Commence Trash-Talk

Wow - only a month 'till the IPRR 2008! hard to imagine, really.

It's been a year of prolific change, all filed squarely in the "kick-ass" column, and Petra and I are looking forward to flying back from our new home in San Francisco for the festivities!

Changes are afoot though, for Team Popped Biscuits.

We have a new plan. A new vehicle with two more cylinders. A few new team members, and most importantly, renewed motivations.

Regarding the team: one of the strategic augmentations this year is someone whom I dub "The Scientist". He has lightning fast mental reflexes, bears striking resemblance to Emilio Estevez, and is quite accustomed to dealing with the child brain and all its inherent dysfunction.

On a down note, I'd like to inform you that Domino Dalmatian aka "The Spotted Bitch", our team mascot, passed away just over a month ago, but she'll be joining us in other ways. We will be fighting for victory in honor of her - that's what under-dogs do.

And, in other news: Team Popped Biscuits has spawned another team! We trained her, and what thanks do we get? That's right - defection!!! The nerve, I tell ya. Katie will be joining my lovely better-half, Petra as they form a new team, hell-bent on knocking the very entity that brought the road rally to them, out of contention.

Rumor has it that they will be going by the team name "The Bacon Bit-ches". "Bac-Ho's" has also been detected in the chatter.
This rumor has yet to be dispelled, and we have very, very reliable sources on the inside.

OK- that's all for now, from San Francisco. More news at 11:00.

As your lovely better half has pointed out we are neither bacon, bitches, or hos and there for will not be referred to by any combination of those words. The people that matter have been made aware of our team name and that is all that matters.

As for leaving Popped Biscuits, I do owe much to you and Joseph for the many lessons you have taught me over the past two years...the basic theme has been you have taught me how to NOT win the Road Rally. I can now take this information and with my new partner in crime and go forth and bring home the plaque o green.

Don't you mean: "bring home the bacon"?

you might want to get your own though: to think we might share said bacon would be a tragic, tragic mistake.

We've got all the bacon we need, and then some, plus a whole lot of charm that will take us farther than what Popped Biscuits has become: namely, 5 guys in a minivan

Good point Petra! There is nothing sadder than 5 'men" in a mini van for any extended period of time...

wow.. such hostility.

The minivan is tangible proof of our sensitive side - and will effectively put at ease anybody we choose to accost..

sensitive side? I mini van coming up to me with 5 guys in it is my cue to turn around and run away before I wind up in a ditch somewhere. And having Joe really doesn't do much for your imagine as being safe

Good luck with that.

Greg you can come up with every possible way to make 5 guys in a mini van sound "appealing"but the face remains you are still 5 guys in a mini van.
And really is Ed McMahon the best you can do? just shows the sad state of affairs Popped Biscuits is in.

Well, Ed McMahon was the original Prize Patrol Extraordinaire, you know - why deal with impostors when we can go right to the source?

While McMahon might have been the man back in the day, his credibility has somewhat suffered in recent months. Actually, he is the perfect mascot for Popped Biscuits: old, wash-up has been....

Had been? One thing we've never been accused of being are has-beens... Don't you have to win to fall from grace? I believe those honors went to Team Akina Speed Stars last year, no?

Yeah, A.S.S. lost last year: hence the honors of falling from grace going to them... last year...

I don't know, I have carefully read all of your comments katie, and truly, I am concerned about your continued fear and overall trepidation of 5 guys in a 'van' - anything particular about your past that warrants such anxiety about 'guys in a van' that we should know about???

It was a long time ago and I don't like to talk about it. I was young and needed the crack money...
