AutoWeek more than a few weeks ago – I oughta know
Racing days
There was a time I imagined myself a slo-mo race driver…
Shanghai on fire?
My friends in the non-Chinese military business say they have plans to burn Shanghai to the ground and/or sink an American/European ship in a Chinese harbour to justify sending Chinese hackers back to pre-historic times.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Oops! Did a North Korean missile just land in a major Chinese city?
Hahahahaha….
Here’s hoping Jeff Gordon races well in the Daytona 500 today.
In sports news…
In sports news today, the Republic of Ireland allegedly sent a private formal notification to the University of Notre Dame requesting a change to the name and demeanor of the university’s school mascot, the “Fighting Irish.”
Depicting an Irishman as a short, bearded, balding gentleman in a green outfit has angered the Irish people for generations and they’re tired of being portrayed as fiery redheads quick to drink a pint of beer or barrel of whiskey at the drop of hat or the end of a brawl.
Instead, the Irish government would like to replace the mascot with that of a sheep gently grazing in a field or, if a tough mascot is still wanted, then a banshee or some other fearsome legend of old.
However, the demeaning, repugnant image of the Notre Dame mascot must change or else the Catholic Church will excommunicate the whole university for violating the Irish people’s right to a decent reputation as one of the last European defenders of the Catholic faith.
No more wee little Irishmen. No sirree!
The Virgin Mary approves this message of peace and love for those who claim her son Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
Letter Home
Someone please tell me…
Someone please tell me the difference between a woman who is treated as a trapped sexual object and a woman who is expressing her sexual freedom in a sign of feminine independence.
This past weekend I watched a couple of minutes of a stage diva marionette bouncing around with a couple of former coworkers on a platform above a football field in a technical dance routine that was as contrived a show of sexuality as any before or since.
A veritable puppet show.
The woman was praised for her performance but I, being older than the target audience, was not mesmerised.
Perhaps that is the reason I should ignore the carnival barker brouhaha surrounding the whole event and go on to the next issue at hand, especially now that only 13604 days are left.
Odd stat
According to our global product marketplace tracking system, there has been an odd surge in the sales of deer antler spray over the last few hours, beating out the “Haight-Ashbury/Maui Wowee” specials that usually sell so well on late Sunday evenings.
More as it develops…

Another look back
Finally cleaned out the old trunk — adding a few more jewels to the scanned collection before saying goodbye to dead trees and colourful ink, some lined up with current events such as the Super Bowl, a Steve Jobs biopic, new release of Microsoft Office, new release of 128GB iPad and the price of coffee these days:
