Since he neglects capitalization and proper punctuation, maybe we could throw in a couple other words too.
Don't let that stone you throw fall out of your fist and bomp you on the head!

Bob Frey kept calling the AC Delco vision Motel six vision...let's fire him!
considering I catch myself calling it a Winston vision, I guess Frey's misstep can stay.
Don't feel bad, I will always call it Winston Vision no matter whos name is on it. Old habits die hard, or in my case not at all.
And there's extra credit if you can pronounce Kurt's name correctly on the first try
Kurts name sounds just like it looks. Always has been that way.

Lol you guys who live in america and have grown up with drag racing dont realise how much you take it for granted . At least people are actually trying to cover the sport . Here in New Zealand I have to have satelite tv to get espn to watch the NHRA drags , and it doesnt get aired until a couple of days (it used to be a couple of weeks) after the race happens over there so I wind up knowing whats going to happen before even watching it .
I am sorry if that sounds harsh but I just notice it in posts like this or in other posts where teams get there budget cut and cant race so people complain and say that blah blah should be doing this or that . You guys really take it for granted .

What he said.
I've grown used to him I guess. Kinda like that Uncle that everyone knows tries hard but is just out of his league and has no clue. Be polite and kinda listen waiting for someone else(Dunn, Reid, Bloom, Gerry, someone holding a sign, anybody) to say something worth hearing. Luckily the rest of the cast is good enough to carry him. It does seem that he does like the sport, which is a huge plus, and something I didn't think he had when he started. But liking it and being able to be the spokesperson for it is a giant step.

Decided to change my avatar too, and then I read Tim Charlet's post and see Mike Minick had the same idea.

OK, you two... But I bet both of you have to spell it for the average phone reservation agent
That's never my problem, my problem is that there are six reservations for me, and none of them are the right one...

Try growing up a Jones and ordering a pizza....or saying your name for anything. They NEVER believe you!
Imagine Rhonda hartman trying to check into a hotel as Mr & Mrs John Smith

Yep....and my Dad's name is Tom Jones....Tommy Lee Jones to be exact. He doesn't even think it's funny anymore. I guess it does get old after 70 years. Well, Tommy Lee Jones may be a tad younger, but could you imagine being Tom Jones in the 70's? Yikes!
OMG! I just had Office Space flashbacks of Michael Bolton!

Knew a man (A good friend, thus, I knew what he went through.) named "Charlie Brown." Exactly like that on the birth certificate. No middle name, no "Charles," nothing. "Charlie Brown." (Yep. His mom was a huge Peanuts fan.) You've never seen a guy have more "Prove to me you're really who you say you are!" problems in your life.
On his honeymoon in the SE portion of the nation in the summer of 1972, they were denied rooms at many hotels, even when he produced their brand new marriage certificate. They all (motel managers.) assumed he was a fake, and was trying to "live in sin." (They told him this.)
It was a shame, because he was one of the nicest, most honest guys you've ever met in your life.
I speak in past tense, because he passed away about 2 years ago. I still mourn his passing.

That's easy... looks like Leinenkugel sounds like line-n-coo-gal.
I'll just take a shot of that Asombroso please.

....or a Smith and trying to reserve a racquetball court in college with your partner whose name is "Jones".
"Ummmm... RIGHT.... Can I have your student ID number please?"
