FOOTBALL PRANK!

Here's a video of a GREAT prank that 17-year-old Kyle Garchar, a high school senior at Hilliard Davidson High School in Hilliard, Ohio (near Columbus), just pulled off. Garchar has been suspended for three days.

At Davidson's football game last weekend against their inter-city rival, Hilliard Darby, he tricked the Darby fans by having them all hold up signs which collectively read, "WE SUCK".

CARL ROVE PUNKED!!


White House pranksters wrapped Rove's Jaguar in plastic wrap on the private driveway next to the West Wing. Rove's car is easily recognizable because of its "I love Barack Obama" bumper sticker and the twin stuffed-animal eagles on the trunk. Oh, and there's a stuffed-animal elephant on the hood

MIKE FLINT A GRANDFATHER AT 59 MAKES HIS FOOTBALL COMEBACK IN DIVISION III FOOTBALL!


I love this story about a 59 year old Grandfather making a comeback in Division III football and finishiing what he started 37 years ago.


Here's the story from ESPN.


Mike Flynt was drinking beer and swapping stories with some old football buddies a few months ago when he brought up the biggest regret of his life: getting kicked off the college team before his senior year.


So, one of his pals said, why not do something about it?


Most 59-year-olds would have laughed. Flynt's only concern was if he was eligible.
Finding out he was, Flynt returned to Sul Ross State this month, 37 years after he left and six years before he goes on Medicare. His comeback peaked Wednesday with the coach saying he's made the Division III team's roster. He could be in action as soon as Sept. 1.
Flynt is giving new meaning to being a college senior. After all, he's a grandfather and a card-carrying member of AARP. He's eight years older than his coach and has two kids older than any of his teammates.


"I think it was Carl Yastrzemski who used to say, 'How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?' I'd be in my late 20s or early 30s, because that's how I feel," said Flynt, who has made a living out of physical fitness. "That's been my approach to this whole thing. I feel that good. I'm just going to find out if I can perform and make a contribution to the team."
A longtime strength and conditioning coach at Nebraska, Oregon and Texas A&M, he's spent the last several years selling the Powerbase training system he invented. Clients include school systems and the military. His colorful life story includes being the son of a Battle of the Bulge survivor and having dabbled in gold mines and oil wells -- successfully.


Flynt's life was supposed to be slowing down this fall. With his youngest child starting at the University of Tennessee, he and Eileen, his wife of 35 years, are planning to take advantage of being empty-nesters for the first time.


Instead, they've moved to this remote patch of West Texas so Flynt can mend an old wound and, he hopes, inspire others.


He became emotional discussing his goal of "helping a bunch of young men to make up for those guys that I let down." Then he laughed about the reality that fellow Baby Boomers are getting the most out of his comeback.


"People are kind of in awe. They keep comparing me to themselves and where they are physically," he said. "If I can help anyone out by what I'm doing, then it's all worth it."
Flynt's position is still being determined, but he used to play linebacker. Wherever he lines up, he'll likely become the oldest player in college football history. Neither the NCAA or NAIA keeps such a statistic, but research hasn't turned up anyone older than their mid-40s. And even those are rare, for obvious reasons.


"I told him he's an idiot," said Jerry Larned, who coached Flynt at Sul Ross in 1969 and counseled him at the start of his comeback. "I said, 'Gosh, dang, Mike, you're not 20 years old any more. You're liable to cripple yourself.' He understands all of that. But he has a burning desire to play. ... He is in great physical condition. He still runs a 5-flat 40 and bench presses I-don't-know-what. He's a specimen for 59 years old."
Back in the day, Flynt was quite a player.


In 1965, he was on the first state championship team at Odessa Permian, the high school featured in "Friday Night Lights." He was offered a partial scholarship at Arkansas when the Razorbacks were among the top teams in the land, but instead went to Ranger Junior College.
He wound up at Sul Ross in 1969. An NAIA school then, the Lobos were in the Lone Star Conference with East Texas State, which at the time had future NFL stars Harvey Martin and Dwight White, and Texas A&I, which was starting a two-year run as national champs. The highlight of Flynt's two years at Sul Ross was sticking A&I with its only loss in '69.
Flynt was going into his senior year in 1971 when he got into a fight that was far from his first. School officials decided they'd had enough and threw him out of school. He earned his degree from Sul Ross by taking his remaining classes elsewhere.


"I actually grieved for more years than I can remember the loss of that senior year," said Flynt, who'd been a team captain and the leading tackler as a junior. "What really got me was I felt that was my football team and I had let them down. ... I don't know if I ever got over it, but I finally learned to live with it."


Then came word of a reunion of former Sul Ross students from the 1960s and '70s. Randy Wilson, who has been best friends with Flynt since they met as college roommates in 1969, talked a bunch of his former teammates into using that event as an excuse to get back together.
During several days of reminiscing, Flynt's pain became fresh as ever, especially when one of the guys said their '71 season went down the drain without Flynt.


That's when he told them of his remorse. And, he added, "What really gets me is that I feel like I can still play."


"You might as well give it a shot," Wilson told him. "The worst thing that can happen is you get your head knocked off and come home."


When Flynt returned home to Franklin, Tenn., his wife wasn't as fired up by the idea.
"I feel like I'm married to Peter Pan," she said.


It took time to accept that instead of joining their daughter at Tennessee's home opener she would be watching her husband hit kids one-third his age.


Eventually she came around. They've sold their suburban Nashville home and are now living in Alpine, a town of about 6,000 residents near the Big Bend National Park, a three-hour drive from the nearest major airport.


"I told her, for me to know that I can do it and not do it would be worse than losing out the first time," he said.


A devout Christian, Flynt sees many religious undertones to his story. He also believes it touts the benefits of strength training.


"People have asked me, 'Mike, what is the fountain of youth?' Well, it's strength training that builds muscle, increases bone density and burns calories," he said. "It's the one thing you can do in your 90s and benefit from."


Just to be clear, Flynt won't be playing football in his 90s.


He'll be out of eligibility then.

THE DELOREAN IS BACK!

Today's a HUGE day for those of us who REALLY miss the '80s. . . the DeLorean is officially BACK!!!

Stephen Wynne of Humble, Texas, who has been the country's biggest DeLorean repairman for the past 12 years, is about to start building brand-new DeLoreans. . . and selling them for $57,500. Only about 9,000 DeLoreans were made between 1981 and 1983, and 6,500 of them are still on the road today. They sold for $25,000.

The DeLorean Motor Company went bankrupt in 1982, when JOHN DELOREAN was arrested for drug trafficking.The DeLorean got famous as the time machine in "Back to the Future". . . and, according to Wynne the almost nonstop showings of the three "Back to the Future" movies on cable is really what's driving the demand for DeLoreans today.
Wynne says he has enough parts to build about two new DeLoreans a month, every month. And, he says, he got John DeLorean's blessing to start manufacturing the cars again, before DeLorean died in 2005.

The new DeLoreans will go on sale sometime next year.
A really rich friend of mine in High School had one that he drove to school every day. It was a very cool car, but it's as slow as a Chevette with a bad tune-up....still a cool LOOKING car though.

RARE BEATLES FIND


Mal Evans, The Beatles's road manager, must have taken a treasure trove worth of Fab Four secrets to his grave when he was fatally shot by the Los Angeles Police Department following a domestic dispute in 1976. But occasionally some of those treasures are unearthed -- which is what happened with the recent discovery of footage shot by Evans that shows the Beatles in a car with The Beach Boys in London in 1966, reportedly the only time the two bands were filmed together. There is also film of the band talking about fame with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts; live footage of Jimi Hendrix and more. Some of the footage can be downloaded for a fee at MBopMegaStore-dot-com.

WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR...LIKE THE JETSONS!

How long have we been told that "the flying car" was just around the corner? Remember back in the 50's everyone said we would have our own flying car by the year 2000. WELL WHERE IS IT??!!

Now it looks like it is almost here! Here's the story:

The push toward flying cars took a big step forward this week when a company called Moller International, in Davis, in Northern California, started manufacturing parts for its "Jetsons"-style personal flying pods.

These pods look pretty close to what GEORGE JETSON used to drive. . . or what we think ALIENS would drive. . . they're circular, you sit in the center, and THEY FLY.

The pods get up to 10 feet off the ground. . . they can top out at 50 miles-per-hour. . . and they take off and land vertically, like helicopters. According to the company, quote, "It's not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy. You can speed over rocks, swamps, fences or log-infested waterways with ease because you're not limited by the surface." Estimated retail price will be about $90,000.

Here's video of the flying car!
