Looks like a great deal!
I guess he wasn't too hard to trail: "A Florida man was arrested after he reportedly stole several laxative pills from a person’s house, believing them to be opioids."
(H/T: Tastefully Offensive).
Paul Joseph Watson's got your modern art fix, right here!
Where was this when I was 16 years old?
No 16 year old would have ever wanted the skull thing. That's strictly a 58 year old thing. 58 year olds are the ones doing chicken races now, 16 year olds are doing drugs.
ReplyDeleteBTW, my guess is circa '81 El Camino.
ReplyDeleteI definitely would have wanted one; call me old before my time. Would have looked ridiculous on my Superbird, though.
ReplyDeleteModern Art is indeed s**t. Nearly all "artists" these day would starve if it weren't for government subsidies and patrons with more money than sense.
ReplyDeleteJeff: We need to find us an angle so we can cash in. Shouldn't be that hard...
ReplyDeleteAt first glance the bacon poem looked to me like a haiku. But poetess Mrs Skeeter tells me that, while it is a very good poem, it does not quite follow the haiku rules.
ReplyDeleteTo qualify it needs five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five in the third.
Here is a good example of this classic form to help wannabe haiku writers:
haiku are easy
they sometimes don't make much sense
refrigerator
It reminded me of a haiku too. Then I found a whole page of them:

The fact that it mentions bacon makes up for its imperfections as a haiku. Now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI looked at that poem and thought of haikus but knew it wasn't. The skull thing on the car hood would make me laugh every time it opened its mouth, and seeing that made me think back to college for some reason (although where I came from, most outre hood ornaments consisted of steer horns). And yes, modern art is sh**, but you have to take into consideration who those people are who call themselves "artists".
ReplyDeleteWould have looked ridiculous on my Superbird, though.
ReplyDeleteWait, what?! You had a Superbird? I won't believe it without at least one picture, and an explanation of when, where, and why you had it, and why you don't still have it!
I had two, a blue one and a lime-green one. They weren't the highly desirable 426 HEMIs - each one had the 440 Super Commando - but they were plenty fast. Wrecked the blue one after less than 12 months, and it took six months to fix. I sold it before I went off to college. I sold the green one in order to buy my intended an engagement ring (yes, from a purely economic point of view, it would have been far more financially rewarding to have held on to the car, but, there it is). I'll see if I can find some old photos.
ReplyDeleteYeah, no one ever needs glasses to achieve 20/20 hindsight. I hope you wrecked the first one doing something exciting, like going around Daytona or Talladega at 150mph, and not on that little curve at the end of the road in front of your house.
ReplyDeleteWhat model years were they?

ReplyDeleteDude, what are you, freakin' psychic?!? As a matter of fact, I did wreck it going around a sharp curve on a little two-lane road - in a heavy rainstorm, mind you - a couple of miles from my house. Held to far to the right to make sure to avoid oncoming traffic, and the front right wheel went onto the muddy shoulder and kind of flipped the car around, so that I wound up shooting into some (thankfully) not very big trees. Checking out the damage, I recall being profoundly disappointed that I had come out of the accident alive.
Well, I suppose driving a Superbird into a tight curve in a heavy rainstorm would be a lot like having Dale Earnhardt riding your bumper at Talladega. Easy to make the wrong move, and end up sliding into the wall...or trees, as the case may be. Were you wishing you'd died because you could see the headline in the next day's paper: "Young local man attempts the impossible, wrecks Superbird trying to go around tight curve in the rain"? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I knew because that's what I could imagine myself doing. With, or without the rain.
Oh, definitely. Who could face people ever again if that news got out? Fortunately, the media were not alerted.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just seeing the thing banged up so bad made me sick.
I like the dachshund gunfighter.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with dachshunds!
