    Spray-on fake mud for SUVs and PUs

    I like how in the picture on the website they are showing the license plate partially obscured. Besides it looks fake anyways almost like spraypaint.

    Memorable Encounters with Famous Figures: A Personal Reflection

    Met Hunter Thompson in Big Sur during a party back in the mid-70s. He talks and acts just like he writes. Got into a long and interesting conversation about hand gun modifications. Was sorry to see him pass not long back.

    Best Scams: Tales from the Dark Side

    An ad in the paper: "This is your last chance to send $1 to (PO box)." The guy who placed the ad made over a thousand bucks before the Feds made him remove the ads.

    Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Reviewed - Bad -Real bad.

    I read where Douglas Adams wanted to make the movie back in the eighties with Michael Nesmith of the Monkees. Too bad he never got to make it himself, it probably would have been worth seeing.

    Can Jump-Starting a Cat with a Lamp Cord Turn You into a Hero?

I'm not really scientific though I did use a stripped down lamp cord to jump start my girlfriend's cat's heart when it passed out, don't know if that counts since it was pure instinct but now she thinks I'm a hero and the cat doesn't...
