Transcript:
potholes like the eskimos who supposedly have dozens of words to describe types of snow, drivers have developed a vocabulary for pothole varieties. here are a few. a "rimshot" is your common basic tire-chewing, wheel-misaligning pothole. somewhat worse is a "scrapmaker," which often causes spontaneous automotive disassemblage. person: well, blow the horn. the "pit of carkoon" type is home to a tentacled monster cap-able of devouring everything up to a ford bronce. in a "k street kanyon," erosion has revealed past geological ages down to the pre-cambrian, attracting paleontologists & tour groups.
