You have to hand it to Wygle. Some how he’s been able to beat Natural Selection…. so far.

He’s overcome a lifetime of ridicule that comes with having a name that rhymes by inventing the future of transportation.

I was channeling last night and guess what came on Discovery? The Barstool Sled Race from God-Knows-Where, Wisconsin. Grown men mounting barstools on sleds/skis and racing down a 100′ hill.

The three-time defending champs from Menonimee (???sp???) lost their crown. One entry subbed a commode for a barstool. Complete with beer iced down in the tank.

Wisconsin beat Ohio to it. Go Badgers.

The Newark Advocate article linked above is a must-read. Apparently this guy is a well known drunken ne’er-do-well and a possible girlfriend-abuser.

Let’s give the actual inventor some props here. Wygle bought it from one Vonn “Skeeter” Watson, who’s apparently been making these suckers for eight years.

Mr. Watson, here’s to you, Real Man of Genius. Now get yourself a web site so I can custom order one of these bad boys.

@42, the thought of a man doing a wheelie on that thing with a beer helmet on kills me. Cheers to this man despite his willingness to divulge evidence and lack of brake inclusion.

What’s funny is that this guy is probably more intelligent than 99% of PhD educated scientists out there, but gave education the finger and this is the result. Providence smiles upon us this day.

Ohio, birthplace of Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. Move over fuckers, and make room for the next/another great inventor. Is there a nomination for a Nobel Prize for Engineering in his future?

He apparently pleaded not guilty and is awaiting a jury trial. Man, I need to move to Ohio and register to vote post haste, so I can get picked for that jury. I defy anyone to think of a more hilarious way to do your civic duty.

I grew up one town over from Newark. I am so proud. Local coverage, with a couple of more details, available from the Newark Advocate:

(What kind of place is it? When I was last back in Ohio, the Advocate had an entire page devoted to pro wrestling news. Seriously.)

Comments 6 (Jay Cutler) and 31 (Officer Powell) elicited audible chuckles. Well done, guys.
