Floor Jacks, was [s-cars] Robbery....LeMans Classic video

[Kirby Smith]

The Andouille sausage is perhaps intended to go with Port Royale
cheese.  :-)

Pig intenstine has been used for sausages for a long time, but generally
its washed first.

I used to hear all kinds of funny names for Craftsman and other Sears product lines from the local Athens, GA crowd.  Man....the kooks that used to come in that store!!  My favorite line was "this thang ain't worked right since day one!!!"  I finally got fed up with hearing it so I got smart and said "well, I guess you should have brought it back on day one!!"  Anyway...I'm rambling now.....

> No crepes to be had at "the Classic, but I got ahold of some Andouille sausage.  Keith bought one too.  We walk back over to the French Audi Corral and sat down to eat.  Well, Keith left his sausage untouched while he ate his fries.  I on the other hand took a big bite out of the Andouille as soon as we sat down.  I immediately thought "damn this stuff smells like horse sh1t"....then as I kept chewing I thought "oh my god it tastes like it too!!"  So with a straight face I stood up from the table with this stuff still in my mouth and very quietly walked around to the back of the tent and spit it out.  The foul taste still lingered and gag reflex was definitely kicking in....I grabbed my beer and chugged about half of it down.  Things were going to be OK.

> I told Keith that he really needed to try his sausage 'cause it was good!!  Keith put it in his mouth and bite down.  I'm starting to laugh at this point.  He must have gotten the same smell I got because he proceeded to release his teeth from the sausage leaving just his teeth marks in it.  It went straight to the trash can along side mine.  Cheesinya!!
