Towing Tidbits: Towapalooza '14

[UncleImpy]

Sidebar: The same thing happens to me and "YIELD" signs. Every time I pass one, I hear someone, in a voice reminiscent of Foghorn Leghorn saying: "The Gentleman, I say, the Gentleman from Kentucky will yield the floor. Floor, that is." Because my mind works in strange ways. Anyway.....

And now, thankyouverymuch, it will be happening to ME

"That boy is about as sharp as a sack of wet mice"...

[Monterey Jack]

"Boy's -- AH SAY! -- boy's about as sharp as a plateful of wet spaghetti..."

[Jay 2K Winger]

That boy ain't too bright, couple-a cards short of a pinochle deck. (That's a joke, son.)

Scarface lives. (Find the theatrical release.)
I had a CW like that who was never heard using any adjective other than fuckin'. He finally retired.

I'm afraid I can't think of any Foghorn stuff that hasn't already been said x.x tho, oddly enough, I just started re-reading some Cerebus last night, specifically some issues that feature a character who TALKS like Foghorn does.

Exit light. Enter night.

Enter Tow-man.

Let me guess, some jacked-up macho-mobile.

For some reason, I suspect that the guy had some o'them thar Truck Nutz on the back of his conveyance...

[drjonah]

That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is.

Guy came in looking for his f*ckn' car, and told us we better f*ckn' have it. (we did) and then launched on a tirade about how we run a f*ckn' scam, this is f*ckn' ridiculous that he has to pay $115 of his f*ckn' money to get his f*ckn' car back and he didn't do a f*ckn' thing wrong, (except park it illegally) and f*ckn' this and f*ckn' that, and, well, even Joe Pesci's character from Casino would probably have told him to tone it down a notch.

Did you tow Samuel L. Jackson? "Get this mothering car off of this mothering lot!"

Note 1 - Call me Ishmael

Call Me Maeby? Call me when you're sober?

Now that I got all of that out of my system, I'll be over here if you need me.

[SmivMoc]

... clutching your pillow tight.

Those aren't pillows!

[Ironclad Alibi]

Enter Tow-man.

Or Tow Mater.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Or Tow Mater.

You now have me imagining Larry the Cable Guy singing "Enter Sandman." What the hell.

OOOOhhhh. I wonder if Hayseed Dixie have ever done a cover of Enter Sandman? The thought of that makes me happy.
*headbangs*

Completely off topic, but there are some fantastic covers out there. Admittedly, most covers suck more than a Dyson, but every now and then, there are some truly brilliant ones. Years and years ago, while working at the college radio station, I came across one such brilliant cover. AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" covered by a rap group named Hard Corps. A million times more brilliant than Run-DMC's Aerosmith cover. Sadly, I have had zero luck finding any version of that cover online in the last few years. The band clearly never made it big, but man was that cover awesome. And this from someone who doesn't like rap! So I would not be surprised if there is some kind of country cover of "Enter Sandman." Hell, as much as I loathe country, I'd love to hear it if you ever find it!

Okay, back to the tow-ds.

[Jetfire]

I think this is the right link (can't access Youtube at work). It's not Country but how about a smooth jazz version of Enter Sandman?

Ebay. I kid you not. Set up an Ebay account and set up searches on the band's name. You'll get associated crap, but some day the band's cd will pop up.
