\*\*A vengeful nutjob with a gun is coming for you RIGHT NOW.  
Which truck should I buy? \*\*

_Consumer Reports_ gave the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tundra five stars in the “Most Bullet-Resistant Engine Block” category. (Remember, though–automobile _doors_ really don’t do much to stop bullets.)

\*\* Shopping for a car stereo  
Do you follow the rules? \*\*

Naw, man. I, like, go to the deli section at the grocery store and ask if they have any car stereos. 'Cause I’m like a _rebel_, you know?

No, this is illegal. You will be docked 1,000 Sequential Thread points and lose preferred seating on the Doper Ark.

I have occasionaly used off-site sequential news headlines and even sequential programs on my satellite TV lineup.
