Couple thoughts

Alright, I'm gonna talk about my Hall of Fame/Shame. Just some rants and raves I've thought of. I'll break this into two parts to make it easier.

First off, the Hall of Fame:
The American Motors Corporation; formed when Hudson and Nash merged back in the fifties, only to get bought out by Chrysler in '87, the last of the independent automobile cars manufacturers in the U.S. While many would say that they where a poor company(actually, most people probably haven't ever heard of them), I think they produced some of the coolest rigs to roll down the road. The AMX Sport Coupe, the Javelin, Rebel, Rambler, Matador, Pacer, Spirit, Gremlin, all wicked cars that feed my odd ball side. Someday I wish to own one (or six) of them.

Tom Collins; how much of a bad ass does one have to be to have a drink named after you? I'm sure Tom Collins does. It be awesome if I were to have a drink named after me. OK, so I've never had one of these drinks, so I can't say how good they are, but I'm sure they are as bad ass as they're namesake. Here's to Tom!

Power106.3, aka KPHR out of Watertown, SD; I sincerely thank the ones who created this radio station. Without you, I would have had to endure the countless craptastic country stations and lousy new pop/Top 40 hit stations throughout my teens. What could be cooler than a radio station that gives away Harleys during the summer and free beer every Friday? Add that to the all request Lunch hours and Saturday nights and you've got a winner! Long live rock.

Black Velvet; Don't get me wrong, while I like Canada, they're just like that unambitious, screw up, loser friend you had in high school (crap, did I just describe myself?). They're not much good for anything. But, luckily, they were able to get three thing right: Bacon, hockey, and whiskey. When it comes down to it, what else do you need? Out of all their whiskeys though, I'd have to say Black Velvet is the best. Toast!

And lastly, Top Gear; For those you don't know, Top Gear is a British automotive program. And, unlike most of the British Empire, it doesn't suck. They do all sort of test with new super cars, as well as celebrity interviews and cheap car challenges, all mixed with zany British humor. It's defiantly worth watching.
