He sounds like Roy Orbison.

That bike looks really unsafe for both its operator and others. Plus its such an obvious attempt to garner attention. Ban please.

The Eater ice cream list is lame. We could use a good guide in the E Vill alone. For example, I love Mikey's on A and hope Mikey's success continues. But honestly, the flavors don't deliver. Someone take this shizzle seriously and make a better ranking! Ice Cream Is Important. (not gelato etc.)
