What, no smile?
Must be that time of month
Commenting on Danica Patrick’s rumored look at moving to NASCAR racing, fellow IRL driver Ed Carpenter said:
I think Danica’s pretty aggressive in our cars. I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there. But I think she’ll hold her own.
It’s kind of a weird compliment. On one hand, he thinks she can keep up with the big boys of NASCAR. On the other hand, he goes and points out that she might be angrier during that time of month. Well, sure, if we’re going to go on stereotypes, shouldn’t she also be barefoot and pregnant? But then again, Britney Spears already has the market cornered on barefoot, pregnant and fast driving.

Are you trying to say that women — aren’t angrier during that time of the month? If you are, then you are a liar and a pussy. If not, I apologize.
I’m not saying they’re not agrier — it’s just poor form for Carpenter to talk about it. Like NASCAR fans are more inbred than other sports fans but you don’t see me going around saying it.
