Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Personally, I’ve been watching a lot of men’s fashion and (tangentially) cobblers channels over the past year. I haven’t intentionally looked at their numbers, but I think one of the ones I like is running about 0.1PG.
I just looked at a different one in particular, and it’s at over 10PG.

I did pinewood derby as a kid. We had the bright idea to saw a darth Vader figure in half and glue him torso and up into the car.

I wanted a red circle in back…you know a spaceships thruster…

It was black and had a ‘Vader 6’ painted
On the side. We glued some lead weights in it but it was not aerodynamic. I think my old man did much of it; but he made me sand it! Not sure if the life lesson stuck…what a weird untapped 40 year old meme pet was just conjured!

I modeled mine after the Hot Wheels car, Large Charge

I didn’t paint mine, though- I just (crudely) carved it into a shape vaguely resembling it.
 


When I was a Cub Scout, my dad helped me with my first Pinewood Derby car, thinning down the plastic wheels on his lathe. It was the first one down the track during its first heat, but then it hit hard, toppled off the track, and one of the front wheels broke. I was devastated, but my dad moved some of the screws we'd put in the hollow front underside for ballast to rebalance it, and it made it through all of the rest of the heats on three wheels, coming in 4th place - not enough to place. I was back to being devastated.

Then the next year, we didn't narrow the wheels down as much as the previous year, and our car came in first place. Good memories.

Look, no offence to US soaps, but I don't think they're in the running for over the toppest. Not as a collective. Indiviudal ones might rank.. e.g. the oft mentioned but rarely seen* Passions.

Aussie soaps are no more ott. In fact they tend to glorify the mundane.


*rarely seen by me.
Years ago a buddy of mine was really into American soaps. He had been trying for years to get me to watch one. Finally one day I broke down and said I'd watch an episode. I still don't remember which one it was.

Anyway, the scene opens up to a group in a cabin talking about a woman who ran out into the blizzard in the middle of the night, and now that it was morning they should go look for her. So they walk outside into the howling wind. The fake snow is falling lightly straight down and there's about a quarter of an inch of the stuff on the forest floor. It doesn't take long for them to find the woman sleeping in the snow on the ground with another quarter inch or so of snow covering her. She wakes up, not cold and just fine. That's when I announced that I had given it a shot and was done.

Fast forward a few years and he says that he understands that the episode I saw wasn't that great, but I should give it another shot. I finally give in and the opening scene has a group of people dressed in cowboy getup and riding horses. I asked him what was happening and he says, "Well, they went back in time..." I cut him off and said I was done.

I haven't seen a soap since. At least not a soap other than Soap, the old Soap Opera parody that originated Benson. That one was funny as hell.
 



Seriously, who opened up the can of dumb ass in that thread.
