Amber made it to Indianapolis safely!
But will she make it out again?
:mwaha
so you've awoken Mabthulhu, will your sanity survive? :U
By the end of 48 hours their sanity will no longer exist.
They had any to start with?
*attempts to flee further north, hoping to clear the disaster area* D:
on an unrelated note, yay for safe driving!

C'mon, this is Indy. And at Indy 500 time to boot. We're talking irresistable force meets immovable object where insanity is concerned.
Good to hear!

Ooooooooh. That looks so difficult. If only there was a way to make them do Left Turns over and over again for hours...

To be honest, the *only* reason to watch nascar, is for the crashes. :D
Personally I love my provincial car races. Nothing beats modified redneck cars crashing spectacularly when someone brings a Hemi in a Honda civic :U

OKay I know the fans in the stands are hammered and stammered with or without the Buds and suds, but the driver shouldn't be drinking and ah driving. Because cars will be fly and fans will be crying for those cars will crashing and smashing their fans in the stands.

Wow... I didn't know people would actually do that! Former Mom #2 (don't ask) used to have a Civic with the bumper sticker "Yes, it's a Hemi." The reactions she got were hilarious. Now I want to see one of these actually Hemi-ed Hondas.
I was watching the news yesterday. Wow! Some Spectacular crashes there at the Indianapolis 500.

Actually, the only Hemi'ed Honda civic I know of,
kicks much arse (http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/08/video-78-honda-civic-v8-dragster.html).

Overreact much? I get that this might be a sensitive topic for you, but do you really think that posting a soapbox rant would help? Beyond that, you took some harmless fun that folks were having and equated them to personal attacks on yourself and turned this in to an unnecessary drama. Where did anyone call you a redneck? No where.

Indeed it does. That's amazing. My hat is off to the odd character who decided to do that.
Quote from: Sunny on June 02, 2010, 04:25:19 AM
Just a quick FYI: The Indy 500 isn't NASCAR. It's IZOD Indy car racing for one. For two, the racers aren't "good ole boys" from backwards areas of the country. In fact there were drivers from around 25 countries that participated. Indy racing is much more dangerous than NASCAR due to the open wheel format of the cars.
People die. Regularly. Racing those cars.
They aren't safe like Nascar's or the NHRA's. There's only so much a tiny shell can protect you as your flying through the air, hitting pavement at over 100 mph. Heck even the NHRA/Nascar cars with all their safety precautions can't stop everything.
To put it bluntly: The Turn left comments hurt me as the daughter of a drag racer who grew up watching Nascar and such. Oh wow, stereotype me as the redneck from Missouri, thanks. Imagine driving a car at around 200 mph going around a corner. Now remember those tight turns on the highway at 60-70 mph where you fear for your damn life as you turn? Yeah. Then picture cars all around you doing the same. Then picture you're taking that turn essentially on a go kart, and you've got Indy.
It wasn't a comment. It was a quote, from a comedian's act. Not offense was intended to anyone - the quote was from a NASCAR fan, as was the returned quote from Madd the Sane.
Neither of us were expecting anyone to take it seriously - I know I sure as hell didn't. NASCAR and Indy are sports that a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into setting up and racing, and both of them are dangerous, even with all the safeguards that can be put in. In all honesty, I take my hat off to anyone with a brass pair big enough to get in a metal shell and throw it around a track at speeds in excess of sanity.
Having said that, I'd expect them to make just as much fun of what I do as I make of what they do.
In short - relax, we're all friends here. Nobody was calling anyone anything. Chill out, we're just joking around, mmkay?

*pats Sunny on the head* It's okay, we all have off days. I, myself, did not mean to offend anyone and was quoting Bubba J. from Jeff Dunham's skit
Arguing With Myself.
Topic? What's that?
knowing amber all that'd do is give her a sugar high sufficient enough to do a year's worth of DMFA's in a week, and then hibernate just long enough until the next convention.
or she'd phase through solid matter, not sure which. :U
Name the flavor, Passive, and by Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, they shall be delivered. :<
If it was delivered at Califur and she slept till the next convention, the next convention would be Anthrocon. Of course, it might have been a reference to the same convention next year.
And permanent means permanent.
Whoa ... drama! :erk

Yeah, some of those modified cars can be
pretty strange (http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2007/07/11/another-russian-car-for-winter/).
Other times, it's not so much about the cars, but more about
what their owners do with them (http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2009/06/09/real-world-carmageddon/).
Or what the
pissed of woman who owns a backhoe (http://eideard.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/pic-of-the-day-17/), do to your vehicle.
And finally, sometimes ...
things just get weird. (http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2007/12/10/another-truck-without-a-wheel-2/)

Then again, even if Califur bombs, it wouldn't be her fault right?
We can blame it on California's awesome weather.
I'm very happy she made it.
In a way I wonder what type of car she's driving to get their.
Just remember to check the oil, tires, and antifreeze level every once and a while. ;)
My mom and me had problems with the radiator all the way moving from California to North Dakota.
The wonder twins (Darkmoon and Amber) flew to Califur. We will, however, be driving to Anthrocon in a few weeks - exciting stuff!
Ah, so that weird guy I saw when I picked up my shirts was Darkmoon? I wasn't sure. But now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

Oh, so they flew. Just as well, considering how pack with cars California is. I don't think Ambers poor car could take that kind of abuse.
You know, I feel like that is something I probably should have known after reading her posts in the rant box?
Hmmmmmm. Nope all I can remember is she might have been feeling a bit anxious and that she was going.
I suck at details! That's probably why I my Lego houses were so lop sided
lol - yes, VSMIT - that weird guy was Darkmoon. Feel free to stop by and say hello, now that you know him ;)
Josh - I'm not sure she ever mentioned that she was flying - but driving from Indy to Cali (and back) would have totally sucked.
Does that mean we'll get to meet you and Darkmoon at AC? Cool!

Interesting website. I spent over an hour looking at it.
Yeah, that website is almost as addicting as TV tropes.
I particularly love the
abandoned (http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2008/03/10/abandoned-wooden-miracles/) type of pictures .. there's some
cool stuff (http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2009/06/15/the-aral-sea/) in there! :D

Yep! We've already RSVPed for the tea party! I'm going to bring my french press to make loose-leaf tea in.
I think she drove from her home to her mom's and then the "Wondertwins" flew to Cali. The drive to Cali from the Eastern Seaboard sucks. I did it once and I plan to never do it again.

Also, remember to drive
fast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XqpfZmUXUM) and
recklessly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d01VBR5nKPw).
Should make the long drive into a really short one.
Just have to dodge the cops.

Ya know... SOME of us have 7-foot long sheets for a reason... Also, she'd have to squeeze around part of my Lego collection first. (Along with all the other junk I've got underneath there...) Hooray for clutter!
Besides, on the off-chance that somebody's attacked by the Amber-Vampire/Monster, just start praising her comic for it's captivating plot, memorable + lovable characters, well-drawn artwork, and-*Unholy shriek of anguish fills the air.* Oops... Erm, nevermind...
