SCENE & HEARD
Friday, November 09, 2007
Nice Brakes
6:39 PM
Standing at the back of the area on pit road where the top-five qualifiers are held provided an interesting perspective when Dale Earnhardt Jr. came back from his qualifying run.

From 300 yards away you’re saying “he’s going kinda quick, yet.” And he wasn’t slowing up much as he approached the back of Bobby Labonte’s parked No. 43 Dodge. Finally, Junior came to a stop, brakes shrieking and smoke and brake dust spewing from the gaps in his left front wheel.

The show got better when Junior emerged and sinister doesn’t even begin to describe his look with his trademark black helmet, reflective ebony-tinted visor and black fireproof helmet skirt.

But then he took it off and heck, it was just ol’ Junior standing there in his red suit, grinning. And on a sunny afternoon in Avondale, all was right with the world.

I used to win pitchers playing air hockey. Oh, and bowling. I can’t hit the wall with a dart.

[glock rocks]

Yah. I’ve just been following Ricky Craven’s lead in the expert picks page of yahooooooo this year.

Rocko scored a Full Pull with a 1-2-3-4 qualifying run today. I think we need a congressional investigation...

There’s some folks want to see you over at the pink tent.

[tubebender]

As Tom Foley so aptly stated years ago... there does not appear any wrong doing and that is why we need a investigation

[Roccus]

Hey don-o, they’re pickin’ on me!

[glock rocks]

Nork, we got a situation here...

[Roccus]

Hey, you don't want me to get the crew from the Levin Lounge now. Some of those ladies are tough! (they're Stiller fans!)

[glock rocks]

Some of those ladies are tough!

As long as they're racing fans. The more the merrier!

[Roccus]

Everybody left so I guess I'm on my own.

[tubebender]

WOW!!! Now show us the rest of the house...

[SouthTexas]

That's not really what we call a bar. More like this:

[tubebender]

I am happy to report that the Dead Tree portion of the Church construction project is going much better than the Ground up Crustaceans portion...

[SouthTexas]

Thought I killed the thread again.

[Roccus]

[SouthTexas]

Now you’re talkin’!

[tubebender]

Psst... that’s the Clinton Library...

Back in my drinking days, I may have stopped there for one. (HAH! I never had one drink in my life) The Levin Lounge is free of charge to FReepers as long as they behave. Tiredoflaundry is our lovely barmaid and Fudd Fan is our gracious hostess and thread mistress. The doors open every Monday thru Friday between 5:15 and 6:00 PM EST and drinks are served until 8.
