Call or text AGAINST TERROR

This microfiber wipe that NJ Transit gave out. It’s like “see something, say something,” but more rad, and with a blood-stained font.

These fancy German pens.

The fact that Jag offered so many wheels on the X308 XJ8 that instead of printing the PSI recommendations inside the door–like everyone else–they had to print them on the underside of the center console.

90s-early 00s Jag keys. Shared with the Merkur and Transit vans. Fun fact: the locks are almost impossible to pick, but any key can lock any mechanism that uses the key.

Driving shoes. From left to right: Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s, Tod’s City Gommino loafers, Tod’s driving Gommino loafers, Bottega Veneta driving loafers, Ferragamo driving loafers.

The fact that there’s a special elastic band in the trunk of XJ8s for holding the manual.

Swiss Army knives. Clockwise from top: SwissCard, SwissTool, cheese knife, MiniChamp, Fireman with belt cutter, SwissChamp.

Opinel knives.

This Wiha screwdriver with 42 bits stored in the handle.

Bean boots.

This keychain from the 1920s.

This cheap Seiko automatic.

All of these things, as kids today say, spark joy.

I love my bean boots. They  were made by Linda.

Bean boots are funny, because back when Bean had the best no-question return/repair policy in the world, people still opted to pay to repair them, because they were still satisfied with them.

Every time I ever replaced something at LL Bean, I made a point to at least spend as much in store the same day.

There’s something aggressively European about writing PSI as lbf /in ˛

I’m torn on that microfiber cloth. I of course love the transit system map, but I hate the panicked terrorism overreaction.

Hahaha, that never occurred to me. Given that it’s Jag,  I’m a little disappointed they didn’t give maximum comfort as 1.856 stone/in ˛

That’s why I love it so much. It’s almost a pretty ode to infrastructure, but then it goes off of the rails and uses red font with blood spl atter.

Opinel knives are wonderful. I’ve got No. 8's scattered all throughout my home, workplace, and cars

BaconSandwich is tasty. > Honeybunchesofgoats 03/22/2019 at 22:13

If you call that number and report the condition of New Jersey roads (or it's drivers), does that count as terror?
