I spent the last two years of high school in a daze, blocking away the questions that life, and my Mr. Natural blacklight poster, seemed insistent on posing. I attended class sparingly, played foosball heavily, and smoked weed enthusiastically. So enthusiastically that my nickname was "Bogart." Okay, maybe it was the last four years of high school.
Most of that daze happened at a little strip mall foosball parlor on the Eastside of HonoluIu. Inside that dingy flourescent sanctuary I discovered it really didn't matter if you were black or white, a surfer or a hodad, whether you had enough money to buy air shocks for your Camaro. Everyone was welcome in our club of disaffection, as long you had a pukka shell necklace and a roll of quarters and a spray can of silicon lube for the old table that had a sticky goalie shaft...

Believe it or not, I used to be a “Professional Foosball Player.”
I couldn’t have picked gold or bowling? What a maroon I am!
I went through 7th-8th grade, until I left high school in a daze. My brain continues to force me in a daze still. No I don’t know what’s wrong.
That is just absolutely drop-dead hilarious!
I lol’d IRL.
Office admin came by my office to see what I was laughing so hard about.
Foosbumparoo.
Ping both the Fanon and Hair Gel lists.
Drop dead, wicked funny. BTT.

"That there is the "Tobacco King" '64 Galaxie 500 of R.J. Reynolds heir Zack Reynolds. Up front, a 427 FE topped with a Latham axial flow blower, fed by 4 sidedraft Carters. In back: A 1000 hp Turbonique rocket-fueled drag axle. Put 'em all together and figure 1500+ hp to the rear wheels. This was Reynolds' Saturday Night Special, which he street raced in Winston-Salem and Greensboro NC in the 60's. I interviewed a man for the Garage Magazine article who worked on the car, who reported that Reynolds was absolutely nuts and (given his family station) had no fear of the police, and thought nothing of kicking in the rocket motor for a low-stakes street race."
Hmph.
Iowahawk, though I love your blog dearly...
I have no choice but to invoke the (more-Ford-appropriate) Thunderbolt of Zeus and inform you that I must have this car, with the divine help of Poseidon!
Heh. That is classic!
Nighttime bump for whoever may be around.
