So, my question is how do you hit something hard enough to do that much damage and not set off the airbags?

Very carefully.

UGH! That is UGLY. Too bad -

However, Bubba says it will just "pound out".

look at it again. all the damage is all directly above the crash bar. there was nothing to stop the impact until the other cars bumper hit the front core support/radiator. until then, it was hood sheet metal, plastic bumper, and plastic headlights. and all that has the crash resistance of marshmellos.

so it doesn't shock me that the airbags didn't go off.

but can't call it a curse when you're the one performing the action. curses are unlikely constantly-negative events. like my life. more 'final destination', not so much people not paying attention and attempting to drive their car through another car...

It's the curse of bad parenting

Careful. Fortunately my guys turned out to be decent adults. I have a friend who has 4 adult "children". 3 are great people, 1 is a complete wack job.

It's like baking a cake, you can do everything right but it don't turn out right.

Baking a cake is nothing more than applied chemistry. Process is key. I've never seen a bad Twinkie. I've seen plenty of bad parents, so my logic is sound.

Well, had a CT scan today. Found out I have diverticulitis. Sweet! 3 incurable conditions wasn't quite enough.

I was supposed to go to San Jose tomorrow, but have to wait a couple days now. Been a great couple months.

Have you tried a Twinkie since hostess went out of business and
Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos and Company took it over and brought them back?

I stubbed my toe on the coffee table earlier today. Man, that shit hurt. FML

I know this one couple, fine people. Son is serving a 27 year sentence, the daughter is a district attorney. You can only guide them so much.

I've been fortunate too so far with my 4 kids.
