Well, holy shit.

US Lawnmower Racing Association
I'm pretty sure the blades have been removed, at least I hope so because otherwise that would be quite stupid. Hey now, wait a minute...

Speaking of stupid there are 2 things I love to see in the news. First, any headline concerning Michael Jackson that declares "Jacko is Wacko!". I don't care about the story or the "guy"; that line cracks me up. Second, I love when they use the word 'payola' to refer to graft or bribery. It sounds delicious! Like a peanutty candybar.

This came to mind after reading a post by Kevin. I very much enjoy what he has to say.

I never knew about the lawnmower racing... sound like something I could get into.

lol, I've always known him as Wacko Jacko. He's living in Bahrain permanently now, I think, ugly, creepy kiddy-fiddler.

:D

if the racing is over lawn, then you wouldn't have to remove the blades, right?

Kevin said...

Thank you for the most gracious link, if only I had something substancial to say to back it up. As for pearl and durability, I have only anecdotal evidence, but my last drummer made kindling out of a set. He wound up swearing by Ludwigs that he bought in France and paid handsomely to have shipped back stateside.

What always puzzled me about that phrase is how they spell "wacko." It's supposed to be spelled "whacko." And since when is Michael Jackson shortened to "Jacko?" Why not "Mikey?" Nobody calls Arnold Schwartzenegger "Schwartzo" and his name is harder to spell. Anyway, I'm only left wondering if tabloids still think they're clever for saying "Wacko Jacko," if they settle back in their chairs and think "That's the best line we've done all day. Print it!"

They made fun of lawnmower racing on "King of the Hill" a bunch of times, most notably when Hank was diagnosed as having no buttocks. That show is more realistic than most live-action shows on TV.

I would like to see someone in the media print that Jacko is a pedophile.
Perhaps we would be allowed to run over him while racing lawn tractors..

Ahhh the Diminished Glutes..

So this lawnmower racing you speak of......They race around a track to cut down a picture of Michael Jackson on a stick liek the rabbits at the dog taack?

martini- anything that makes lawnmowing less tedious can't be all bad.

boudica- Bahrain? if he looks out of place here...

violet- i guess not, but any accidents and you'd have to remove limbs and toes and stuff

kevin- Ludwigs are pretty cool. Something very old-school about 'em

big dipper- nah, but thanks for stopping by

underachiever- L.O.S.E.R. Committee? That reminds me I forgot to vote

monkey -I think for all those reason you stated is why I find it so funny. I've tried watching that show but something about that Beavis Butthead artwork irks me. And something about Texas too.

vilefile- yeah, tasty right?

hb2- hope so. I hope so

pete- I really don't know what they do, but maybe you can suggest this to them. They'll be happy to know they have 1 fan.

I think they should have snow plow racing soon. Payola sounds like a breakfast cereal. No wonder it sounds tasty to you, ha ha!
