McConnell Demands to Know: Who Put Wheels on Hunley?
I took this shot behind a Lizard’s Thicket in my home county of Lexington. Now before anybody says anything disparaging, I must say that at least this guy (and I’m assuming, from the empty snuff cans encasing the antenna, that this is a guy) has a car. I’m in the condition of Ferris Bueller, who after calling Cameron’s car a "piece of ____" — causing Cameron to protest — had to explain:
It is a piece of ____. Don’t worry about it. I don’t even have a piece a ___. I have to envy yours.
My truck recently developed a terminal condition. Basically, it caught fire while I was driving it on the Interstate. I’ll tell the story once I’ve sorted out the situation in my mind. It’s been almost two weeks, and I’ve been avoiding the issue because I’ve been driving my Dad’s car while he and my Mom were out of town (which I guess is more of "Risky Business" sort of situation than a Ferris Bueller). Anyway, my folks came back today, so I’d better start thinking fast about how I’m going to get to work and stuff seeing as how we don’t have the light rail system I’ve always wanted.
By the way, that’s my poor truck sitting at the far end of the lot at the mechanic’s, next to the dumpster. I guess they put it there so none of the other vehicles would catch what it has.
As Ferris would say,
I asked for a car, I got a computer. How’s that for being born under a bad sign?

Brad, I have a similar story. It involves an upset Georgia football fan and a car.
Looks like the Lizard’s Lickit next to Food Line off 378.One more reason not to eat there.The people are even scarier than the car, although his heart for FAT women is admirable,AND he’s an artist(the empty snuff cans on the antenna was a stroke of genius).Maybe you could get your art critic to do a piece on this surrealist Lizardite.
Yeah, I had thought it was just another tragic case of somebody giving the wrong fella a case of beer and a spray can — until I saw the snuff cans.
That made it ART. That made in an INSTALLATION.
I assume the driver was on his way to set up his exhibit at Spoleto.
Andre Bauer blends his two loves: myspace and automobiles. Sheer genius. Bow down, bow down.
I wondered what that guy was up to these days. He’s been awfully silent of late. You’d think there was a big news story concerning him or something.

On second thought, maybe that’s just Will Folks makin’ a “likker” run while also picking up some peanuts and Pepsi.

That’s the grand prize in “The Education Lottery”. Lot’s of dropouts will be driving one soon.
