OT - In The What The Hell Category

Now, come on!!! That has got to be a spoof. I'm sure most anybody could find a better place to sink $1500.

Only $279. There's a group of dirtbikers I know who would really enjoy this toy and its product after riding while we camp away from civilization in the Sawtooth Mountains. Of course, they'd probably want to put a hot pipe on it and run race gas.

margaritas on the beach!

I saw the samething in green offered at Cabella's store in PA. That's a lot of $$ for a margarita... :-)

These are real and not just a one-off ! Boat and camping stores carry them.

I've seen them offered in several places over the last few years. I have absolutely no need for one and can't think of any friends who would need or even want one, but I know somebody will buy them, if only to have something that none of their friends have.

I have JOAT's feelings about them myself.

Oops, sorry about that. It's the "cycleblender" option that's $1495

Anyone who has ever been to a pro football or major college tailgate party has seen these for the last couple of years.

Joe

Maybe that's why I've never heard of them. I'd definitely not waste my time in either of those activities.

JOAT had the right idea.

Nothing like a belly full of cheap tequila, the smell of over over- imbibed, puking drunks and then adding some exhaust fumes to the cigarette smoke...are WE having FIUNH yets???

And what exactly do you find so distasteful that you would "not waste my time in either of those activities"?

That is a statement that could only be made by someone wha has never been to one. Most that I have been to are family oriented and multi-generational. Many times there isn't any alchohol, and often the only difference between a tailgate party and your backyard picnic is that you're not in your back yard.

Seesh!

Dunno Tom's reasoning, but for me football games're waaay too borig. Someone once figured out there's only about 7 minutes of actual action in the average football game. The rest of the time is spend lining up, dancing in the end zone after a touchdown (as if they're the only one that's ever done that), arguing with the ref, and so on. I'm not about to pay bucks to watch some guy who gets paid millions to do al that. When I watch football I want to watch something like Australian rules football.

Football

Precisely my reasoning. Might go to the tailgate party if I didn't have to sit through the game. Might could be forced to sit through the game if I could bring a good book to keep myself occupied.

JOAT, surely we are not the only two males in these United States who don't see any attraction in American Football.

Used to watch Australian Rules Football when I could get Cable TV. Never did figure out what the Rule was.

Can't be. I figure a lot of 'em just won't admit it.

Near as I was ever able to understand the main rule was no breaking bones on purpose.

Oh yeah, good catch. I missed that one. That Harley market has more than a few conspicuous consumption types.

Make it three. My wife wouldn't miss it though.

Nope ... you're not alone.

Bill

For me, I just prefer not to be a spectator.

Playing football can be fun. Watching it?!? nah.

You don't know how tough it is to not be a sports fan in a sports town. (Pittsburgh, PA)

As for me, I agree with Hemingway's comment: "The only sports are motor racing and bullfighting - everything else is just exersize."
