Pieces of SotD, yeah. Plenty of fun. Next time I'll actually try to see it from the beginning instead of surfing into it halfway through.

Chileheads say things like "If it burns going in and burns coming out, it was good!" Others make the bath echo with shouts of "Come on, ice creammmm!!!"

US patrol cars run to large sedans for their combination of stability at speed and luggage capacity to haul police gear around, including more batteries to run the lights off of when the engine is off. The latest new feature is LED light bars, very compact and low drag. Might pay for themselves in fuel consumption. I don't know if World's Wildest Police Videos plays in the UK, but it shows a lot of US police cruisers when they aren't showing a foreign segment. The famous shot with the road engineer giving an interview about safety improvements on a dual carriageway that hadn't previously been up to snuff -- and right in the middle of his remarks, a light-blue hatchback climbs the bank behind him and gets all crosswise -- that one gets regular play, I think because we like his "stiff upper lip under pressure" glance at the end of the segment.

Wrenching the topic back to food, it is now true US policemen are eating more bagels and fewer doughnuts. Quite in the police tradition -- round food, hole in the middle. Less fat and sugar.
