Do Android Rednecks Dream of Electric Monster Trucks?

Dear Diary,

I have been thinking about monster trucks a lot lately.

I also sort of want to go to a demolition derby.

If I put a Dale Earnhardt memorial sticker on my Audi, you have permission to shoot me in the face.

Dang, Boy! You're making it mighty hard for even the most dedicated commenter to come up with a comment these days :-/

Maybe you're just on your boy-period. Like craving chocolate... only with bigger axles.

After leaving the hipster-nest of Portland, OR and moving to Orange County, CA I was at a loss for something to do. My co-workers drug me kicking and screaming to the demolition derby - and I've gone every year since.

There's something really visceral about the experience. To win: the driver must pick off the other cars one at a time - smashing into them until they are completely immobilized. What more can you ask for? The whole things is a car accident that happens again and again and again. There's smoke, shouting, beer, and people from Riverside County with cutoff shirts. There is nothing like it and you have to go.

"Orange Crush" happens every July as part of the Orange County Fair. If you go to the evening show (which is always more exciting than the afternoon one) - get there early. The line starts at least an hour ahead of time.
