for the love of god, ben, please talk cars with bill.


on an entirely separate note, a dude rolled into the parking lot at the post office on 6th yesterday in a giant 1979 ford f150 blasting Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" and driving all slow n'shit.

it was like i was in the opening credits of Dazed n' Confused.

so awesome.

Given that Ben is a cycling enthusiast, this should be entertaining.

Nice. I've never thrown a javelin, though it looks like fun. My cousin had a '73 Javelin. It was pure awesome. Have you ever tried to throw a collared peccary? I'm told that they're waskly...
I have no idea what most of that means. We had a couple of generic javelines, as far as I could tell. I was not good.

That one looks like it was specially designed for Lamar's limp-wristed throwing style.

Did you just call him a gay nerd? Or just gay? Or just a nerd? Maybe you called him black? Is he black? Where am I? Who put this pudding here? Why do I smell burnt toast?

I think a javelin is a wild pig or something. With fangs and shit.

I'd say you should join the Nerd Liberation Movement (you have to look it up because I can't post links here yet), but then I saw this sentence on their site:

"For anyone who has two brain cells to rub together, this is rediculus!"

And right after that, he starts a sentence with "Me thinks . . . " That's just ridiculous.

A "Javelina" is a type of wild pig that lives in West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Northern Mexico. It's fantastically near-sighted, and more viscious than a broken jar of angry bees. Wikipedia has a couple of nice pages about it.

I had never seen a javelina until I went camping at Big Bend National Park. Being not-from-Texas, I'm impressed that there exists a small-dog-sized animal that looks completely innocent, but is actually powerful enough to kill an adult human. I also really like the way "javelina" sounds when you say it.

PS: Being not-from-Texas, I'm also completely in awe of Cattle Guards.

A racoon could easily kill a human if anyone would make guns that fit their hands.
