Have discovered the wealth of Top Gear clips online and promptly wasted entirely too much time alternately drooling (over the cars) and laughing (over the guys.)


An acclaimed broadcaster and journalist, Jeremy Clarkson has hosted “Top Gear” since 1988. Born in the decade of the hippie, Jeremy has shunned free love and peace, preferring instead to drive around corners very fast, yelling “POWER” at the top of his lungs.
 

Well, yes.

Yesterday I spent my entire lunch hour watching a car chase on Fox News.

*facepalm*

Talk about a wasted hour. Some idiot in a white minivan in California, followed (very slowly) by five police cars. And I was utterly facinated even though it was 60 minutes of ariel footage of this van going...and going...and going...and commentators saying things like,

"Well, Bob, the suspect may be armed or he may not be, we just don't know."

"This chase has been going on at 70 miles an hour....and 45 miles an hour...and 20 miles and hour...and sometimes 0."

And, the best of all:

"What do you think is going on in the suspect's mind?"

Dude. Who cares? And yet I watched in case someething exciting might happen--especially after they put it on a ten second delay so that if he killed himself it wouldn't be on live television.

Oh yay.

Edit: I finally found out how it ended. From foxnews.com:

A man suspected of attempted kidnapping was captured Tuesday after a freeway chase and standoff that ended when sheriff's deputies tossed a grenade into his van and a police dog dragged him from the smoke-filled vehicle.

Man. Why couldn't that have happened while I was watching?
