Let’s take a walk away from cars for this posting. I know, but it seems that a little rant about things that don’t involve Votes, winning a Cheap Ass Trophy or Class Jumping would break the monotony.
The subject matter today is junk mail. Not the stuff you get from the USPS but the crap you get in e-mails. I run 3 different e-mail addresses and the amount of crap is mind numbing. I was running a fourth account but it became such a toilet for shit (literally) that I flushed it.
If the city ever got wind of how much SPAM I got they would make me open a food bank. The accounts get upwards of 100 pieces a day, each. Luckily with the filters set correctly I only get a few here and there.
But I still get to clean out the filters or the e-mail doesn’t run correctly and the computer slows down. The subject matter is astounding and goes from banking to health to sex and jobs.
Nigerian Princes asking for my account numbers to dump billions into, with my reward being 10% of the gross. Did you see my new Bentley? Yeah Right. My American Express account has been used in Europe, send us your account info so we can issue you a new card. Never had one so how's that working for you.
The one about the colon flush and loose weight really got to me. I’ve done the colonoscopy bit and that was a real joy, so why would I want to do that on purpose. If I wanted a flush, 2 cups of coffee and a banana usually work just fine. My ass is not the exit for the Holland Tunnel. What the hell is an Acai Berry anyway?
Be a Google Millionaire. Huh? I use google all the time and they have yet to send me a check. Earn thousands a day using our easy e-Bay selling plan and what the hell is so hard about snapping a digital photo of the stuff you’re selling and posting it to e-Bay. Earn $500 a day working from home. I already work at home and make what I want on any given day. I’m not seeing this as part of the Economic Recovery, do you?
Then you can get your medication dirt cheap at some online pharmacy in Outer Mongolia. If you have taken some other Medication that nobody with half a brain cell has ever heard of, it may lead to some mystery disease that even Joe Bornstein is staying the hell away from.
Now if I took all the penile enhancement and enlargement pills they keep harping on, about 8 times a day I’d have a large following of porn film producers or a twin Brother in my pants. If I have that big a problem with the size of my manhood I’d get a job as a eunuch for the King of Saudi Arabia’s harem.
Some times they come in German and I'm beginning to think that its excerpts from some Military Parade Manual. Of course you always get the 15 to 20 from yourself as some Spammer gleefully chuckles that his program can do that.
Maybe tomorrow I'll talk about car Shows

Andover/ Oxford Double Your Pleasure
Well now, while Bill At HotKarz circles his wagons for what seems to be a constant stream of attacks from people who will never get it. Perhaps they just choose to be argumentative. I thought I was bad, but these guys are out for blood. We can talk about a couple of shows and what is on the horizon.
Anyway Andover is coming this Saturday, during Andover Old Home Days, better than a fair (less cow poop), Chicken BBQ that is to die for and of course a nice little car show put on by a great crew of veterans in Western Maine Street Rods. It's Participant vote and nobody actually cares about block voting because the woods are very deep in Andover. Does a guy named Hoffa mean anything to anybody.
They have a parade, arts & crafts, no poop and one of the better grassy locations. Thats on Saturday. Now lets hit it on ...
...Oxford, at the New Balance Factory Outlet. This used to be a 2 day job that the Norway/Paris Lions put on but now its been carved into a one day event by one of the Newer clubs around, the Uptown Kruzers ( Spelled OK???) (Looks Kool). Now they might be a new club but they have a few old hands that helped at the Frozen Custard Show several times and some real good people thrown in for good measure. They'll have food and activities to keep us busy and you can always buy some shoes.
Looks like the weather is going to be possibly the best for a weekend so far this month.

Horror Story
Went To R.A.S.H., not have rash, but went to RASH and heard all kinds of stories of past glories and misguided youth.
One story I did hear was direct from the Cars owner. Big Mike is the owner and this is a horror story that no one should have to endure.
Monday night he went to Pikes Oasis in Livermore and as usual was having a Big Mike good time. At some point he went back to his car and found a 3 to 4 inch block of a metallic like substance on his roof. This block of metal had protuding from it, the remnants of steel cables or some type of cable.
This was apparently thrown on his car roof from a distance as it did leave a path of destruction on the paint and roof.
Pikes needs to be aware of this as do all the people that attend the Cruise Night. Put the word out. Big Mike ain't happy. At this point its hard to say if this was aimed at Mike or just happened to be his car that caught it. But it is believed to be no accident in any case.
We display our cars at our own risk but we won't display our cars in a war zone.
If Pikes is trying to get a Cruise Night of distinction going on Monday Nights I don't think this is the Distinction they want.

Ack Ack Cack Hock... Hair Ball
You ever see a cat hock up a hair ball. They are contortionist. They squirm and writhe and finally it comes out and they feel better.
That may be what I need to do here is chuck up a hair ball, because I've got something stuck in my throat and I need to get it out. Ack
I read Hotkarz.com all the time. I am not Sniping I'm pointing out something that irks me a little. This is not a personal attack on Bill Vaughn.
HotKarz. has Picture Galleries. HotKarz can't make all the shows. HotKarz allows pictures submitted by others. These are great things to have access to and thank you Bill for providing it.
But, when a series of pictures is sent in to be posted, it would really nice if this series did not contain a shameless self promotion campaign of the photographers vehicle(s). Ack. Ok that's better, but there is another one.
Block Voting, Power Voting , Cheating etc. I totally agree we need to stop it. I totally agree that it is wrong and is unfair. How are we going to stop it. The threat of "We know who you are and we will make you regret it". Yeah like I'm pissing my pants with fear on that one.
Does this mean that if a couple of friends are walking together while voting that it will be construed as a block vote. I really don't see how you can say without a shadow of a doubt that a small group of friends walking , talking, pointing things out to one another is a block vote. Are we going to implement a mandate that says you will arrested and Brought in for questioning if more than 3 people are gathered together to vote. Are we going to have guys in trench coats going around inspecting ballots with bad German accents saying "Papers Please" and if they aren't found to be in order you will be shipped off to a work camp. Lets not get stupid with a deterent or I'll join the resistance and blow up your bridge. Cack
Captain Nut Sack has been spotted and is living the life in the forest of Nevermore. He still has a small group of minions that cling to him like lint. The organization that he left seems to be doing ok and is getting ready to revamp itself. Hopefully the members can get rid of the last of his minions and get back on track. Hock... Hairball
Now if I could just learn to lick ....

Belgrade, Page 2
I was told last night and again today that people were looking for me at Gorham. I asked if they possessed a rope or tar and feathers. Neither, they wanted to thank me for writing this Blog.
Thank you for reading, thank you for allowing me to vent and at times point out stuff that needs to be pointed out.
To those that think Mr. Matthews and I are affiliated, we are, but only by mutual respect, trust and friendship. Ken listens to what I have to say and I listen to him. Get to know him, He's a good guy and Janet is even better.
So now back to Belgrade.
One participant can give all of us a bad reputation. This one participant really pulled a bone head play and showed great disrespect to all the participants and Belgrade Fire Fighters. This participant was chosen as a Trophy winner in his class. He was given his trophy, immediately got in his vehicle and left. His was the Second Class called. He showed his true colors as being a Master Trophy Hunter today. He was also one of the ones that left Acton once he found out there were no Classes, just 20 awards.
Most of us know him and we will make aware of his wrong doing.
Congrats to all the others winners that stayed for all the Trophies

Belgrade, Better?
Well for a dark and dreary day with heavy mist, light rain and rampant reports of improper judging from last year hanging over its head Belgrade's Firemen did a fine job anyway even with a low turnout. The reason for the Low turnout was probably the weather and Gorham yesterday. From the conversations I had with several people of interest, they really didn't give a crap what went on last year.
The judges were observed using a point system in their endeavor to be fair and impartial and proved that they were up to the task.
Many of their picks were very good ones with a few surprises, throwing a few perennial winners for a loop. With this it also gave a chance for other awesome vehicles to attain winners status for once.
Only complaint I saw was the Guys at the Gate, they asked what class you wanted rather than tell you what class you were in. The Special Interest Class as usual only had about 1 or 2 cars that belonged there.
With very little tweaking this show could and in all probability will continue. And well it should, as it is only in its 3rd year and seems to take constructive criticism better than heavy handed opinions and heated debates.
To Scott and all the Firemen, Well Done.

Just Wondering
Just Wondering... What the organizers of OOB are actually thinking by raising the Registration fee to $15.00. Are they really trying to blame the economy for the unbelievable price hike. Or are they becoming a group of opportunistic price gougers.
Just Wondering... If the person who commented about not knowing what the Right Coast, GoodGuys & NSRA are has actually ever been out of the State of Maine. Did they actually think I wouldn't notice the utter naivete of the statement. Do you really think I shouldn't send them to their room without their supper.
Just Wondering... How many people actually think we have beaten the dead horse formerly known as Acton enough. Yes it was different, Yes it didn't fit many peoples idea of a car show. Will it be different next year? No, I don't think so, it works the way they want it to.
Just Wondering... How many people actually had a good time at last years Belgrade Show and are actually looking forward to this years. Scott Routhier has actually contacted me and made sure I'll be there. Makes me wonder if its just a few malcontents that got pissy about not getting the weekly fix of plastic tube, gold shiny brittle shit and small blocks of marble.
Just Wondering ... How many of you actually thought I was going to say $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy in the last paragraph.
Just Wondering... If Trophy Poachers will ever get a clue and realize that they are in denial and go to a meeting for Trophy Poachers Anonymous. If Class Jumping will ever become an Olympic Sport.
Just Wondering... If anybody misses the tales of Captain Nutsack. If nothing else he was fun to write about.
But then Again I'm Just Wondering

OOB
After reading it on HotKarz, and truly thinking these people smoke crack, I waited to see if it was true and I recieved an official confirmation in Writing that the Registration is $15.00 day of the show and it will be 2 trophies per class. There web site had stated 3 trophies and no pricing available.
Shame on them, making all you fine people actually pre pay in full for a $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy and the rain date is set for the 20th
This is a ridiculous amount to pay for a one day show. All participants registering the day of the show will get a free tube of K-Y Jelly and a kiss.
I did however get a phone call from Bangor and Wheels on the Water Front is on and hoping to get some cars from the "Other Maine" (that would be us). Its Scheduled for the 12th of Sept., which is the weekend before the K-Y Jelly Fest in OOB.
That says to me put the $15.00 in the tank and go to Bangor and enjoy the water front and if I remember correctly Hollywood Slots is around the corner. Convenient if you really want to piss your Money Away

Yes It Was Me
After getting a couple of comments here at EXHAUST FUMES and then having a Phone Conversation with one or two people who went to Acton I had thought all was good with the world. Evidently I was wrong.
Seems some people just can't get their head around a format that only gives out 20 awards for 200 car field. These were awards, not trophies and at no time was there any mention of classes.
You see 3 or 4 people picked by the organizer were told to go out and find the 20 top vehicles on the field in their eyes. Simple. Does it really matter if this format is used at the huge shows of 2 to 3 thousand vehicles that draw stupid money and real aftermarket vendors like Sanderson Headers, Edelbrock, SoCal Speed Shop, etc. Not the podunk vendors selling half assed used registration plates from 1937 or 100% authentic antique Betty Boop reproduction salt and pepper shakers. When used at these Large Shows they pick 50 to 75 from the thousands of choices. With no complaints and they return every year.
As far as the Unbiased judge stuff goes, Show me an Unbiased Judge and I'll show you someone who used to be a Tibetan Monk living in a hut on a Mountain top. Unless your a paid judge who has done this for years Sit Down.
Its different, you don't understand, you might think it unfair or rigged. Probably you could have had something better to do. But the weather was the best so far this year, the people you knew were going were all people you enjoy being with, maybe.
And for those that read HotKarz it was me "The Editor" that tried to explain the way it worked. But as you can see some will never get it. Their just concerned about a $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy or in this case a $ 50.00 Media Blasted Award worthy of display on the Mantle.
Some don't even Know what Right Coast, GoodGuys and the NSRA are or what they do. Must be related to the Tibetan Monk.
I guess that puts you and I one up on them. I guess if your so embedded in a way of doing things then being out of the ordinary or different is like being from another planet.

Changing The Name
I'm going to change the name of this blog to "Big Mikes Commentary". He wrote me a comment about how I should tell the readers about this Cruise Night thing up at Pikes in Livermore. Well Hell Mike I'm just going to let you do it, by posting your comment right here.
So without further expenditure of my precious energy here is the Scoop about Pikes, Take it away Mike.
Big (wishes the Rattle-Lac would hole-shot) Mike said...
While on the subject of "good shows"....Don't know if you want to pass this on, but just got back from the Cruise night at Pike's Corner Oasis in Livermore Falls- What a cool cruise night that was! They had a live band (Matt & The Barn Burners)playing blues/rock and as always, were encouraging hole shots (even a LFPD cruiser roaming around didn't stop em'!) They also had pretty decent Cruise specials (I paid $4.00 for a cheeseburger and dog on the grill and for once, the weather held and about 50 to 75 cars showed up! The organizers are really trying to make a go of this cruise night, and will try to have live bands a few more times this year- so if your readers are looking for something a little different on mondays......
Thanks Mike

2 Things That Really.........
Yes, just two, for today. That's things that are really beginning to piss me off.
Big Mike hit upon it in the last post. It's people or participants that do not stay for the awards.
I can not get my head around the fact that some people will leave early who are in line for an award. It shows a lack of respect to the organizer and a disregard to other potential winners. As most of the shows in the State of Maine are put on by organizations who are trying to raise money for some school or food pantry and even other non-profits. The cost of shipping the $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy directly affects the money raised.
I can understand a family emergency or illness, I can also see if its a participant vote show and you know for a fact your chance of winning is less than the proverbial snow ball in hell. Other than that, Sit Your Ass Down.
In order to combat this, it would be a little more work for the organizer, the participant should be told they must be present to win any and all trophies and must check out if they leave early. That's right check out. Turn in the show Placard with their class and number so that they may be crossed off the roster of participants completely. This could also save the organization money in mailings the following year as the participant info should be crossed off also.
The other thing that's been stuck in my craw the past few months are these flaming butt munchers that have to leave immediately after they find out they didn't win a trophy and want to beat the rush.
First off, that's way disrespectful in my eyes. Have the decency to sit through the entire awards ceremony. Just because you didn't get to dance doesn't mean the girls were ugly. Lets face it most of the announcers are using the P/A system they got with the Mr. Microphone gift pack in 1983. It Sucks.
Your mufflers were to expensive and the baffles really don't work, as your leaving with an exhaust rumble at the OSHA approved limit for an explosion. Everybody thinks that You Suck.
New rule, If you leave during the awards ceremony at a show, you will be banned from that show the following year or have duct tape applied to certain parts of the anatomy and slowly peeled off. Hopefully a more hairy portion.
Well I can see it's time to go to the Shooting range for some frustration relief.
Until......

3 Guys, 20 Some Odd Awards, All Day To Do It
Acton is that, and just that. They have always done it that way and hopefully always will. With a no Class format and 3 guys picking the winners its a bet things are pretty laid back.
I could have gone, as my family thing was cancelled. Probably because they found out I was coming to it. But the wife and I decided to catch up on some yard work in the warm sun. So the info I have is from Big Mike and this is what he says.
"Went to Acton today. Very cool show, a TON of cars I've never seen (including some SIIIIICK old school rods/kustoms)and the fact that there were no classes and 20 trophies for the entire show kept the trophy poachers away and sent the ones who showed up packin'!(Literally- a few showed up, and left within minutes!)SSDD (a new one for your acronyms!)The only funny thing I saw was the fact that the organizers were charging $15.00 for a spot in the "Car Corral" for people who had cars for sale, and donations for entry into the show for the people who wanted to show. I must have seen 15 to 20 cars on the show field with "for sale" signs. Again, another case of people trying to screw the system! Too bad, as it was a slap in the face to the organizers,who did a hell of a job putting on a show, and had some really nice trophies to give out (between those and the fact that they will have to ship about 80% of them to the winners as they apparently couldn't wait to get their trophy in person, they probably LOST money)Probably are the same people who piss and moan the loudest when a good show goes away! Oh well, voice is getting hoarse from screaming at the proverbial wall, thanks for recommending this show, I will definitely go again next year! "
Thank's Mike. Sounds like a good show again and next year I'll Plan Better.
I could have gone, as my family thing was cancelled. Probably because they found out I was coming to it. But the wife and I decided to catch up on some yard work in the warm sun. So the info I have is from Big Mike and this is what he says.
"Went to Acton today. Very cool show, a TON of cars I've never seen (including some SIIIIICK old school rods/kustoms)and the fact that there were no classes and 20 trophies for the entire show kept the trophy poachers away and sent the ones who showed up packin'!(Literally- a few showed up, and left within minutes!)SSDD (a new one for your acronyms!)The only funny thing I saw was the fact that the organizers were charging $15.00 for a spot in the "Car Corral" for people who had cars for sale, and donations for entry into the show for the people who wanted to show. I must have seen 15 to 20 cars on the show field with "for sale" signs. Again, another case of people trying to screw the system! Too bad, as it was a slap in the face to the organizers,who did a hell of a job putting on a show, and had some really nice trophies to give out (between those and the fact that they will have to ship about 80% of them to the winners as they apparently couldn't wait to get their trophy in person, they probably LOST money)Probably are the same people who piss and moan the loudest when a good show goes away! Oh well, voice is getting hoarse from screaming at the proverbial wall, thanks for recommending this show, I will definitely go again next year! "

Acronyms
–noun
1.
a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, as Wac from Women's Army Corps, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.
The military is the most perverse user of the acronym by far, but as technology has crept into our society at a rate that land speed racers are proud of we use them everyday. In texting, sexting, twittering to your tweets peeps props and crops. We see them in e-mails, LOL -Laugh Out Loud, ROFL -Rolling on Floor Laughing and so on.
We have used them off and on for years with FUBAR and SNAFU being used in a normal way without causing concern of being obscene in public. Its not obscene if you don't know the meaning of Snafu and Fubar. Snafu = Situation Normal All Fucked Up, Fubar = Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. So now you see how obscence it really is. Thats why we usually laugh a little when we use them.
But now we use them here in our blogs on a regular basis. Postings titled over at Hotkarz, OOB being a prime example and both he and I adopting CHOP in recent postings for a substitute to Cumberland House of Pizza.
With them being used by government agencies its only a matter of time before language will be AKA and communication will be FUMTU. For years many of us have had FAQ's about this and have asked them to KISS. But like any and all things, they have looked at us and said "DILLIGAFF". If you are doing something out in the yard and get asked by a neighbor a more than obvious question you can wave them off and say GASP or say to your self WTF. On Tuesday's you can come to the RASH and get a burger
I'll list the meanings below and some are obvious but some I couldn't figure out for a little bit. Be prepared some are off color and I kept it as clean as possible.
Hopefully the next generation won't be born with abnormal thumbs and real language will survive. If not I'll become a PITA and wave a giant FTW flag. Half way there already.

Acton
It's a show of a different color, but well worth the trip. I went to this show a couple years ago and found it different because there are no classes. There is however a swap meet of sorts and some vendors of newer stuff on hand. Food vendors are in abundance and its generally a good time.
The show portion is judged, and as I said there are no classes, so all the cars are mixed together. The judges are there to pick the top 25 vehicles on the field. These judges are usually a hell of a lot more worthy of being called a judge than the monkeys we had last weekend.
The trophies are drop dead gorgeous. Made by a local vendor of awards, these are etched glass, that are a great addition to anybodies award display. These are not a $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy.
Anybody that goes will or should have a good time. I was planning on going, but was informed of a belated family obligation. See you next a Belgrade.

Resolved...
This Blog was started as my slanted, half bubble off plum, look at the car show scene here in the Great State of Maine. This included some rather outrageous rants on big box stores, parts stores, politics at Car Shows and the State Capitol. Also trying the patients of some organizers and participants, while making most everybody laugh at themselves and others.
With a smattering of updates on Car Shows, Federal politics and misinformation from outside sources, it was at its best informative. As of late it has not been. It has focused more on the diatribe of useless reaction pointed at me and myself taking aim at the other guy in return. This has caused both this Blog and Hotkarz to be mired in crap that was hurting us both.
After listening to some advice and some constructive criticism from a few people in the past few days, and a little discussion with the voices in my head, I decided that they were correct in their assessment. This took about 15 seconds.
Be it known that Bill Vaughn and I have actually had a civil conversation.
However this does not mean we are going to the prom together. My opinion is mine as His opinion is his. Some things we agree on and just as many we don't. But the constant sniping that has taken place over the past months is done.
This is not an apology for my opinion nor my lousy attitude. It is a statement to the readers of this rag in hopes that some will return and bring some friends with them.

What's on the Menu, CHOP
CHOP Cruise Night(CHOP=Cumberland House Of Pizza) was to say the least, well worth the drive south. The menu was diverse and ordering a large Steak and Cheese sub was a mistake, it was all steak and cheese with a way to small sub roll. Just the way they ought to be. The wife had pizza and I did manage to pilfer a piece or 2 and it was as good as any local pizza. On a Scale of 1 to 10, it was a 9 easily.
The turn out I was told was just a little off as the weather did shake its fist at us for awhile, it was bluffing this time.
Saw a few faces that I hadn't seen in awhile and talked with few people I hadn't talked to in awhile. Made some plans for the following few weekends and upcoming events. Also took some advice and listen to some suggestions.
All in All a good Cruise.
But I could see where it would get crowded if the weather didn't threaten. If your going, get there early.

Calendar
When one begins to think too highly of themselves they usually overlook the obvious. We all know he no longer listens to anyone but the voices in his head. He definitely doesn't answer my queries any more. But then again I haven't said a word to him since before the Naples Show.
Knowing this, it gives me great pleasure to let everybody know that there is a car show in the general area of his home turf. In fact its only 25 or so miles from his home turf, at the Acton Fairgrounds. With 25 Classes and trophies, it is in fact a show, although I have no details on what the class choices are or how the trophies are awarded (Participant Vote or Judged), I can tell you there is also a swap meet and vendors of food and merriment on site.
If at times people would open there eyes to more information sources they would not be satisfied with misinformation or a lack of information. Here is what I know with some contact info.
Registration: 7:00am-11:00am
Car Corral, swap meet
Food, vendors, 50/50
Show cars FREE at all events
Trophies
25 classes
Music, food
Ed Miller @ (207) 755-9583
It may be that newer cars aren't allowed at this show and he doesn't feel the need to inform all his followers. Oh well his loss. Also could someone tell him that not just the food was bad at the Kora Show.
Send out the word that there is another source of info at http://roadscholars.webs.com/ and they may find out about Boothbay Railway Village on the same weekend and thats a way different show than usual.
If the weather holds maybe CHOP tomorrow.
ps By saying he overlooked the obvious, its listed in his calendar. and he must have missed it.

Hora at Kora
Kora Shrine Temple Car Show and Fly-In at Twitchell's Airport, Turner Maine. Great Organization, Great Weather, Great Venue and it could be the replacement to the once Great Bonney Eagle if the Shriners would let people who know how to run a car show run it.
It has been 3 years since my tired ass has graced the Kora Temple Car Show. 2 of those years were spent at the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton, New Brunswick (now thats a car show). Last year was spent in Biddeford with Maine Coastal Cruisers Super Cruise Weekend then to Augusta to the Toy Run.
At the first Kora Show I was chosen to be a judge, much to the chagrin of myself and a few others. During the 2nd Show, they screwed up the trophies so bad they had to feed us at the Temple and give us the pitch before giving out trophies. So I knew how bad it could get and had been.
The Shriners organization is a Class act and should not be held accountable for what has transpired in the past or present. Kora Temple is one of the oldest of it Chapters and it also should not be held accountable but it will be, because of the way they do things.
The Chairman of the Car Show should be directly judged as incompetent. He is responsible for finding the Judges that have been used this year and in past years. The Judges names should be posted in a conspicuous place for all to see and remembered, that they shall never be allowed to judge a pile of dog shit let alone a car show.
As witnessed by many and as his side of the story was told to me (by him) over the phone after the show. A top contender at any show, be it a participant vote or judged show was completely overlooked for trophy contention. Not just this year but last year also as verified by others that were asked.
When the judges were asked if that class had been completed, they replied that it had been. When asked by the contestant why his car had not been looked at by the judge, he was told that, "if I had to look at all the cars, I'd be here all night."
ISN'T THAT HIS JOB!!! He is supposed to look at all the car that He needs to judge or maybe he thought he was Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder.
Until Kora realizes that fewer patrons at there car show means fewer shekels in their coffers, then this will continue as common practice. Tell them to fix it. It ain't about the entry fee or the $15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy, its about doing the right thing.
Judging a Car Show is a task that I am not willing to partake of ever again. It is a great responsibility that few can perform correctly. Evidently the Chairman of the Show couldn't find his ass with both hands and a compass. We all know he can't find good people to be judges.
The above contestant will never be a patron of this show again. The above contestant probably will refrain from many future shows, thats how pissed off at the system he is.
Then again maybe he'd come back if the Judges were chosen from the Monkey act at Kora Shrine Circus. He probably wouldn't get a trophy, But we all would have fun watching them judge.
Added 7/13/09
The Show itself was good with close to 300 cars on the field and although it looked to be a bad day in the wee hours of the AM it turned out super and warm. Seeing old friends in the sun is much better than seeing them in the rain. Bad Image sorry.
Just as we had thought, ( I don't predict) the trophy hunters were at Ossipee for there weekly fix of Cheap Ass Trophies and to tell the you truth we really didn't notice them missing until trophy time.
All in All a good Show, but Judge choosing, DJ selection, Food Quantity-Quality-Pricing all really need some overhaul or rebuilding. If the Shriners don't see the light soon this show is going in the shitter.

At This Moment
At times I don't sleep. I've been that way for years. When I don't sleep I write shit down and then throw it away, as it is mostly drivel.
Lately I have been writing on this Blog. Again mostly drivel, but with a rage against another that at times is a little over the top. This is because people need to be aware that there is more than one opinion available and they need to know that agreeing with just one view is worse than being blind. In the words of Flip Wilson in the character of "Geraldine", "The truth will set you free".
I agree with alot of other opinions and will rage against any and all that seem to be close minded and do not allow others to state their opinions as an opposing view. We need to see both sides of the story.
Any and all comments but one have been posted, including the one that came close to insulting a friend who has stated very clearly to me that he is not now nor has he ever been a bullshit artist. The one comment I did not post contained profanity that was deemed inappropriate.
I will continue my endeavor to state my opinions as clearly as possible and may tone it down in the future, if only to gain more readers. I do want more readers.
My running battles with certain other Blogs are turning into skirmishes and I can see an end to the war. For the sake of conversation we will call it a draw.
I'll be at the Kora Show, so come talk to me. Tell me your opinion on the show or on the blog. Unlike some, I listen.

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
The old post of this title has been deleted due to a uncontrolable urge to yell from the roof tops that someone is so full of shit I can smell it from here.
As to the debate whether to go to the Ossipee Valley Fair or Kora Temples Show it will be left up to the individuals involved. Be thankful that someone at sometime made the choice to piss him off, that way we won't have to put up with his crap, if you have chosen to go to Kora.
Besides the fact that anyone that full off shit needs to go where they have Livestock. That way he too can feel that he's amongst friends and not be annoyed by his own stench.
Or if we get real lucky maybe it will be this cold the rest of the Summer and he'll move to a warmer climate. Like Costa Rica.

I Read It, I Laughed and Now...
Oh yes, I read his entry on why he won't promote this that or the other, because of bigotry and prejudice, tears from his daughter and unfairness Blah Blah Blah. Yet doesn't he display the same prejudice and bigotry by not promoting the show in a fair manner.
How many of us have been overlooked for an award or trophy because we are who we are or we are from some distant locale? How many shows do we go to that mostly locals win at? I remember a show years ago in Dixfield when I got beat by some car that smelled of goat and looked like shit and yes the owner was a local.
I still go to shows, I wasn't traumatized by it. Pissed yes, Traumatized no.
As far as making someone cry, not the best thing to do but, she needs to grow up. Life sucks and you need to get used to it. It probably would raise my ire, but in all likelihood would raise my Irish and then firearms would come into play. Any day is a good day for fully loaded firearms and slow moving targets.
He seems to be avoiding certain aspects of the Car Show Scene as many more people realize he's full of shit. Or if you can imagine this image, a dog chasing its tail, first in one direction, then another.
Much like the constant contradictions of his opinions.
I'm not saying that the drivel I write is any better or my opinion any less 1 sided but at least I admit it.

Shriner's vs Ossipee
Shriner's is in Turner, Ossipee Valley is ?. So the reason I want not to support the Shriner's is what, Fair Food. Had that last week. Distance is a non-factor as I went to Milo, didn't flinch. Went to Bath then on to Bar Harbor for the remainder, not a twitch.
Anybody who would not support the Shriner's and the Crippled Children's Hospital or the Burn Centers and the hundreds of people they have helped should be Tarred and Feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. Besides Fair Food can give you the shits.
Now that that has been said. Lets tear up some more turf and let fly with more sod.
What is going on with the "Best of the Best" Cheap Ass Trophies that what's his name is doing. Anybody remind him that he hasn't been to a show in like forever. Like it really bothers me that I have been left to fend for myself, without his tired excuses and finger pointing. Or maybe he thinks the rain might warp his home made Surf Board. If he were smart he could of made a fortune in renting it out at some of the shows. More Poly here please.
That felt good, so here is some more. Seen in Bath was his trusty sidekick and his sweetheart of a wife, from the Standish area and not him. Guess it was to far for him or to much of a bother, or perhaps it held no Special Interest for him .
As you can see there is no paid advertisements for this blog. I do this as a public service to those that have been blinded by the supreme being and really need a reality check. All done free of charge because I like you.
Now as I walk out in the rain for the last time today, I realize that I enjoy doing this and I am glad I'm able too.

Bath
Front Street in Bath is a typical small Downtown area in a Typical Small Coastal town. Only on the 5th it was closed to nothing but a great cross section of show cars and trucks. With a name like "The Front Street Shuffle" how could they miss.
It had all the great things that would make your day. Fair Food that was almost exceptional, great weather, Smokey's Greater Shows and all it slimey glory and did I say Fair Food. Front Street itself provides some great shops and eats as well.
Those that missed it did just that, missed it.
Maybe you should work on that for next year.

Here it the 3rd of July and my backyard is a swamp. My front yard has water buffalo doing things in the mud that only god should see. Muskrats are looking over the deck as a new home and a duck is looking at the dog with lust in its eyes. Other than that the pontoons are almost ready to install on the Car.
The 4th is a day away and everybody seems content to sit back eat their fill of "Brats" and drink their fill of beer and belch. But when did we decide that was all the 4th was, with a flourish of explosive escapades at the end of the day. When did discontinuing the practice of telling all, that in 1776 a group of malcontents and non-conformists signed their own death sentence for the greater good of the American People.
Are we not the same as these men and women were. Are we not the non-conformists that thumb their respective noses at those that would have us drive the corporate logo of their choosing. Are we not of the same ilk as those that cursed the King and in return were hunted down and done away with.
We the People are the Car Buffs. We are the Best of the Best. We are the true believers in the rights set forth by the founding Fathers and We are willing to get up and say to those that would hinder our pursuit of happiness, Fuck Off.
We are what we are and it is our true belief that driving our cars is a form of freedom few shall ever know. I Am proud of who I am and I am proud to know all that read this, are the True Believers. For We only go this way once and I prefer to do it sideways at full throttle.
HAPPY 4TH to all the Believers
