DUMPSTERThis is where threads go to die. Old threads are moved here (and displayed in reverse order) before they're forever deleted. While they'll most likely not be moved out out of the dumpster -- those posted to will gain a short reprieve of a month or two. Obviously no threads are to be started in this forum.
Donations of any size will help to defray the enormous legal costs from a lawsuit filed against the administrator of OldHippie.com, by what many refer to as a "Copyright Troll" law firm, for the posting of a TSA "Pat Down" photo they had bought the copyright rights to, after the photo was posted on this site, and then removed.

At the Monster in 2007, Sunday morning eliminations had us sitting in the staging lanes because of an oil down. The morning pot of coffee had caught up to me and I had to chit so bad I could taste it. I finally realized that I wasn't going to make it any longer and I bolted from my car to the 4' fence -- where my toterhome was on the other side. I tried to pummel horse the fence like I did as a younger man -- but the inertia of a 300 pound 53-year-old man had me laid out flat on the ground (at least on the other side of the fence), the top bar of the fence badly bent, and 70+ drivers and their crews laughing their ass off at me.
I was able to take care of business and ride my scooter back just as the cars were moving up.

Between the toter dent in the fence and that one, you are going to have to replace it with one more accident....
Hell -- I bent the bleachers in Jackson more with the toter than bending the fence in St. Louis with it. Thats' while I got a more squared front with a Century Class tractor, than I had with the front jutting out in the Columbia. I suspect I won't hit as much stuff anymore.
