      They really should have gone that last extra mile and painted flames on it and called it the General Sherman.

        That just doesn’t look as cool for some reason. I guess because the crush orange is a pretty great color for a car, and also because the American flag isn’t symmetrical enough.

          Maybe go with a Ford muscle car with the Ford blue. Can’t help on the asymmetrical flag, though.

      What’s the name of the car?

      Edit: Nevermind. Looked at the picture again and I’m guessing it’s called General Lee.

      True, and yet, at the same time: The show’s main antagonist was named Jefferson Davis Hogg. There’s no way the choice of a Confederate General for the car (the show’s non-human protagonist) and the Confederate President for the antagonist was an accident, I just have no idea what they were trying to say there.

            Fucken great slang for us honestly. I’m not even mad with the sewage we spew all over the world.

            Are we “seppos” because we are septic tanks, or are we supposedly inclined to have septic tanks?

            Because I’ll lightly disagree with one of those, only because most people I’ve met and places I’ve lived have used public sewage systems.

            Edit: nevermind, read further on the definition page. It’s a rhyming thing (kind of?) and we’re full of shit. I’m on board with that.
