We had so many entries to our contest, that we couldn't (wouldn't) pick the best one. So we narrowed it down to the top 5, and let our loyal listeners choose. It was a very tight competition, and we suspect Tez took full advantage of our lax voting rules. ( I guess stuffing the ballot happens in more places than just Illinois...)
With Tez's winning entry, "Luggles", he will be receiving a free "Lugnuts" t-shirt...... just as soon as we can figure out how to get one to New Zealand. I've contacted Barry Bonds.... and he's gonna stuff one in a mayonaise jar, and throw it in the San Fransisco bay.... so it should be there in a couple of years......
The Lugnuts crew would like to thank the rest of the top 5:
We're the Lugnuts, a Nascar radio show from fans. We talk about each weeks events and news stories from a fans point of view. And we need your help!
The show is live every Sunday night at 10pm. (EST) You can call in and chat with us about.... well..... whatever. You can visit our website at Lugnutsonline.com and name the ####, send us ideas for the show, or just tell us that we suck.
You can go there, catch the lastest Nascar news, check out a few photos, read some new jokes, or meet some new Nascar friends and chat 24/7 .
So.... back to the stupid ####. The crew (Steve, Dan, Estee, and yours truly) will judge the contest based on.... well.... content and humor. The winner will receive a FREE T-Shirt from our exclusive Lugnuts store!
Go ahead!! Click on the link above, and enter as many names as you like, as many times as you want to! Or, just leave them here, and I'll see that they get to the proper place (...a shoebox under my son's bed...)
That’s a right race fan! We are up and running! Every Sunday
night at 10pm (EST)
The premise of the show is simple, Nascar fans, discussing
all things Nascar. We’ll try to cover each week’s events, news stories, and
rumors, with an irreverent sense of humor.
But, we NEED you!
We want to know what your thinking. How do you feel on qualifying? What’s your
take on the COT? Where should there be changes? But most of all… Why do you
LOVE the sport!
While you’re there, you can meet the crew! Participate in
our weekly POLL, and poll discussion. Email us with topics for the show.
Purchase some “Lugnuts” gear (all proceeds will go to “VictoryJunction Camp”).
Even listen to some of the archives.
Better yet…. Call in to the show live! We’d love to hear
from ya!!
I’ll be the first
to admit it. I’ve had some awful things to say about Mr. Phil Mickelson. I’ve
questioned his golf skills. I’ve questioned his decision-making processes. I’ve
commented on his testicular fortitude. I’ve even made jokes about his physique.
I shouldn’t have done that.
I was wrong, and I’m sorry.
Conrad Dobler is a
ten-year veteran of the NFL. He had
played for the St. Louis Cardinals, N.O. Saints, and the Buff. Bills. It had
been opined that he was the “Dirtiest player in football”, but no one could
argue that he was a good, solid offensive lineman. He made ProBowl appearances
in ‘75, ’76, and ’77. But his career had taken its toll on his body, and he is
now 90% disabled. He walks with a cane, and is about to undergo his third knee
replacement on the same knee. He is married to Joy. At a family cookout in
2001, she fell out of a hammock and injured her spine. She is now a
quadriplegic, and hopes have stem-cell surgery outside the country, in the next
18 months.
After seeing an
expose aired on ESPN, Mr. Mickelson, (not Phil, not Lefty, but Mr. Mickelson.)
saw an opportunity to help. Without any fan fare, without any publicity, (His
lawyer even tried toSTOP an article on the subject in “Golf World”.) and having never met them, he has
been paying for the Dobler’s daughter to attend college. Holli Dobler has just
completed her sophomore year at the University of Miami (Ohio) and has a grade
point average between 3.6 and 3.8. She appears to making the most of this gift,
and considers Mr. Mickelson her “Angel without wings.”
For The Record: Next years tuition… $24,000
Mr. Mickelson is
currently second on both the World Golf rankings, and the PGA money list.
He has 31 wins on
the PGA Tour, and 3 Major Titles. (2 Masters, 1 PGA)
These are huge
accomplishments, and should not be taken lightly. He has EARNED my respect, both
on and OFF the golf course.
Mr. Mickelson,
I Pray…. that you, your wife Amy, children Amanda, Sophia,
and Evan, (in fact, all your family and loved ones) are happy, healthy, and
comfortable.
I Pray…. That you receive all the blessings, a man with your
heart and talent deserves.
Yes!!! This is it!!! This is bigger than any sports story that has, or will come out in this, or any other year.
Are you ready??
Carmen Electra, "Former Baywatch babe, and Playboy playmate" is forming the Naked Womens Wrestling League. (or the N W W L, but that's really hard to pronounce, especially after a couple of Bloody NyZymas...) Now, don't jump to the conclusion that this will be some cheesy ripoff. " If you're tired of bulky men in briefs, then get ready for the NWWL." Electra said. "Wrestling doesn't get any sexier than this." The press release went on to say, "Please note this is not oil or mud wrestling. This is the same high-impact, body-slamming action that can be found in the worlds leading professional wrestling rings, except the NWWL. all the wrestlers are women, and each athlete perfoms completely naked." (Well........ duh.....)
Now, I hear you asking..... "Chux?? Why is this The Most Important Sports news EVER?? How does this even warrant more than a passing nod??"
To that I say.."You ask too many dad-gum questions!!! Shut up a minute, and I'll get to that part.... kids today.... no damn patience....".
My Take: I'm getting just a little worried about stuff like this. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of nekkid women... and to have a couple of "Carmen Electra" types rollin' around, all sweaty. in a big ball..... well....... that just sounds like great entertainment for a Sat. Nite...( After the kids go to bed, and iffn the ol' lady says I can, of course...) So.... I'm not against this one endeavor, in particular.... I'm just thinking about our society on a whole...
There have been many civilizations come, and go since man-kind has inhabited this rock. The Atlantian's, the Mayan's, the Aztec's, the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians......... and for the sake of our discussion... the Roman's.
Seems to me, that the Caesars of Rome were into this kind of stuff too, and we know what became of them. They had their Gladiators, ( can anyone say... WWF or UFC.....?) and they had their Orgies (Orgy's???)
Have we just blended these two together??????? What would Nero, or Augustus think of this?? I think I know what Caligula would say......( YEAH BABY!!!..... with a british accent, just like Austin Powers...)
I know that singularly, I'm a depraved and imperfect human, but has all of mankind become as perverted as I am? Are we in fact witnessing the Fall of Western Civilization as we know it???
I'm not sure..... but it's something to thunk about............
As always.... that's my story...
You may now return to your regularly scheduled lives...........
My goal is to live forever. So far...so good..
I play Rec. league softball, Poker and Golf. I watch MLB (Mets) NFL (Cowboys) and NASCAR (J. Gordon). I can't think in numbers, so STATS are meaningless to me.
Indecision may or may not be my problem...... .
