Apples are full of sugar, there’s nothing keto about them. Also Jordan Peterson is a right wing lunatic, not a “Canadian Thinker”, knowing Jason is a fan is one of the more distressing facts about y’all I’ve learned in the past few years.
Pretty sure “big fan” and “thinker” were the joke aspects of that particular sentence.
hopefully, sounds a bit beyond my level of wit then
I didn’t realize the article was written by an Andrea Peterson, I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt there that there’s more to that statement than just, he’s a fan.
If anything I would assume Jason hates JP based on that conversation.
apples = carbs. Not keto, despite the steak.
I Tortured Myself With David Tracy’s Shower Spaghetti Based Diet To See If It Actually Works
“I Tortured Myself With David Tracy’s Shower Spaghetti Based Diet And Now I Have Plumbing Issues“
Ha ha! That would probably be “leftover” shower spaghetti…I wonder if that was served at his wedding?!
Wait a minute. Jason is a fan of Jordan Peterson? The infamous right-wing Canadian conspiracy theorist? This disturbs me and I may have to cancel my subscription if true. Why would anyone trust or believe anything this man says after everything he has said has been debunked? Seriously, Jason? I’ve read you for years. Is there another Jordan Peterson?
Just FYI, it was a joke.
Still trying to figure out my membership and lack of access to these paywalled “articles”. Sent another email to Matt. I just want to be a cool kid.
Hey Ben! I keep responding to your emails but you don’t respond. Can you make sure it’s not going into spam?
Spam no more!! Thanks again, Matt. Happy to be on the cool kid side. Fun to see some of the inner workings.
If I was to guess he is running a cookie blocker and this site loves cookies and pays money so they can play third party games. Or I could be completely wrong. (-=
me? Running software in my browser to stop other certain software from running?? nooooooo. I would never….
At least he’s consistent, he didn’t respond to you here either!
Abarth is more imbedded in memory from my childhood.
My father had a 1958 356a Porsche (29 PMY for historians) I remember going to Frazer-Nash, I was young 1962 I figure, to pick up an Abarth exhaust, four chrome pipes on a common silencer, complete with the scorpion decal.
Here’s to an implanted memory, the name should, I figure should be as recognizable as Colin Chapman, at least to most European enthusiasts. Italianism not required.
I’m going to have a black pepper and mayonnaise sandwich.
A couple of years ago I found out it was also a favorite of somebody quite famous. Probably one of few things we have in common.
Went to find this sammich and TIL the Sandwiches of History guy did it, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVkPjLtraEY
I like mayo, but I think I prefer spicy peppers to black peppers. Maybe paprika? Mmmmm…paprika.
Alternately, I am the kind of sicko who’d eat mayo straight from the jar.
I just had a crunchy peanut butter and ghost pepper sauce on a Costco triangle bun for breakfast, so I appreciate other pepper types, but for me it’s the aromatic nature of the freshly ground black pepper with mayonnaise the way it clicks together.
Did I mention the black pepper is heavy on the mayo, like bands of dark cloud. I’ve gone back to a hand grinder, as the battery powered was a source of range anxiety.
Is there an automotive legend with a cheese and beer diet? I would like to try that one. Please advise.
You can be the first! ♥
You mean any average day in Wisconsin?
(you say this like it isn’t an average day at home, too)
Right? That was my thought too – check the diets of the entire AMC executive team and I bet you’ll score.
The average diet around the Morgan factory in Herefordshire probably involves a lot of cheese and cider*, might be worth a try?
*(as in; the stuff with alcohol in)
I think it’s pretty funny that the guy who asked “who is Carlo Abarth?” Is the same guy who worked for Chrysler/FCA/whatever when they were building and selling the Fiat 500 Abarth and Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. I realize that he probably didn’t have a TV then, and therefore didn’t see the various 500 Abarth commercials and such, but…Catrinel Menghia is really something!
As someone who also worked there at that time, you couldn’t escape those commercials, they were played on all the in-house screens throughout the Tech Center and IT Building.
Apropos of nothing, and I haven;t been there in like 4 years now, but the Chrysler Tech Center as late as 2020 had a couple dozen old CRT TVs just tucked into the walls all over the place, as the old video system. I asked someone about them who had ties to facilities, and they were too heavy and big to easily remove, and there was nowhere to put them; so they just decided to leave them littered around the pace to catch dust.
You guys nailed the Abarth Apple diet just right to get met to click it, btw. I didn’t know Abarth’s first name, and Apple-and-Steak would have given me enough info to pass on clicking.
Ok so I’m kind of a layperson when it comes to Abarth as I only know it as a trim level for the Fiat 500s, but I’ve at least heard the name/trim level. A regular non-car person probably never heard of it so get that point. But I love how the discussion of the title has almost more word count than the article.
Some Genius Tortured Herself With Italy’s Weirdest Diet (and Also Car)!
This is probably the only time I’ve ever been called a genius
Lol, no
I admit, I thought specifically of you when I said that. 🙂 One of the hard parts about writing headlines is that, in general, we try to write headlines for a broad audience even if our content is decidedly nerdy.
Hope Carlo doesn’t mind I’m borrowing from him 🙂
I think that approach makes sense. We could probably think of car nerds as being a subset of nerds in general, but there is going to be overlap among the groups. If article A focuses on a certain demographic, in a few minutes article B will be posted and will focus on one or more completely different demos.
David keeps using the term “layperson” as if the site isn’t aimed squarely at car nerds.
I wonder if he means “lair-person?” There’s got to be more than a few of us with evil lairs.
My lair isn’t quite to evil yet…it’s still discovering itself.
Are you summoning SWG here? He specifically has one I think.
he better
My interior design choices are pretty lair-ish
It’s kinda surreal to see how much my headline was debated while I sit here eating my leftover lunch of definitely not apples and pressed beef lunch meat. I also had to take a second to remember that not everyone knows Carlo Abarth as just a regular ol household name as common as say, Enzo Ferrari or Henry Ford. Apparently my house is weird…
LOL!
Yes, but that’s what we come here for!
I imagine that’s the case for most Autopian households. 🙂 The names “Nicolas Hayek,” “Erik Buell,” and “Clyde Cessna” have been spoken in my apartment far more than the average home.
I live in fear of the day my kid uses “Gandini” or something among normal children and rapidly discovers that nobody knows who she’s talking about
Enzo who?
The baker from The Godfather. Stood outside the hospital with Mike and pretended he had a gun to protect Vito after McClusky sent all of Don Corleone’s bodyguards away.
I never realised that there was a Mr Abarth before, but in retrospect I should have guessed it was a company named after a surname.
I am surprised that there was debate over readers recognising the name Abarth though, I’d have assumed they were at least as well known as eg Alpina or Zagato.
