So, I got the Javelin out today w/ the radio on with the trunk and doors open while I work on the Cobra. A VH song comes on and starts to bring back memories. The Jav is something we would have rode around in back then listening to VH or drove to one of their shows.

Ol' boy comes on the box and says that VH got back together....and that they are comming to town.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

So I start thinking, wouldn't it be funny to sport the Jav to a VH concert.

I call Kelly and tell her I'm going and she's not invited.
She couldn't be happier! I ask her if she thinks there is enough time for me to grow a mullet. ~LONG PAUSE~, I ask if she's still there, "No, I just passed out!"

I call b-i-l and see if he wants to go. B-i-l is a fun ex -party guy. He says too expensive, that tickets should be ~$75-$100. I find tickets for $37.50 and call him back. They're almost center stage, semi nose bleed. Not bad for $37.50 as it's a small arena.

B-i-l now says he's in. He jokes about growing a mullet for the gig, we both laugh. I go to order two, then called a ex stoner musician buddy who says he's in too. I suggest a mullet but he opts out. I guess male pattern baldness has gotten the best of him.

I back out of that page and go for three. I get them lined up then call another friend. He's a doctors son, real fun guy who doesn't take himself or life too seriously. He doesn't answer. I leave a message to call me right back I'm about to order tickets.

Fifteen seconds left to buy the three and the phone rings, it's him. He's in as well. I back out that page and line up four and pull the trigger. I told the last guy about the Jav. He laughs and unpropted says... that we should all get clip-in mullets.

I have a buddy that owns a salon. We're gonna go see him before the show and get clip in Joe Dirt mullets for the show.

In less than fifteen minutes an impromtu concert is thrown together. I can't wait. This is gonna be a blast!

Too bad I can't get a personalized antique license plate here. After I get American Racing Torque Thrust D's on the car I'd love a plate that said "Mullit".
 
Yeah, doc's son saw them three years ago and said they were awesome.
 
No doubt 75% of VH is better than no VH and it'll be great. I just can't get excited about it until Michael Anthony is back in.
KG this should bring back some memories:

Oh goodness! I'd swear I went to high school w/ 75% of those people! :laugh: D'd swear the was Max dancing around w/ no shirt on. :yesnod:

I was also big into Priest too! :wink:

Oh man, do I really wanna hang out with those guys again?! :eeek:

..."Where are they now?" :shocked: :pukeface:

Eddie's kid is supposed to be awesome so don't sweat Mike not being in it.

Dude, it's DOUBLE VH, what could be better than that! To me that's even a bigger deal! I wanna see what he can do. :thumbsup:
 
This frightens and confuses me.
 
Doc, which part, the video, Eddie's kid or me and three guys w/ clip on mullets and 350 horsepower? :laugh:

yup
 
I have to admit, watching that vid has made me rethink the matter. I went to a Rush concert about 15 years ago and it was a real friendly scene...except for the two yahoos directly behind me who insisted on talking the whole time. When I kindly explained I'm sure they had plenty to catch up on, I didn't pay $35 to hear them talk all night they got upset.

Bahhhh! Once you clip on that mullet there won't be much that can phase you. Mullets are magic.
 
As someone who grew up in the 1980's I know the power of the mullet. Somewhere there are pictures... never had the Javelin though.

You've got to do this, and we do need the picture.

Will do my best.
 
So, I get out the tub and put on me draws(~Draws~ down here, not drawers) and pop some cinnimon rolls in the oven. I decide to work on the CD player in the Jav. I walk out to the pole shed, get the car and bring it back to the house. I fiddle a minute with a CD in it then go inside to get another one. When I come back and eject the CD Pretty Woman comes on the radio. Well it's Twofer Tuesday and next up is Panama. Now I can't very well let the entire song play out with a perfectly good cammed V8, 4bbl and a 4speed right there at my disposal.

So I fire her up and me and my T shirt and draws start to drive around the yard. I know that gate is open and it reall would be a shame not to smoke the tires just a little. I drive down my street nice and easy past me neighbor smoking a cig on his porch. I turn onto the main road, put my foot to the floor and the car goes sideways. I run up to thirdm turn around and head back to my street....foot to the floor, smoking tires and just a wee bit sideways.

Time for some background. The gas gauge doesn't work and I only keep a bit of fule in it as I want to pull the tank soon and flush it out. It's run out of gas on me about four times now.

As I head back I feel iit lean out a bit. I let off and start to coast hoping to at least make it to my driveway. Well, you can guess what happned next. The car dies and coasts to a stop on my street....right in front of my neighbor's house who is smoking a cig on his front porch.

So, me and my draws get out to go get gas. it's dark but we can see each other. I wave to my neighbor and he waves back. I tell him this is the fourth time it's done this.

"Billy? Is that you??"

So I think to myself, "Who in the heck else would be smoking tires down the street at 10pm and running out of gas in their underwear !?!?!?!"

Won't ..you ..be...please won't you be. my..neigh'bor...

HI NEIGHBOR !!! :savewave:

Got two more guy going but in another car. Probabaly a '67 Mustang but it's not Mullited. Neither of the new participants will be sporting mullets. I think I'll make it a standing rule of "mullets only" in my car that night.
