It's none other than the RACING WITH JESUS DODGE! Yes, friends-ah number eighty-nine-ah dodge-ah will be in victory lane-ah all season long-ah! Please, place your hands on the screen with me right now and just, just pray with me now.

I annoint you, Morgan shepherd, with the power of the holy ghost-ah, you will be victorious-ah in all your races this year. Let each race be a test of your faith-ah by placing a blindfold upon your eyes-ah, and you let the LORD-sh guide you around the track-ah. Remember, all of Jesusland is behind you-ah. In Jesus' holy, blessed name we pray, Amen.

In other news: NASCAR to allow hard liquor sponsors on their cars In MY opinion, if ever there was something to get upight about on TV, this would be it. That is to say, in a sport where you are DRIVING, to be advertising ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, not just beer, mind you, but HARD LIQUOR, on the cars. then again, I suppose there shouldn't be "Degrees" of "wrongness" so to speak...if you're going to allow beer, why not hard liquor. Oh well. Enjoy the dipshittery.

If only we could get a race driver that was sponsored by both Jesus and Jack Daniels. Then we could adorn the hood with Buddy Christ raising a glass of Jack on the rocks. That would be the fucking balls.

It would screw with the downdraft.

So when the racers are done racing they are always handed their sponsors drink so they can be seen drinking it...will this still remain true if their sponsor for instance is Jack Daniels? Mmmm, nothing hydrates the body after a long hard race like a glass of smooth smooth Jack!

Didn't they advertise "The Passion" on a car in NASCAR? I say that was brilliant, talk about getting the target audience.

From what I've heard, Morgan's basically just a nice ol' guy. Heck, he's easily the oldest NASCAR driver left, and he's always been a bit eccentric.

I wanna see a Driving with Krishna car, though.

No. When he gets cut off, he turns the other bumper.

Yes, though oddly enough, her thong bikini goes all the way down to her ankles.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I don't care if it rains or freezes
's long as I've got my Plastic Jesus
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far.

I don't care if it's dark or scary,
Long as I have magnetic Mary,
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car,
I feel I'm protected amply,
I've got the whole damn Holy Family,
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell,
Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary,
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell.

I don't care if it bumps or jostles
Long as I got the Twelve Apostles
Bolted to the dashboard of my car
Don't I have a pious mess
Such a crowd of holiness
Strung across the dashboard of my car

No, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus,
Riding on the dashboard of my car,
But I think he'll have to go,
His magnet ruins my radio,
And if we have a wreck he'll leave a scar.
