Some gas stations used to rent the bays, but I think that is all gone now. One a-hole tipping the car off the lift would wipe out a decade of profits....

Anyone at the Doo-Dah Parade today? Dropped the wife and daughter off.

2011 Pasadena Doo Dah Parade - Welcome

Gotta stick around and "supervise" my son and his buddies as they edit their Fahrenheit 451 video. Starring my forearms, gloved hands, a piece of 1" PVC painted black, a can of WD40 and a big ball of flame....

I told them I had to do the flame part as if any of them got burned, their mothers, starting with my wife, would beat me to death. If I got burned, I'd be OK with that as opposed to being thrown out of the house and sued penniless. Since my Econoline went to the crusher, I wouldn't even have a place to live other than under the local freeway overpass, if there is a vacancy.

Anyway, I'm hoping the video produces a gasp and worried look or two at school. That's the way I like it.... As long as the kids get an "A".

There's several places where that's still done...the pole looks a lot different though, and they get paid

The pole dancing championships were in New York this week. Does that count?

Awesome
BTW
If any of y'all get a chance at a visit or tour of the Air Force Academy, do yourself a favor and do it.
Can't even explain how cool it is.

Happy that that one is gone. I had pretty much given up on it ever happening. It is good to know that we killed his ***, instead of him dying from syphilis or a goat bite or something.

Do you think we will ever get to meet the Seals who conducted this mission?
