Your Chance To Spend The Night With Caroline, Jack And Bark

your chance to spend the night with caroline jack and bark

Last year, my pals at Third Rock Events threw a brilliant rooftop party in Charlotte, NC for about five hundred of their closest friends. Even constant rain didn’t stop the show. I’m still trying to figure out how I went back to the hotel alone from that one; the women were all gorgeous and highly inebriated. Oh yeah, I remember now: because Bark made me stick around to help clean up.

Good news: the party’s on again this year. $40 for unlimited food, beer and vodka. Our own Caroline Ellis will be working as a hospitality girl. So, you know, be hospitable to her. This time it’s at Charlotte Trolley on August 9th, from 7PM to 1AM. Follow 3rd Rock on Facebook for more details. As soon as the party’s over, Bark and I will be heading to VIR to take part in an actual Guinness World Records attempt. Come hang out with us and meet some of Charlotte’s most exciting people!

How did all this happen? Somebody just called one woman "tall". I've met tall women before. This never happens, though!

  Some idiot decided to allude the tall lady was a transsexual (like someone being trans is a bad thing). That and using the slur "Tranny". It went down hill from there. :/

  @April It wasn't all down hill, April, Good for you not letting the slurs slide and trying to educate naive normcores like myself. TTAC is a better place with you contributing to it.

  @April Idiot? I think you owe someone an apology for your name-calling. Why such hatred and insults?

  @slow kills If it's true no apology is necessary, sympathy perhaps

  @ slow kills. My mistake. Would uncaring hater be more accurate?

  I think this thread is going downhill again. It's an article where I can go thousands of miles out of my way to have fun, and meet women. Some of these women, apparently, are tall. Big deal. (See what I did there? Good pun if I do say so...)

  @April Stop unleashing your self-hatred on others. It shows.

You are more likely to receive an apology when people like you meet the following criteria: - you are regularly insulted for living your life as you see fit, when you do nothing to bother others - you face discrimination in the work environment on a regular basis - you frequently are subject to degradation and threats of violence, just for being who you are - people just like you are beaten and even killed without cause - churches teach congregants to hate you - posters on a website focused on cars populate the message board with slurs, insults and threats of incarceration, and then act entitled and whine for an apology

  I was offering some people an out before two week vacations start occurring for the uncivil side. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/terms-of-service/ Taking hints seems not to be their strong point.

  @slow kills Again, it would be nice if their was some moderation but to me it is scary to know there is so much hatred and misogyny bubbling under the surface. Some people like to throw the PC word around just because they do not feel they need to respect others that are different than themselves. As if treating others like we wish to be treated is a horrible thing. P.S. Just because some folks here do not recognize transphobic comments as insulting, they are just as offensive as if bigots were spouting racial slurs.

You're refueling while you're sleeping.My condo association is allowing owners to install chargers. You have to pay all of the owners of the parking spaces the new electric service will cross. Suggested fee is 100$ and the one getting a charger pays all the legal and filing fees. I held out for a bottle of 30 year old single malt.Perhaps high end apartments will feature reserved parking spaces with chargers in the future. Until then non home owners are relying on public charge and one of my neighbors is in IT and he charges at work. It's call a perk.I don't see company owned delivery vehicles that are EV's. The USPS and the smiley boxes should be the 1st to do this.

I can respect and appreciate what you drive but if I was pushed to answer, no I really don't care what you drive. Before everyone goes into umbrage over my last sentence, I still like cars.

EBFlex The way things look in the next 5-10 years no. There are no breakthroughs in battery technology coming, the charging infrastructure is essentially nonexistent, and the price of entry is still way too high.As soon as an EV can meet the bar set by ICE in range, refueling times, and price it will take off.
