WHILE YOU WERE OUT
Not withstanding the election, much fun was had (some chronicled in the previous movie post). Was back in Los Angeles to interview Gale Banks for an upcoming epic feature in Garage Magazine. Afterwards we scooted over to Burbank for an apres-SEMA tour of Jay Leno's sprawling garage, where we were joined by Mister Jalopy, Bobby Green, and the lovely Ruth Waytz (a/k/a Mrs. Coop). Coop sent his regrets, having a prior commitment racing in Mexico's Carrera Panamericana (scroll and scroll and scroll for the amazing story).
Took a couple bazillion photos of Mr. Leno's joint, none of which I can share; he requested that we refrain from posting because of copyright issues. But he didn't say anything about posting illustrations! Here's how it went down.

Operation Mag-Neato has spread beyond the confines of mere Humvees and ammunition lockers. Beware, evildoers! Feast your eyes on Team Dumb and the latest arrow in the quiver of Democracy: The A-1 Abrams Banana Hammock!
Many more pics of this beast over at Doc Lee's place. Doc is a bit busy now, pacifying unruly cads in the desert, but I know he always enjoys your magnetic shows of support. If you want to participate in this important effort, get your weirdest fridge magnets to:

HEAP OF THE WEEK, PLUS A THOUGHTFUL XMAS GIFT IDEA FOR ME
Do you want me blog more? Less? Not at all? Go over to eBay right now and buy me this heap, and your wish will be my command: hourly posts on topics of your choice, immediate abandonment and erasure of the entire site, light janitorial and yardwork if you so desire. Hell, I'll even wear a sheer-but-tasteful negligee while raking, if that's your bag.
Seriously. If you're the type of well-heeled business sugar daddy or sugar momma who is thinking, "sounds good for Dave... but what's in it for me?" I will throw in the additional offer of painting your sponsorship logo on the side. Imagine the pride of your organization and its employees when they see me piloting their Christmas bonuses down the Bonneville salt in August!
HAWKEYE HOOSEGOW HONEY OF THE WEEK
Lastly but not leastly, we have a very worthy nominee from the docket of Des Moines' Polk County Court, courtesy the vigilance of reader Nate Whited: the fetching April.
This 5'2" 23-year old gamine with the million dollar smile was recently released on $1950 bond after a few vehicular-related charges including revoked license, striking an unattended vehicle and no insurance. It's sad that someone this cute would get called on such ticky-tack alleged fouls, but hey - Geico's loss is our gain. Congrats, April! And let me remind the rest of you: all Hoosegow Honeys are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law!
