A My Little Ponies stage show??? I can't decide how I feel about this:
- Full of child-like wonder?
- Amazed someone smoked enough crack to come up with costumes and choreography for something this retarded?
- Creeped the fuck out?
Oh. My. Goodness. On the soul of Jerry Reed, how did I not know about this????
I left out a detail up there. It was on May 15-17, 2007. MY 30TH BIRTHDAY WAS THE SAME DAY AS THE 30TH BIRTHDAY OF SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BANDIT RUN AND I MISSSSSED IT!!!!!!!!!
But you know what? Just like their was a sequel to Smokey and the Bandit, they're doing it again this year. Vacation plans and birthday present to self for 2008? DONE.
"The good folks at YearOne, along with Restore A Muscle Car, Motortopia, and 78TA.com, have organized the first Bandit Run to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of the original Smokey and the Bandit film. It'll be a recreation of the route Burt Reynolds took in that American cinema classic, taking participants from Texarkana, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia, passing through Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama along the way. East bound and down, indeed.Smoke. Key. And. The. Bandit. Cross. Country. Road. Trip. Trans. Am. I. Can't. Breathe... Skip to the -6:00 minute mark on this clip to see the part that almost literally made me pass out:
The cruise is open to all makes and models, but Trans Ams are especially coveted, particularly black '76-'81 T/As and SE models. The Bandit Run starts on May 15 and ends in Atlanta on May 17."

I'm sorry in advance for this entry.
But as I was unpacking more stuff last night, I went into serious reminiscing mode. So when I was in high school I got Rolling Stone magazine for several years, and was too much of a pack rat (and obsessive metal fan) to get rid of any of them. Before I moved away to college, I went through every damn magazine and clipped out anything of worth and saved it. (This mostly included anything involving Guns N' Roses, Chris Cornell, surfing, or Conan O'Brien.) I'll be posting some of the other ridiculous stuff I re-found, but for tonight, I'm going to show you the most awesome thing in my high school heavy metal scrapbook.
The "Can you match each of the Young Ones with their vomit?" match game quiz:
Answers will be posted....never. If you don't know the answers, go rent both seasons of the Young Ones right away and stay up all night and watch them ALL. Or do like I've always wanted to do: lock yourself in your house for about 6 months and watch only this show and see if you walk out of your house 6 months later with a British accent or not.
