This is the delicious Bahn Mi sandwich from Porchetta's in Pensacola. PBR is the perfect 'wash it down'.

^ Eddy Planckaert confessed that he ejaculated into his cycling shorts as he passed Phil Anderson in the last few hundred meters to win the '88 Tour of Flanders.
Translated quote: "I saw to my surprise that van der Poel could not follow us at the Vosberg. From that moment on Phil Anderson tried everything. He accelerated. He made me several offers. He would have given his life if I had let him win. He really didn't understand why I didn't accept. But I said to my ex-teammate at Panasonic that we should go for it. He understood. The final was incredible. He kept on accelerating. One time I thought he was gone. And that was the only time in my life that I passed the limits. When you are completely worn out, thinking you'll drop dead from fatigue, you reach another dimension. Suddenly it seemed I was floating over the road. It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I came. And not a little bit. A hundred meters later I was at Phil's wheel again and I knew I would beat him. I had reached a divine state."

Why are firetrucks red? I'm glad you asked!!
Firetrucks are red, because they have eight wheels on them and four firemen, and four plus eight is twelve, and twelve is a foot and a foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and ships sail the sea and there are fish in the sea and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians and the Russians were red and firetrucks are always rushin' and that's why firetrucks are red.

One of these flew over the house the other day. Even at a few thousand feet. the low frequency "thump" from the props was pretty remarkable. they ain't never gonna sneak up on anyone, that's for sure.
