JC @ #7 nailed it. Launch the coffin over Snake River. Or get the hearse revved up and down to the buspark.

R.I.P., Evel. Not only were you a badass, but you were also the inspiration for a main character in one of Matt Groening’s favorite Simpsons episodes.

Try to keep the rubber side down on the big ramp in the sky buddy.

32–

Yes, and then he puked all over the audience while injecting heroin into his eyeballs.

Can’t help but wonder if G.G. Allin shoved the handlebars up his ass.

Mr. Pelican Pants – Great story! Brings back similar memories. I vividly recall my attempt at Evel-ness in trying to land the front wheel of my Huffy on my buddy’s skateboard after a jump off of the driveway “ramp.” I envisioned that, upon landing, the skateboard would simply serve as a proxy for my front wheel and that I would cruise down the street like I was leading the Parade of Awesome Motherfuckers. As you might imagine, speed + gravity + concrete = ego-crushing reality.

My mom watched this fiasco from our front porch, probably wondering how my little sister might enjoy being an only child. Once she saw that I wasn’t dead, she shook her head and told me to get my ass out of the street before a car came and I really got hurt.

If anyone would have done the research in the 70’s, they probably would have discovered that Evel Knievel was the leading cause of pain for boys age 9-12.

Damn….my bad….Miles to Michigan….I dont know if Jimbo covets the FSU job more than the LSU, since we all know Bobby Bowden is due to collapse on the job anytime now, or be forced not into retirement, but into a retirement home

I assume you meant Miles to Michigan. That being the case, would LSU go after Jimbo Fisher? Would he come back?

Well its a done deal…Miles to LSU, Pellini to Nebraska, let the dismantling of LSU begin….Watch the line in this game change dramatically….Lsu football team will probaly be tailgating before the game,and will probaly play better drunk…..
#24……Hell at the time I didnt know who in the hell Burt Reynolds was…..til I saw Smokey and the Bandit, then I became a Jackie Gleason fan since he stole the show…My dad thought Evel Knievel was a fraud since he felt he wasnt getting paid enought to do the crazy shit he did, kinda like Les Miles

Pelican Pants @ 6, thank you for a phenomenal story with a helluva punchline. The fact that your dad characterized your behavior as Burt Reynolds-like is simply a classic. Henceforth, I’ll forever be telling my two sons: “Clean this shit up…quit trying to be Burt Reynolds.” The fact that they are 6 and 5 and will never know who Burt Reynolds is makes it even better.

Evel Knievel is the only man who has ever lived who could get in a fight with Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer and Bill Brasky at the same time… and live to tell the tell.

Probably would go back at them individually with a Louisville Slugger in hand, too.
