Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone (All alone!)
All alone in her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone (All alone!)
All alone in her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.

Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!!! MONSTER TRUCK SUNDAY!!!!

Yeah it's funny and all. Sort of.

I just watched the original. The kid is actually delighted at getting a giant "monster truck" poster. You know, the kind of oversized car crusher with huge wheels that they show off at county fair tractor pulls.

I have kids this age. And looking at this kid - buzz cut, track pants, burly dad with a Steelers jersey - I can't help but cringe when I think what his Monday morning will be like at his likely rural U.S. public middle school. If I had to make an educated guess, he's going to get bullied. For weeks.

So down vote for me. De-viral this one. And it's not that funny anyway.

How topical that eating two hollowed out papayas filled with Hasma was one of the challenges in the season premiere of the Amazing Race this Sunday evening [you MUST use your chopsticks Monster Truck people!] =o/

Yeah it's not monster trucks but he's got a point. Politicians just say whatever they can to get a crowd into them. They're all lying bastards.

This is how I brew my beer. Acquiring strong men to beat my grains and monster trucks to stir my wort are hard to come by for the home brewer.

There would frequently be a Basketball game one night with a Canucks game less then 24 hours later and a concert less then 24 hours after that. How do they they put things together so quickly?

Maybe the ice is still laid once per year and then a sprung floor is fitted above it, in pre-made sections, when required for basketball or other events?
No idea if this is what they actually do, there would still be issues such as keeping the ice cool without affecting the basketball court - possibly an insulating air gap and/or rubber surface - but it's the easiest way I can think of doing it.

Here's how they do it in Raleigh:

Nice one, seems I was pretty close. Though I'd never have guessed they did a similar thing with tons of dirt for monster trucks - that's insane!
