Greensboro, NC...

Riding with the Katie today, in the neighborhood I grew up in, we saw this...



Yes, the largest visible sign is "FOR RENT," while the tape blocking the property off is marked off with that red tape as "Lead Hazard."

Great, I lived in this neighborhood from age 12 to 23... I am gonna fucking die of cancer week after next now.
Been nice knowing you all.

True Story©... Cracking the Code

    I have an odd relationship with TV. We own six and there are shows I enjoy a lot, but the one in the garage exist more as a PC monitor than television, and I still somehow manage to fall asleep on the couch even while watching the shows I DO enjoy.      Despite this, two things remain true... 1 - since I have rediscovered my writing as an adult, I've wanted to write for a television show. and 2 - I've always wanted to be on a game show. I've taken the jeopardy quiz twice but that shit is CONSIDERABLY harder than barking answers at the television every night at 7:30pm Eastern Standard Time.      In a semi-response to #1 above, I shared the contact information of a production executive in the industry back in 2020 when I was furloughed from work for six weeks. I was inexplicably allowed access to throw my ideas at him without being hung up upon, blocked or sent a cease and desist. One might say down through the years that I am entertaining him. Well last week I had an

AMERICAN (bout damn time) Automotive Pr0ns -- SSC Ultimate Aero TT

Image
SSC = S helby S uper C ars... Shelby = Caroll Shelby, the grand motherfucking daddy of sportscardom... Shelby SuperCars = ... fuck, you get it. The Ultimate Aero TT, therefore, is the top of the top of the motherfucking line. Prototyped in 2004, debuted in 2006, continues to now, but only 25 total... Under 3000 pounds, over 1000 (1183 to be exact), Berlinetta-styled coupe. Expect to unass about 5-600k for one of these. Oh, and get some driving lessons, as electronic pussifications, such as anti-lock brakes and traction control will NOT be in the building for your most-of-a-million outlay. Power comes courtesy of a Chevy Corvette (BLASPHEMY!!! Shelby is a Ford guy!) 6.2 liter twin turbo engine. 1183 horses and over 1000 pound-feet of torque. Anyone still miss that Ford motivation? Me either... I could go on and on about issues uninteresting to most of my 17 public and 4 private readers (yes, I have figured out how to see you too, though I can't identify you) and those who

True Story©... Tender Moe-ments

       Not to let y’all in on more than you need to know, but I been holding out on you… For every tale of a person who emailed the Moe Phillips box looking for help, I might lend a hand to about one in five. The thing when doling out assistance of the kind that normally comes requested in that email box, I am only beholden to my own opinion. If that opinion is one of judgment, or an active decision that “this one ain’t worth my time and effort” then so be it. Sometimes the “request” comes in as a statement of a problem without an actual suggestion of what outcome the sender might find satisfactory, and I ain’t no fuckin’ mind reader.      So why are we here today? Well, frankly, I got time today… Before I send these emails into the trash bin of history, I will share a couple of the funnier ones with you guys. I will present these in no particular order. This one came in about three weeks ago… “Moe, I see that you solicit for those in need of help with “anything,” but even now I
