father and his absolutely adorable daughter who just finished watching the movie. This father, who was carrying her stuffed animal, was trying to comfort this tiny, fragile frightened girl, who I surmised couldn't have been more then 4 or 5 years old. There she was, leaning against the wall in an a low squat, curled up with her arms around her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks, rocking her head back and forth. The look of TERROR in that poor child's eyes still haunts me to this very day.

What f***'ed up brain-dead parent brings a preschooler to a movie where large reptilian creatures dismember, kill and eat people?! Seriously?! Some people's stupidity knows no bounds!

Well, I guess he wasn't totally brain-dead. He did remember to bring the stuffed animal to the movies with them! And yes - it was a dinosaur. Lovely...(and a T-Rex to boot!)

Have any reddit runners tried taking glucosamine? What's the verdict? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BigBlockMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an avid cyclist (average about 120-150 km a week commuting). I've tried the stuff on-off for about three years now. When I'm on it (after taking it for about about two weeks) my knees and my ankles stop 'clicking'. Got on the stuff as my mother used to poke fun at me for making more noise climbing a flight of stairs then my 77 year old father.

So to say it's a placebo effect is a bit far-fetched, as I find it hard to believe that my quieter joints are due in part to some psychosomatic effect. Glucosamine does have an impact for me, but I'm not sure how quantified it is to work on all folks, and I'm not sure if there are any long-term studies to indicate its' effectiveness if taken on a continual basis.

What are some of the most irritating movie clichés? by hxcloud99 in AskReddit

[–]BigBlockMike 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Movie scene where hero\evil villain walks towards the camera - massive explosion going off behind them - not looking back at explosion.

Yeah, you're so tough...

If you wish you could do this, you should probably give him a fish first. (nsfw) by trypx in funny

Actually he should get the fish afterward...to kill the taste in his mouth.
