Gored Ham

As in being gored by a bull. It felt like it.

Before I go off on my tirade of the day, word has it that the Clinton Car Show was Ok. I was told that although the voting system is a little funky they really tried to get people settled in and get the show over with by 2pm. Pat on the Back for that and lets see if a different voting system can be found for next year. If so a closer look may be needed.

Many people know never to poke an animal with a stick. They usually turn on you, biting you on the Ass as you run away.

Poking a lion would probably be detrimental to your well being and Obama Care would not pick up the tab. However the Gorham Lions should be beaten, like an old rug until they figure out how to hold a show. 5 years of experience should run better and have better results.

Finding the venue was not an issue for a first timer as I followed the guy with no vowels in his last name, Grbzy or some combination of Greek. Space was available in my class but only if another class showed up tomorrow. So off to La La Land we went with Dorothy and Toto. So be it.

Back to Sap World for registration and that shit is going to come out your hair easy. Not likely.

Things went better as I walked around and saw people and cars from that part of the state that we don't normally see. Before long the day was clipping along at a pace of a good car show. The Poachers were as apparent as the nose on your face. Someone tell Do Da that thing he built is a street rod.

Awards needed a faster pace as the MC finally figured out that 90% of the people in attendance weren't from there and could give a rats ass about local happenings, gossip and the inside jokes.
The trophies were definitely a step down in price range and it looked like the return of the $ 15.00 Cheap Ass Trophy. They say the economy is better, I'd like to know where they were looking.

Most of the usual suspects got trophies, with a few newcomers coming to the first place stand. It just proved that bright work and flames go along way in upsetting the apple cart. But the thing with more gimmicks and stage props than a B movie getting Best of Show? Please. The paint had more orange peel than the State of Florida. Plastic Ivy? Like WTF.

Did I Have Fun, Sure did . Will I return, possibly, but the Zombie Apocalypse should take over the Show. They could buy the thing that Took (Sarcasm) Best of Show.

    I am a firm believer that a car at a show that receives an award,ESPECIALLY BEST OF SHOW,should be a legally registered,insured vehicle that is DRIVEN to the show and not hauled from show to show for the "cheap ass trophy." And the usual poachers were definitely present begging the lions to do split ballot next year!
