These things have "FAIL" written all over them.  I see grinding two car crashes in the future for the popos that use the grapplers.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Does it look more dangerous than a PIT maneuver though? Only issue I see is how close they have to get to deploy it.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I've never much cared for the PIT maneuver, actually. Cops often apply it when there's a lot of other traffic around to get tangled up in it.

It looks like Leonard is developing it, not the police.

Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

This made me laugh way too damn hard.

On some of the roads I've been on they have these things called bumps.  Looks like if the cop car hit one, the prongs of the fork would dig in and launch said car at a pretty steep angle.
