T.A.R.D.

So I keep seeing these little mini-vans running around town with the acronym "BARC" on them. Curiosity got the better of me, never a good idea here, so I googled it.

Stands for "Bakersfield Association of Retarded Citizens".

Really? Well they're going to need much bigger buses, and a lot of 'em. But it turns out it's only for the mentally handicapped, not the entire population, as would have been my first thought.

Good to know "retarded" is still acceptable here. I think I'm going to be using it a lot.
