On the play shown in the photo above‚ Seattle Seahawks defensive back Marcus Trufant (23) drilled Philadelphia Eagles receiver Greg Lewis (83) with such force that Lewis couldn’t hang on to the ball. (Seattle won the Dec. 5‚ 2005‚ game at Philadelphia 42-0 in the most lopsided shutout ever broadcast on Monday Night Football.) Incompletions and fumbles aren’t the only consequences

realize I grew a lot in that jalopy. The Green Hornet took the brunt of many jokes. When Ken drove into our school parking lot‚ my friends and I would try to outrun the car’s sluggish acceleration. We wanted to paint on numbers and stripes to give it NASCAR styling. Ken’s questionable driving added to the "legend" of the Hornet. He exceeded speed limits‚ neglected to slow down around corners‚ and constantly fiddled with the radio. He had a theory that STOP signs with white borders were optional‚ and

Pacing and Imagery in “Dog Fight” In Charles Bukowski’s “Dog Fight” (Kirszner & Mandell‚ pp. 790-791)‚ we are treated to a first-person recounting of a street race through the southern parts of Los Angeles.

There are some very young pro drivers — from NHRA to NASCAR. Maybe not sixteen-year-olds‚ but not far removed. At 15 or 16‚ some of these kids are better drivers than most of us will ever be.

A seat belt‚ an unnecessary luxury for the Bolivians ? Crazy traffic. One of the first things that popped into my mind since I was landed in Cochabamba. Coming from Buenos Aires it is not an immense difference‚ but‚ traffic rules (those that exist) are taken even less serious here. It is not the speed‚ ignoring crosswalks or passing right that are the most interesting for me but the (none) use of seatbelts. The seatbelt‚ ‘a belt or strap in an automobile‚ airplane‚ etc.‚ fastened around or sometimes diagonally
