    Road Rage

    So, now that it's 70mph on 95/295 in Maine, what's the safety range? 84? When it was 65, anything under 80 was ignored, since they really only want to the 3 pointers. Is there a new reality?

    Not For Nothing

    Do you say it? I can never figure out WTF people who use that term mean, even after reading the definitions. From Urban Dic: Why, I ask, does "Not For Nothing" mean "Don't take this the wrong way pal, but"? How do you get "I'm not say this for my health" out of "Not for Nothing"? NFN...
