kevin harvick's a pompous arse, so it's not like i wanted him to win, but did you see that finish?! man. textbook, i tell ya!

so the other day we were at o'reilly's which in case you don't know is not a pub but rather an auto parts store. we were not looking for an auto part, but in case you don't know, these places carry more than parts. they are simply called "auto parts" stores because that's easier than calling them "auto parts and accessories and doodads and cleaning stuff and keychains and other shizzle" stores.

we were looking for something to take the tar off the new truck before we installed the geniune factory mud flaps that we got from the body shop guy who has connections to the geniune factory. of course, our truck's a nissan, not a geniune, so i am not sure if these are the correct thing.

right.

so we were looking for something to take off the tar, and there are several selections. some of them purport to remove bugs and tar, but some only do bug removal so you have to read all the labels. then, there are pre-wash formulas and post-wash. finally, there are aerosol and pump. i choose my auto cleaning products the same way i choose my wine - by the funnest label - so, i was wanting this one kind that i liked the name. my old man was all - okay we'll ask the guy at the counter which is best. so we axt and guess what? the one i liked is in fact the best!

THE TARMINATOR!

no, i was not walking around the store going "THE TARMINATOR!" over and over again and waving around things like the magic magnetic wand thingie that you can use to pick up screws that fall on the garage floor. (or, like paperclips at work. you know?) but of course i was not doing that! jeez. why would you even think that? what about me says "act the fool"? do you think i am completely ridiculous? of course i did not do that. i had to be satisfied with thinking about it in my head, because you can only get away with that stuff up to about age 6 and i don't want to be left in the car then next time we go to the "auto parts and accessories and doodads and cleaning stuff and keychains and other shizzle" store.
