My dad used to listen to that show in '78...
I remember all those songs...Fish Heads, Fish heads, fish heads. Remember Fred Blassie, With the Song "Pencil Neck Geek"...? He was wrestler in the '50s...
Randy Newman had two good songs I like Called "Short People, And "I Love LA"

Yep, That's Blassie alright.
I remember the line-
"Most any night you know where I can be found.
Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground.
So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust,
I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust."

"Scum-sucking pea-brain with a lousy physique!"

That all got started in the ring. Calling his competition, and the audience, and especially the ref's, pencil necked geeks was his schtick.

Expeditions are not good tow vehicles if the load is heavy at all.

This one musta' wuz. Lesson learned the hard way.

No, they really are not, and too many people who own them just won't hear it. That independent rear suspension, and the long overhang on the EL especially, just is not a stable tow rig.

Owners of SUV's like that really need to pay attention to the 80% rule. Superdutys on the other hand, pretty easily handle and even exceed the ratings. Different animal. I think a lot of Expedition owners think they have the equivalent of an F150 because they share a platform. They do not.

A 30' toy hauler w/ 5 quads is heavy. My 27'er with 2 vehicles comes in at +11K#. An Expy has no business being hitched to it. I see stuff like this every holiday weekend going to Utah. I'm sure I'll see one rolled tomorrow on the way up.
