OPERATION MAG-NEATO
Just a quick reminder to all members of the Legion of Dumb and others interested in absurd, yet deeply patriotic, gestures: Iowahawk pal Doc Lee of Blatheration is currently in Iraq and wants to festoon his humvee with your fridge magnets. Prizes are reportedly involved for the best magnet.
Do your duty, citizen! Imagine your heart swelling with patriotic pride when you see the mighty Humvee of Dumb, with your magnet affixed, resting atop a Zarkman wheel chock.

...and 2000 rounds of 30 caliber fully automatic ammo. Is it just me, or does that little girl look like Gnat Lileks?
REQUIEM IN PACE
Desmond Dekker, Clifford Antone, Alex Toth. Three originals who will be missed.
THE HOUSE RECOMMENDS
Got a nice letter recently from Mike over at the Hot Rod Company in Madison, Wisconsin, which now joins the Hot Rod links section on the right sidebar. Give 'em a visit and sample their fine assortment of hot rod accoutrements, and tell 'em Dave sent you.
Religious experience: watching vintage gasser drags at Union Grove Raceway. My paisano RB from Cratedigger was there, and has the pics.
New blogroll additions: the snarky and entertaining chicks at Tinkerty Tonk and Agent Bedhead (with a guest blogger assist from Beautiful Atrocities). And from exotic Bankok, voice whiz Karradine's Brain Surgery With Spoons. Search around and you might find a few audio versions of recent iowahawk junk. Thanks, Kerry!
BATTLE OF THE HOOSEGOW HONEYS
Fellow Iowan State 29 has been rummaging through the Des Moines online police blotter, and has laid down the gauntlet with a challenger for title of Hoosegow Honey. Well, when it comes to appreciation of Iowa's alleged criminalettes, I refuse to to be upstaged. So I answer his gambit thusly:
Behold, the delightfully defiant Miss Brandi. While this 19-year old simmering vision in orange might lack the impressive bond statistics of State 29's candidate, you can't beat the charges: two counts of Fugitive From Justice!
While 29 and I duke it out over Iowa's reigning cage queen, old friend N.H. of Sausalito, CA sends a related link profiling the lovely Miss Caroline Goncalves, official beauty queen of the Brazilian penal system:
