A happy thought occurred to me this afternoon while fruitlessly laboring on a final paper:

Someone should totally make a Pinewood Derby car of Philippe's new car.

The "HERE COMES A HUGE FAG" horn would, of course, be strictly optional.

Optional, yet somehow, completely NOT optional.

I will have to consider this concept.  Next Indian 500 is February.


Which is ample time to contact Rip "Caps Lock" Taylor's agent to sign him on as the Master of Ceremonies.

Philippe-Mobile w/ custom honk; "Indian 500", gratuitous use of the word "derby": YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT

So now this strip has a link, too.

"The 'Dual Wedge' car block - We did the hard part for you!"

How hard is that part, anyway?

I want to know what the 7 speed advantages in a block of wood are.

At a guess.. aerodynamics of the carving, weight of the car, low friction of the axles, something about the wheels, magnet in the front attracting it to the other magnet you've cleverly hidden at the other end of the track, banana peels on the other cars' tracks, and red flames painted on the sides to make it go faster.

It's a block of wood that claims 7 advantages prior to doing anything with it. No axles/wheels, no carving, nothing...in fact, the wedge shaped one (block of wood minus 1/3, made pointy) has 8 advantages - I assume the pointiness is the new, added advantave.
