Entertain me!

That sounds awesome! Me and my buddy will gladly go. I'm tall with some knarly dreads stickin out the back of my head. Look out for me if you go.

There's an overpass on HWY 2 at High River, take it and go west (towards the mountains :toothy10:) right into town, till you cross the railway tracks then immediately turn right. Try to find a place to park after the right turn, could be hard. They block off about 4 blocks of the downtown for the meet. I'm sure I'll be the only one there with a Black Demon at least I was last year. Only problem is that the weather man says it might rain sunday. I'll watch out for ya, might even have a cool one in the trunk.

Well, this one time, at band camp .................... :-D

I'm kidding. I never went to band camp. I was too busy working on my dad's stock cars.

So then the story should start out like this:

Well, this one time at the race track..........:-D
 
:snakeman:

LOL! Not a doable one in the bunch. No wonder their husbands were at the bar. :snakeman:

Well, this one time, at band camp .................... :-D

I'm kidding. I never went to band camp. I was too busy working on my dad's stock cars.

I met Melanie Troxel's sister here in Denver. She worked in the same building but a different office. She felt as though she was the Black Sheep 'Cause she never got in to racing. Her Dad was the one that really got Melanie started and working on his cars. She offered me free "Mile High Nat's" tickets and a chance to meet her sister but I got laid off before it happened.

No comment on "Band Camp", lol! I'll be nice for a change. :-D
 
When I was in high school I was riding with a buddy in his new IROC and he was bragging about how well the car handled. He proceded speed up and to swerve back and forth like an idiot. The next thing I knew we were going backwards at 80 mph a couple of the tires got of the pavement and we started spinning like a top. The car finally came to stop in the center median with no damage other than flat spotting his tires. I had to go home and change my shorts. I did learn that IROCs don't handle that great.
 
ha when I was in high school I was driving my aspen and I thought I was big bad, with a carb and manifold on my 318. I took off with a 85?? camero and was winning until l slammed it into R for race! It made some bad bad sounds and died. I coasted to the bottom of the hill before I finally got it started again and learned my lesson, don't drive autos they are bad for your image. I was able to drive the car home but it started to make a bad sound from the rear end which I learned was one of the teeth missing from the ring gear and rattling around.
 
I'm in a town I've never been in before (Edmonton) living in a camper with a guy I work with, with limited entertainment. We've managed to steal wireless internet, 2 TV channels from the air, and thats about it.

DRENO gave me the idea for this thread. Tell us stories about accidents from working on your car, limbs being hurt, etc.. haha. Or anything! Anything goes!

Where the heck did you find a place to camp in Edmonton? How long will you be here. Friday night bracket racing at Castrol Raceway if you want to see some fast Mopars. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 32, could be a little warm in the ole camper. Kev
 
Ive been hit in the head with 2 big rocks in my life. One when I was about 7, my cousin threw a rock over the bank and nailed me in the head.....and was really bleeding. Other time me and my other cousin were trying to hit each other with rocks from across a pond for a dollar, next thing I looked up and got nailed.............never play with rocks
 
When I was a kid we use to drive our cars down the
center of the road at 80mph and steer the car by opening
the doors.
 
OK, you guys are going to love this:

I was cleaning up the yard and figured I would just just "jump" on a big limb that had fallen off a tree. I put it on top of two logs and jumped in the middle....sure enough they both came up and whacked me on either side of my head and damn near knocked me out.

Now that's funny, do you know a guy named Wiley E Coyote!?
 
Ha Ha! Good one Joe, as the saying goes ''stupid is as stupid does''. bet you won't do that one again.

I AM WILEY E. COYOTE! lol! It's just amazing that I didn't fall off a cliff in my stupor. :-D Could be why I own a Duster and not a Road Runner. :)

Ha Ha! Good one Joe, as the saying goes ''stupid is as stupid does''. bet you won't do that one again.

Never, never, ever again.. :read2: That was a about a 3" rotten limb. That hurt, lol.

Well, we're living in Walmart parking lots at the moment. They're free! Although we've already been kicked out of one when you first get into Edmonton, near the Ikea. We will be here until we find work, either here or wherever we can find it.

Could you tell me what time the racing starts and ends?
And also give me directions? We're currently at a Walmart in Fort Sask. Thanks!
 
Well dang guys, you didn't say you were at Wal-Mart! Here's a list of Fifty Fun Things To Do ... now that's entertainment!!!! :-D

50 Fun Things To Do At Wal-Mart
Take shopping carts for the express purpose of filling them and stranding them at strategic locations.

Ride those little electronic cars at the front of the store.

Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten minute intervals throughout the day.

Start playing Calvinball; see how many people you can get to join in.

Contaminate the entire auto department by sampling all the spray air fresheners.

Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap.

Leave cryptic messages on the typewriters.

Re-dress the mannequins as you see fit.

When there are people behind you, walk really slow, especially thin narrow aisles.

Walk up to an employee and tell him in an official tone, “I think we’ve got a Code 3 in Housewares,” and see what happens.

Tune all the radios to a polka station; then turn them all off and turn the volumes to “10”.

Play with the automatic doors.

Walk up to complete strangers and say, “Hi! I haven’t seen you in so long!...” etc. See if they play along to avoid embarrassment.

While walking through the clothing department, ask yourself loud enough for all to hear, “Who buys this crap, anyway?”

Repeat Number 14 in the jewelry department.

Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you’re taking it for a “test drive.”

Follow people through the aisles, always staying about five feet away. Continue to do this until they leave the department.

Play soccer with a group of friends, using the entire store as your playing field.

As the cashier runs your purchases over the scanner, look mesmerized and say, “Wow. Magic!”

Put M&M’s on layaway.

Move “Caution: Wet Floor” signs to carpeted areas.

Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you’ll only invite them in if they bring pillows from Bed and Bath.

Test the fishing rods and see what you can “catch” from the other aisles.

Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon.

Drape a blanket around your shoulders and run around saying, “...I’m Batman. Come, Robin—to the Batcave!”

TP as much of the store as possible.

Randomly throw things over into neighboring aisles.

Play with the calculators so that they all spell “hello” upside down.

When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and ask, “Why won’t you people just leave me alone?”

When two or three people are walking ahead of you, run between them, yelling, “Red Rover!”

Make up nonsense products and ask newly hired employees if there are any in stock, i.e., “Do you have any Shnerples here?”

Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joes vs. the X-Men.

Take bets on the battle described above.

Nonchalantly “test” the brushes and combs in Cosmetics.

While handling guns in the hunting department, suddenly ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are. Act as spastic as possible.

Hold indoor shopping cart races.

Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from Mission: Impossible.

Attempt to fit into very large gym bags.

Attempt to fit others into very large gym bags.

Say things like, “Would you be so kind as to direct me to your Twinkies?”

Set up a “Valet Parking” sign in front of the store.

Two words: “Marco Polo.”

Leave Cheerios in Lawn and Garden, pillows in the pet food aisle, etc.
“Re-alphabetize” the CD’s in Electronics.

In the auto department, practice your “Madonna” look with various funnels.

When someone steps away from their cart to look at something, quickly make off with it without saying a word.

Relax in the patio furniture until you get kicked out.

When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream, “No, no! It’s those voices again!”

Pay off layaways fifty cents at a time.

Drag a lounge chair on display over to the magazines and relax. If the store has a food court, buy a soft drink; explain that you don’t get out much, and ask if they can put a little umbrella in it.
 
So then the story should start out like this:

Well, this one time at the race track..........:-D

BWa ha ha ha


On a side note, if I can change your screen name, it's going to be the "Babemister"
 
OK.
So the 383 in my RR breaks an oil ring and I really need the car. So I get this 440 (might as well upgrade) and I have to figure out how to pull the engine in my Wisconsin sand driveway. There are two tall evergreen trees on either side of the drive across from each other. I go up one tree about fifteen feet and wrap a chain around the trunk. I tie a rope around the other chain end and drag that end up the other tree and secure it to that tree. Great so far. Then I hang a chain driven block and tackle from the chain over the middle of the drive. After getting the car centered under the hoist, I get the hood off and disconnect all the clutch linkages, wires, mounts, etc. After everything is ready I secure the engine to the hoist and begin to lift it out of the compartment. As the weight begins to come off the front of the car it starts to rise. So far a fairly normal routine. But, as I keep lifting the front of the car is almost picking the wheels off the ground, so I figure correctly that the engine is stuck and needs a little coaxing. Now here is what I didn't know. As I pulled more and more on the chain the tops of the trees were going together and had actually criss-crossed. Yes, you guessed it. When I pried the engine free, the tops of the trees spread back apart, and it flew out of the car, and when it stopped bouncing it was about eight or nine feet up in the air. No damage to me or the car but it came very near to taking my head off. Hope you don't lay awake at night picturing this in your head.

When you go into the Walmart in the morning for your "sink shower", always be courteous and don't cut into the line of pregnant teenagers doing the same.LOL Ft.Saskstchewan is a good place to camp in a Wal Mart parking lot because the law there states that if you stay more than 30 days, squatters rights kick in and the parking lot becomes legally yours! If you do a search of Castrol Raceway all the info is there and google maps will get you there. It's only a couple of minutes from the International Airport, but quite a ways from you (Ft.Sask is north east of the city, Castrol is south west). What kind of work do you guys do, I can check around and see if I can help. Kev

Another one for the Wiley E Coyote club. That's hilarious, you've got to be making this stuff up! %&^$ Sorry, I fell off my chair laughing my *** off! Kev
