Aw, man! "Top Gear" is on Discovery
It's not my little secret anymore! Even though it has been sliced to ribbons, I recommend it for gearheads who aren't already torrenting it.

3. Top Gear
Not with that grade-A cockmuncher Jeremy Clarkson?

4. While I cannot speak to his oral habits
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 01:08 AM by Book Lover
Yes, it's the show with the opinionated Mr Clarkson.

And exactly what is wrong with fellatio? :-)

5. Location?

I take it you're a Yank ... in which case you would be spared Clarkson's idiotic right-wing ranting in the Sunday TImes then?

God, I would love to beat that man senseless and then drag him behind one of the cars he adores for hours. The wanker. On edit - I forgot he had a column in The Sun too. Murdoch whore.

BTW - cockmuncher is a term from a Brit comedy "Peep Show".I have to stop using it. I accidently called my landlod a cockmuncher the other day. Not good.

7. More than a Yank - a New Yorker
No, I haven't been exposed to anything more than his writing on the TG website, which is pretty lame, I agree. He reminds me of Brock Yates from Car and Driver (who is a huge asshole). But car shows here in the US are so weak, TG stands tall against them.

Now I have to dig through the Times' archives to see what you're talking about...

8. Clarkson
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 01:34 AM by SweetLeftFoot
He deliberately goads environmentalists and lefties.He actually drove onto protected land in a Land Rover for his show to demonstrate how much damage he could do with it.

My suspicion is that he has a dick like a half-sucked Tic Tac.

9. Yeah, I've noticed
We lefties who like driving fast have an obligation (at least I feel this way) to do as little damage as possible and to pay back in some way for what we take; I can tell Clarkson doesn't share the sentiment. (I saw the show you're talking about, too. Obviously I don't know the area as well as most, but I was pretty unhappy with it.)

But don't ruin my dreams about James May! He's the cutest one, and sounds like the most sensible one too.

15. The saga of that truck
was a lot of fun :-) US shows just so don't do that kind of thing.

13. I think the closest I could get to like
is appreciating his frankness. Gotta say, he says what he thinks, right?
