I think that might've been a shout-out to Mork and Mindy; Robin Williams's character says that in the title sequence, after banging his head on the side of his spaceship.
These days, I hear the line "it's just people driving in circles" from F1 fans dumping on NASCAR, more than anything else.
But like, any sport sounds boring when you just break it down like that. Baseball, basketball, either kind of football, they're all about a bunch of dudes just moving a ball around.
It's far beyond the posted speed limit anywhere in America, which is where this cop was riding his bike.
Highest posted speed limit in this country is 85mph, on a small stretch of toll road in Texas. Which converts to a "mere" 137kph. We don't have un-restricted highways here.
I enjoy the show, it's a good comfort-watch. Being an avid Mythbusters fan too, though, sometimes it's hard for me to look past all the stuff that they've proven to not be possible. But I chalk it up to artistic license and have a good time anyway.
Project Zomboid and The Long Walk. I feel like the crossover would be pretty seamless. The contest could be played, the movie could be re-enacted on a multiplayer server, with a couple of mods that already exist currently.
Whenever my grandmother talks about United Parcel Service, she always says "ups", one syllable, instead of U-P-S like most people do.
Lately though, whenever she gets a package that arrives damaged, she calls them "Oops".
Whenever I'd encounter 18-wheelers out on the road, everyone has the usual jokes about Swift. Sure Wish I'd Finished Training, Stevie Wonder's Institute For Trucking, etc. but there's jokes for every large trucking company.

U.S. Express becomes Useless Express in my head. The list goes on.
Humans were telling stories to each other orally, way before they'd ever started writing those stories down. If you ask me, audiobooks are just an extension of that history. That doesn't mean I think audiobooks are a superior format for reading, but it's not an inferior one either.
As far as audiobooks go, this isn't really much of a thing anymore, but the only important caveat I'd make is abridged books versus the whole thing. If you want to read a story, read the whole damn story. But that's just equivalent to skimming through or looking up cliff notes for a hard copy.
I generally don't mind them, it's just Among Us's style that irks me. I actually kinda like them in board game form; Battlestar Galactica's board game, arguably having the same core premise and a similar setting, is actually one of my all-time favorites. Sticking with video games, Push the Button from the Jackbox series is alright as well.
Maybe the format works better when players aren't forced to scatter and stay quiet.
My friends kept suggesting it for game nights, but the social demands are just not compatible with actually hanging out with your friends.
When everyone's out and about, doing their tasks and getting murdered, we're all discouraged from actually talking with one another, for fear of revealing a dead body or whatever. Whenever there's a meeting going on, sure, we're "free" to talk again, but there's not enough time to talk about anything but the game. When you're dead, and thus finally relieved from the pressures of completing tasks or getting kills... there's still no chit-chat allowed, because ghosts "can't" talk.
It's worse whenever random players are involved; having to coordinate between voice chat with friends, and text chat with randoms, or worse, when the randoms are in a voice chat of their own, coordinating to be assholes.
The moment that finally made me say "I don't enjoy this game", was a round with two random players in it: one of them spent the whole round watching security cameras, and the other was blocking the one doorway into the room, both players working with each other and refusing to do their tasks. No way for the lone impostor that round to kill them both. When we started calling them out on this, they flat-out said "we're going to keep doing this just to spite you". Timer ran out with unfinished tasks. Crewmates lost.
Third-gen Camaro while we're at it. And the equivalent Firebird.
The missile knows where it is, at all times. It knows this, because it knows where it isn't.

I had a spell where I'd just make my own wine at home. Could make a couple gallons at a time for cheap, it'd just take a few weeks to be drinkable.
But now it's rare for me to drink too. So my excuse is all the wine I've made is "still aging". Perfect hobby for the lazy and forgetful.
I love the Belter creole cover used in The Expanse
Bellbottoms - The John Spencer Blues Explosion.
If not that, then pretty much any eurobeat song. I've got a special playlist.
I'd say it counts, those two in the Pinto definitely bought it when their car hit the ground from hundreds of feet in the air.

I work for my local post office, and one of my rural carriers drives one of these for his route. It has a supercharger. I'm so envious.
Did you ever use the word "perchance"?
I'd absolutely be on the list if I'd just post more often.
