Faith, fear, and reason are the rock, paper, and scissors of human existence
Been a while since we had a “Great Quotes From South Marion” entry. That one’s Number 35. I really don’t recall what wrenched that thought from Ed’s twisted brain, but I’ll bet it involved tequila.
Me and Marph went over to West LA last week to help Capital K move. We actually moved her on Friday, but she wanted us to come over Thursday night to go to a bar she frequents. Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the Piano Man plays at a pub called the Rusty Bucket (it’s actually inside of another, much larger bar called the Neon Cactus). Anyway, this guy is top notch. A fairly huge room and he makes the place rock. Requests all night long. Guns ‘n Roses, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Sugar Hill, pretty much anything you could want. Audience participation on steroids. We’ll have to put it on the agenda.
Hot hot hot at the Races this week. Good size crowd. Not as packed as the last race, but a natural sellout nonetheless. The Banjo Stringers were out in full force with Mike, Leslie, Another Anna, and Steve-O anchoring a large group on Race Row. Jeremy, Kristy (Wi Wo), Keith, Robert, Matt, and some more of their crew took up the east wall and I think they even had some people scattered around elsewhere. Facial Shot showed up with a decent group, nice to see those guys again. Kind of a Mini Fister team tonite off to my northwest. At the west end of the bar were Liam and his wife, in from Ireland, and Lyndsey seemed to be in charge of a fair size group of unaffiliated racers in the Skyboxes at the east end. Steve callin’ balls and strikes. Rob behind the bar. Nelia in the kitchen. Rhonda on the floor, serving us all. It’s been a while, but I think it’s finally time for-

Crab Racing’s own little bit of diversity, Kenny Mac was in from Cali to join us. I don’t think the crowd realized the greatness that they were in the presence of. Hammer Time! Always a pleasure to see Kenny. Get on my last nerve indeed!
The Stringers led the way with five heat wins, an excellent effort by Facial Shot with four, and the Fisters and Fokkers get one apiece. We had a dead heat for Third in the finals, so we had a run off to decide it.
Sonny’s got some thing going on on the 22nd, so no races until September 5th. I’ll dig thru the archives and clean up the links on an old issue and post it for the next one. Not much else going on. We’ll probably get to PdG over Labor Day. Maybe we’ll see you then.
In the words of Madeline Kahn– “If it’s Wednesday, it’s wacing.
