We Got A Long Way To Go, And A Short Time To Get…Hey, You Hear Something?

By Jay Busbee | June 7, 2007

crapcrapcrap1.jpgWe’re a Southern sports blog, yes, but we’re always willing to make an exception for news from Paw Paw, Michigan. Imagine our delight this morning when we found this story, which isn’t yet a sport but comes damn close. Get this — a dude in a wheelchair somehow got hooked onto the front grille of a huge semi and got hauled down the road for about four miles, at about 50 miles an hour:

“The man spilled his soda pop, but he wasn’t upset,” Sgt. Kathy Morton of the Michigan State Police said. Police said the man was unharmed and unfazed by the incident.

“Unharmed” is good news. “Unfazed” is even better. You’ve gotta figure the guy hit the “what the hell else can go wrong with my life?” point around mile two and just decided to enjoy the ride. So, we salute you, Mr. Wheelchair-On-A-Semi-Grille Guy. Congratulations on making a nation smile…and not having to die to do so.

    I know Southpark is famous for ripping off items from society and pointing out their absurdity.

    This is the first time I’ve ever heard of real life ripping off Southpark to point out it’s lunacy.

    I mean, the guy in the chair didn’t go back in time like Timmy did, now I’m disappointed.

    (Note: If you are a lawyer, and use the Chewbacca defense in trial - any trial - I’ll come clean your entire house with a toothbrush. )
