Anyone want to lay odds on what car gets its butt worn out this week? :lol:

My bet is there on only a couple three "odd" ones when the "dust" settles...

In church yesterday I learned the disciples drove a Honda...

"... and they all came together in one Accord in Jerusalem..." :lol:

I'm running the Escort but you guys already know its the clear winner here

I tried my darndest at the last race to run "Pugsly" cause it really was faster for me in the rain by almost a second (Well... not quite a second...). But couldn't keep the stupid tail off the stupid fence at the hairpin or off the concrete wall after T2. :irked:

Otherwise, I would have been, as you say, "escorted" around this track.

Oh well... Out here in the boondocks the farmers have a saying,

"If it aint' the hogs... it's the darned windmill..."

Always something anyway you look at it... I'm still plodding along and will through this one too. It's what I do...

On this "Maze" of "sod"...
Tis I who'll "plod"...

And then continuing the cruel teasing Mr. P says:

"The wise mans choice of car Nice sectors "

What makes it cruel is:

Had LDM not posted that he was in the Escort, I would have thought... (and likely commented) "Wow... those are pretty good sectors!"

Instead I have to admit... "Wow!!! Those ARE pretty good sectors!"

I can tell already this race is going to be embarrasing for the phattboy. :lol:

NielsG · Apr 7, 2004

New dualshocks. :banghead:

My two new dualshocks are broken. Got one of them replaced so far. The other is on the way. The one I already got replaced is also broken. What the matter with Sony. Are they all drunks? :mad:

With my 1½ year old loose-stick long-cord controller:
39.6 - 1'10.1 - 1'34.2
35.8 - 1'05.9 - 1'30.3

Where are all you guys and girls? Lost in the maze?

Edit: Just a typo in my splits.

LDM · Apr 7, 2004

Either everyone has heard a panther and is giving no anther, or they are hunting wabbits. :lol:

My PS2 is an original release day machine and the DS2's are the same ones that came with it three years ago. I have one new one. Maybe I don't play enough. If I played enough to wear out my equipement maybe I would be fast.

Mr P · Apr 7, 2004

I had planned on running this round on the NTSC game, but the owner of the chipped PS2 has gone awol and swap discs wont play cdr based copies

Looks like my run will be a lot slower than I'd hoped for :irked:

@Max ... dont bother giving me the blether! .... in advance

should make things a bit more interesting

Old Geezer · Apr 8, 2004

Well, I sent a whole Box of chocolate covered "Moose Kak" to "Max E." but must have given FedEx the wrong address 'cause they sent it back. The "Bad News" is that I ate it ALL & now can't find my way around the "Maze." (Not that I EVER could, I "Love" the Maze but the Maze don't "Love" ME!) :lol:

Hope my "Pardner" the "phabulous phattboy" puts together a coupla "Good 'Uns" 👍 we're gonna need 'em!!!...UB57

That is what I kinda thought but didn't want to sound like a "blethering idiot" when I asked that out loud... :lol:

I also thought it sounded like what "moose kak" might actually come out of... a "blether" :lol:

"blether" I'm bright or "blether" I'm brong... :lol:

Hey...

What's the "blether" like down there in Texas? :lol:

phattboy (...likin' this word... "blether" you like it or not)

Bloody Brits got all the cool vocab...

LDM · Apr 8, 2004

"Blether"? That is what we have here - two pages of blether and no racing. But that is Ok. You guys just keep blethering away while you get dusted by my Escort. :cool:

muwhahahahahahahah! :lol:

Now don't hold back LDM... Tell us what you really think...

And actually, what we have been doing has been "blathering" away for two pages while getting dusted by your Delta... err Escort. (Sorry...)

Yep... "blathering" away about "blether"... that's what we're doing

(Or at least, what I've been doing...)

phattboy

Besides... I got a date all on my own... I didn't need to get an escort... :lol:

LDM · Apr 8, 2004

You asked for it.

I think we are all running for second or less.............................
We have already run this race before and Ron won by two seconds, now even if he says he is slower this time because he is running PAL he will still have a pretty good cushion. My teammate has made tremendous strides in mudslinging and is running well in car numero uno and I am hanging in there in my secret weapon. But I will be hard pressed to keep him out of second and keep the rest of you behind me.

But there has been unknown wackiness to crop up before in this series, and we still have to run our laps to see how it will shake out so we will see.

Oh yeah, I am known for getting decent times out of odd cars especially at the maze so do not be surprised if I am running something totally different, maybe even the Escort.

And you just enjoy your date, I paid good money to keep you occupied until Monday morning. Now if Ron doesn't find out I slipped a Mini engine in his car until Monday things will be looking good for the GTBN Mudslingers

phattboy · Apr 8, 2004

Now THAT is what I'm talking about!!!

Good Blather LDM (And I would know that because that's the only thing I am known for)

...although I'm a little disappointed...

Here all this time I thought I got this date all by myself only to find out... DARN!!! (or BLETHER) That'll deflate a guy!!!

And couldn't you have gotten me a date that's "phast"??? :lol:

Sheesh, I would think if you paid for it and all... I could have at least had a "phast one".

But NO you gotta go and get one that just keeps me "OCCUPIED"

Sheesh!!! I mean... that's what it says on the bathroom stall whenever I really gotta go or something. "ENTERTAINED" or "INTERESTED", at the very least, would have been better than "OCCUPIED".

phattboy

PS... Besides... I don't know about anyone else but I'm still racing for "SECONDS" Didn't realize I was supposed to be racing for "SECOND". :eek:

I guess I'll have to get to that too at some point later this week... sigh...So much Blather... So little time...

Max E. · Apr 8, 2004

LDM in his Pug 206 and GT3Mich in his focus will be quite formidable here no doubt. but Ron has a secret weapon of his own coming tonight

and me, well, i'll just try my best to keep up with the fast rally guys.

My fate exactly! Racing for the leavings! The other thing I'm known for.

Only just now seeing what the track looks like on the other side of T2... at that only a low 1'08.xxx in race... I keep blowing those two corners by the huts! The people who live there are now all sitting out on their porch pointing and laughing at me cause I keep having to turn around and try again :lol:
