The stuff coming out of my nose is infuriating

Stupid green snot! You’ve been coming out of my nose for three weeks! Go away! Nobody wants you! Argh! I’m sick of being sick! I’m sick of feeling 80% effective! Anger! Ahem. And a Good Friday to you too.

Turbonique

Thanks to Mr. Coop, I got to read about Turbonique, purveyors of the craziest technology ever to grace 1960s hot-rodding. Independently powered superchargers. Direct-drive 1000-hp auxiliary turbine motors for cars. Rocket-powered go-karts capable of sub-9-second quarter miles with 160+mph trap speeds. It makes me weep with joy just to know this stuff ever existed.
