And in another automobile/winter olympics connection:

The Americans failed again to win a medal in bobsledding.  So far, the
only times we have won medals was in 1948 and 2002.  The Americans are
the laughing stock of the bobsledding community.

Enter Geoff Bodine and a few of his Nascrap redneck friends.  "We're
goin' to apply Nascrap technolgy (isn't that an oxymoron?) to these here
sleddin' thangs", he said, which was actually his 2nd affirmation.  His
first affirmation was, "What size engine y'all runnin' in these here
midgets? Huh....they don't use engines....ummm......are you sure?"  To
which he immediately followed with, "First, you need to purty up these
thangs with lots and lots of ugly beer, cigarette, and erectile
dysfunction stickers. That'll make 'em faster."  (Now that was all just
this writer's embellishment, but I suspect I'm not far from the truth.)

If I was involved in bobsledding I wouldn't let those Nascrap a-holes
anywhere near my sled - but that's just because I hate Nascrap and
anyone involved with it.  A more logical way to make that statement
would be, "What the fuck does a redneck from the south know about ice
and snow?!?!?!?!?!?"

Geez, if we wanted some "expert" technical advice we should have
consulted the Jamaican bobsled team!!!!!!!  Atleast those guys have some
bobsledding experience!!!

Having a Nascrap redneck "take a look" at my sled makes about as much
sense as Arabs controlling US ports!!!!

In the end, after all of Nascrap's meddling and sticking their nose
where it didn't belong, the 4-man US bobsled teams only managed 6 & 7th
place finishes.  Thanks a whole helluva lot for nothing, Nascrap!!!!!  I
guess the European bobsledding teams enlisted the expertise of Formula
1.

Maybe for the 2010 Winter Olympics we should consult with CART/IRL teams
- you know, people from the North who actually know what they're doing
AND have actually seen snow!!!!

"You know why they call the South the "heartland" don't 'ya?  'Cause the
brains ain't there!!!!!"
