  1. Phantom!! You insensitive [deleted – profanity] beast, do you have to be so anti-islamic? You can’t just shoot them on sight, you have to capture them unharmed and melt the slimy bastards for grease!

  2. No, no, no Phantom, you have to capture them oh so gently and then treat them according to the UN convention. Otherwise Taliban Jack will petition the UN to put you up before the CHRC and then man you are in real trouble! Is a race worth all of that?

  3. Franco could say this because everything behind him was dead or in prison.
    If the Muslims were smart they would have said nothing and then swept in kidnapping the contestants for fat ransoms.
    Thats if they were smart.

  4. BL@KBIRD,
    The quote isn’t from “Generalissimo Franco.”
    It’s from the character “Franco Bertollini” in the movie “Gumball Rally”. He says it as he tears off his rear-view mirror just at the start of the race. Kate got the perfect line for this post; it fits the contect just right.

  5. Hey guys, I’ve got an idea. Any of you drive? Let’s go over there and hold our own Dakar rally. We’ll show those French pussies we’re not afraid of those Al-Qaida bastards. Who’s with me? Phantom? … You there?

  6. I saw/heard a joke about what happens when troops come across a suspected Taliban in Afganistan:
    The Canadians:
    They have a list of questions that need to be asked:
    – can you speak French?
    – can you speak English?
    – are you a Taliban?
    – are you a woman dressed as a man?
    – are you a man dressed as a woman?
    – do you know your rights?
    etc. etc.
    The Australians:
    BANG!
    The Americans:
    BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
    CLICK CLICK CLICK – RELOAD
    BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
    CLICK CLICK CLICK – RELOAD
    BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
    CLICK CLICK CLICK – RELOAD

  7. Jimbo, sounds good. I volunteer to ride shotgun(former marksman)and perform co-pilot duties.
    I only ask that my driver slow it down to 30 mph as I ready to fire, to ensure that I nail my target.
    PS. I see that the french are still surrendering……..pity!

  8. I’d go, but my race car is a single seat buggy and sadly has no room for a tail gunner. There’s also the small detail of it being buried under a foot of snow. But, I do have a shovel…
    Tell you what Jimbo, you come up with a million bucks for a racing team and I’ll drive it. Even a Dakar DNF is a proud thing to have.

  9. OK, we have a team. Phantom driving, kingstonlad as armed navigator/tail-gunner/shotgun.
    I will require the following:
    1. two handguns (lugers should do it)
    2. sawed off ten guage
    3. 50 grenades
    4. two mini uzi’s
    5. 1000 rounds for each weapon
    6. one RPG-7 , c/w 50 rounds
    We just need a vehicle and a sponsor.

  10. I’ve got more than $5 to spare, and I know where we could pick up a used Taurus station wagon for cheap. Could be the first Taurus to compete, and pretty much a guaranteed DNF. Maybe a DNS.

  11. Hey, five bucks is good. You convinced me, I’m going for it. I’ll post the Phantom Racing Team entry for the Dakar/Rat Patrol Memorial Rally in a few minutes.
    DNS is probable. I can ship it all over there, but getting it to go someplace may be a problem.
    Kate can bring her bike. We can use it to tow the chase truck. ~:D

  12. I’ll be in Houston later this month for engineering-related stuff. If fellow SDAers want to meet me there, let me know.

  13. It’s just one man’s belief, but I do believe that it’s worth to make one big glass crater out of dar-al-islam just because we can’t enjoy traveling by air anymore. Is that going to be the last drop? I am not holding my breath.

  14. Aaron, how are you going to go duning in a glass crater man? No sense nuking the empty desert. I’m saying, Robby Gordon, trophy truck, .50 cal on the roof. Go racing, watch the little Al Qaeda beeatches run away screaming like girls.
    Maybe we could set up barbecues at every pit stop and fog Eau de Pork Ribs all over the place, kinda like chemical warfare but with meat. ~:D
