Montoya

[Tartan Jack]

For Nascar (and F1) fans everywhere . . .

"My name is Juan Pablo Montoya,

You killed by Father

Prepare to DIE!!!!"

[Tartan Jack]

A Wee Bit of explanation:

The Princess Bride: movie from the 80s that is now a much quoted "cult classic"

Indigo Montoya: Spanish sword master played by the actor Mandy P.

-He seeks revenge on the 6-fingered man who killed his father. When he meets the 6-fingered man he will (and does) say: "My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father! Prepare to die!"

Juan Pablo Montoya: (short and simplified version) race car driver from Columbia. He was an up and coming superstar under Williams F1 racing organization. He was "lent" to Chip Ganasi for CART (Indianapolis-stye open-wheel race cars), where JPM won a championship and the Indy 500. JPM then went back to Williams and raced and won (notably at the Monaco GP) F1 races there and for MacLaren. After a VERY rough time last season, JPM rejoined Chip Gannasi to race in Chip's NASCAR stock cars, once again as a "rookie." He is racing in the "major" Nextel Cup Series and the "minor" Busch Series. Last Sunday, he won his first NASCAR race, a Busch series road coarse in Mexico City.

I have been mixing the Indigo quote with JPM since the CART days, now I get to share with the world . . .

I got the refferenee to the "Princess Bride"..... but not watching auto racing Nascar...etc.... I missed the second one........

Hey is Kyle Petty still driving?........

[Tartan Jack]

Kyle is driving the 45 Marathon oil car.

He does the Petty Ride Across America annually to raise money for his Victory Camp.

Honestly, he has never been the same since Adam passed away (his son died in practice for a Nascar Cup race in 2000, one of several to die of neck injuries the year before Earnhardt. The HANS device is a great thing (Though I'm sure most are lost already). Kyle is not in the public lime-light like he once was and has withdrawn more and more into running Petty Enterprises and getting the 43 car (now driven by Bobby Labonte) back to winning.

Yes, I am a VERY ODD blend of things and there is none like me (and I have yet to meet one even CLOSE).

IN other words... "boy, just sit back and listen to some of the stories these fine folk here'll tell ya."

For instance, Iron Bess... that lady impresses me with her grandeur... and Sterling... has seen more than I'll ever see... and Mr Hand! There's none as talented as him!

[Tartan Jack]

I NEVER said I was better, actually FAR from it. I just like things that most folks who like one or 5 don't like them all.

Hand, have you finished the Labrinth Goblin head/costume?

I know, I'm just teasing you. Gives me a chance to see what you are made of.

Rumor has it that he's marooned on the island of Java.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Hmm well maybe he;ll lash together some palm trees an float back

[Jacky Tar]

Hmm well maybe he;ll lash together some palm trees an float back

No, luv. Not the island o' Java, he means the programmin' language o' Java. A long descent into He** fer some programmers.

We wish him much success an rapid assimilation. We'll leave the pub light on fer 'em, an roast a few Java beans in his honor.

[Red Cat Jenny]

sigh..

float[] raft = new float[];

for (i=0; i< raft.size; i++)

{ raft.lash(); }

while !(land.Ho())

{ paddle(); }

return;
