  • My road trip to Clearwater I made a wrong turn and ended up having to drive for 9 miles on a road with traffic lights on each corner. :roll: I couldn't get the gps to find another route. Took me forever to get there but it was a great show! After the show I was starving and wanted to get something to eat but just about everything is closed early on Monday nights in Clearwater and Tampa. I finally found a place that was open had some good food and a canned corona :roll: . I wasn't going to have it because I've had it in the past and it doesn't seem to taste the same. The bartender told me he bet people money that they couldn't tell the difference and had won money on it. Still didn't seem to taste the same. Guy comes over to talk to me and proceeds to tell me he's on his eight Yager drink. Not a shot this guy is having 8 yager as a drink :sick: He said he had control of it :lol:.Thanks bartender for keeping an eye on yager man.

    I've actually heard that canned beer is better because it keeps the sunlight out, ergo better taste. But I'm with you, I still can't do it :lol:

    Hey, we each only stalled once! Not bad for Truck considering he hadn't driven manual in years, and not bad for me considering there is a severe diference between our respective clutches!

    But on to other matters -- are you getting tickets for the Mars show? Looking for a ride there. :shifty:

    That John Denver is full of shit, man

    That John Denver is full of shit, man

    why? cuz he was against Reagan, the NRA, and censorship in music, who also supported Clinton and Carter or because he was a pot smoking, cocaine sniffing, acid tripping wife beating cheating alcoholic?

    ppl 'round here road trip to missouri (which is not far at all. maybe 20 miles) for four things.

    1. whiskey & beer (the alcohol is cheaper & the beer is a lot more potent)
    2. fuel for your car...cheaper
    3. smokin fuckers buy their cigarettes down there. why? missouri has cheaper cigarettes than iowa. why? missouri kicks ass & knows how to sell a fucking product...even cancer sticks
    4. fireworks 24x7 365...on & frickin on

    boom bang pow zing dash zag kerpow china made cherry ass bombs, screamin memes & roman candles. but that one indian guy only sells snakes & sparklers...he's a boring turd
