MMMM… Fastback

MMMM… Fastback

I’ve actually driven an old Shelby Mustang back in the day. I worked at a body shop, and a Shelby had to be delivered, and I was a worthless scut  worker, so I was elected. I was only 16 or 17 at the time. It had a floor shift, of course, but I’d driven three on the tree, so a clutch held no terrors for me. It had one of those white and powder blue color schemes that screams Shelby Mustang.

I’ll tell you something. It was a full time job keeping that car from launching itself into orbit. Steering didn’t matter, because you can’t turn the wheel five degrees off straight ahead and hope to live. I just wanted to keep the car on the ground, and I couldn’t do it. It left rubber in every gear, every time. It literally hopped forward like a rabid leopard when you stepped on the accelerator. To this day, I have no idea how either the car or I survived the trip. But it was a gas.

Sober Foosball, Bigfoot, Nessie, and Other Unlikely Things

Sober Foosball, Bigfoot, Nessie, and Other Unlikely Things

Has anyone ever played foosball while sober? Just wondering. I know I never have, but you never know, maybe someone, somewhere has. Of course while I’m open to evidence that sober foosball is a thing, no one is ever going to convince me that sober Pac-Man was ever a thing. I know, I was there, in the arcade, with a roll of quarters. Well, at least I think I was. For some reason, a lot of it was a blur.

Catch a Tarp and You’re Sittin’ On Top of the World

Catch a Tarp and You’re Sittin’ On Top of the World

You know, truly gnarly tarp surfers wouldn’t be caught dead riding a curl on a Lowe’s tarp. Harbor Freight tarps are the shizzle. They seem to be giving away a free abrasive cut off saw or Chinesium manner drill with every purchase over $4, so they’re our go-to place for tools with flimsy safety guards on them.

Watch the whole video. They’re nice kids, and tarp surfing looks like a blast.
