Beer Drinkin', Racin' 'n Football

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Well they did it TLD and they are hooking up with FIAT, the goobermint sez it's a good thing. I'm not sure, the only FIATs I ever dealt with were a pain to keep running, it will be interesting to see what happens, FIAT will own 20% of Chrysler, that our tax money to the tune of another 8 billion will buy us 8%.  BO sez that they have to pay back the taxpayer before FIAT can buy anymore of a share in Chrysler.

Fiat= Fix It Again Tomorrow.  Who'd ever a thought it'd come ta this?

I had a Fiat 124 hit my welding truck head-on on Hwy 54 in the Oklahoma Panhandle when I still lived there. The driver suffered a broken hip and serious injuries. His female passenger was killed when the hood came loose and came back through the windshield. I think about that anytime I see a green 124. I an't had much use for them.

[Leo Tanner]

That's terrible Tex.  They always said green was an unlucky color, or BRG at least.

[Texas Lawdog]

That happened 40 years ago, it seems like yesterday.

[Arcey]

Damn.......

Really don't wanna whine.

Sit ta watch NNW series qualifyin'. First out is the 27. I know in this economy sponsors are hard ta come by but damn. The car has Cottonelle  on the hood, Huggies on the TV panel. That's bad 'nuff. But the thing has Kotex on the quarters.

Long for the days of Purolator, Busch beer 'n STP.

Kotex...... That's just sick.......

[Leo Tanner]

Keep an eye out fer Masengil er Summer Eve in the near future.

Arcey, Do you remember several years ago, A female driver in the Busch series whose car was sponsored by Ramses.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Ken hear the announcer now, And as they come around into turn 4 the number 27 Kotex car seems to be stuck in a tight spot. 

[Texas Lawdog]

That's a good one LIT!

[Leo Tanner]

Irish is certainly a clever one!

I watched the race last night and noticed the car that Arcey was talking about. The lettering was prominent on the side of the car.

[Arcey]

The Cowboy's practice facility. Whew. From the looks of things that could have been awful bad.   

This Redskin fan is grateful it wasn't any werse. For those injured, a prayer for speedy 'n complete recoveries. No ill wishes here. It's only a game.

It looked pretty scary.

I usually don't watch auto racing. But yesterday before the Derby, I watched some of the race. I noticed periodically that there was flame coming from underneath on the right side in front of the rear tire of some of the cars. It usually happened on the corners. My assumption is that is the tail pipe and when they shift down the flame comes out. Is that what it is?

Raw fuel in the header pipes.

Arcey, We had 60 mph winds come through about 3:15 pm, we live about 10 miles south of Cowboy Ranch. The special teams coach possibly has a broken back. He seems to be most seriously injured.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Just saw a bite on my home page that the coach is paralyzed

[Texas Lawdog]

I got some news this morning about the condition of the Special Teams coach. He has a broken vertabrae in his back.  A scouting assistant is paralyzed from the waist down. The Special Teams coach doesn't seem to have paralysis.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I'll be praying.

[Arcey]

That's sad.

Looked it the video of the place this mornin' on the Dallas Mornin' News site. It's a wunner no one was killed.
