Heh.  In a lot of the Northeast, Drakkar is considered a 'black cologne'.  Hugo Boss was the big 'Jersey guido' cologne.  I don't remember the rest of that schtick, though.

Justin.tv . . . would take more time to look at than I have at the moment.  :trance:

The Dakar rally is now held in Argentina? That's no fun. Even with all the drugs.

We already done that bit.

Northern Africa is, um, politically unstable.  I do think they should've just suspended the PtD and come up with a new name for what's really (let's face it) a new race.

No, wait, I need to beat this horse a bit deader. WHY DID THEY KEEP THE NAME?!?!

I think a Santiago - Mendoza Rally would be great. I mean, you can't fucking call it the Paris-Dakar rally if you're not going to PARIS or DAKAR now are youj?>!?!?1 *fpffft*

Actually, if there's a Dakar somewhere in the States they should just make it a Gumball rally from Paris, Texas to Dakar, Idaho or whatever.

Bet there is one.

... to the Gazetteer!

Edit: There is a Dakar St. in FORT WORTH. Postie, I think we have a mission for you. PARIS-DAKAR RALLY.

YESSSSSSSS

It's no longer called the Paris-Dakar. It's just called 'Dakar'. I think they have a dream of moving it back to Africa if West Africa ever stabilised, but going forward they're keeping it in South America for security reasons.

They could advertise it using the McBain clip where he yells MENDOZAAAAA!

An off-road rally across Texas is such an obviously correct thing to do that I'm amazed there isn't a world-famous one already.  You've seen the mostly-psycho-pickup-truck Baja Rally?  Put gun racks on those bastards and you're READY, MAN. 

Texas surrendering to Mexico yet again . . . .   :harumph:  :P

Well I know that. It's just not very ... accurate, now, is it.

haha, awesome. Well, they have run some SCCA rally events here at the old army base, but with Jerry and Cubes nearby running Dallas, anything is possible. (Very fortunate to have local sports owners who, even if you don't care for their methodology or whatever, you can't question their desire to have a team that actually wins. Now if Mr. Hunt's sons would back off, we might have something on the pitch too. It's like a reverse Bill Wirtz. I appreciate everything Uncle Lamar did for American football of both kinds though, and was glad to have the chance to hang out with him and tell him so before he died)

Wait where was I? Yeah, something offroad out there in the vast emptiness of West Texas would be doable. From here to Funkytown, everything's either fenced off or strip malled. (That's what they tore the "old" Texas Stadium down for, an outlet mall. wooo.) Although, a Gumball-type rally through some of the more winding farm-to-market roads around here would certainly be a lot of fun...

I'm just saying -- oil-burning, engine-screaming, 600 HP, 150 MPH monster pickup trucks racing whether there are goddamned roads or not . . . that kind of screams Texas.

There's something of the exotic in the WRC. I doubt they'd move the Dakar to Texas for that reason.

Competition is good.  Start a new league.

Tch!  I can see I'll have to become a Kentucky Colonel and do everything myself!

There's a lulzy irony to that.
