No Matter Where You Mow, There You Are

Seeing as how I finished my last final this very morning and am completely brain dead, I will be refraining from writing anything resembling "deep" or "intelligent" for a few hours. However, you ARE in luck, for I have just rediscovered a fantastic website devoted to a little known and unappreciated racing tradition. Before you start laughing too hard, I have to stress that this is on the level. They started in 1992 and events have even been aired on ESPN2.

I give you... Lawnmower Racing!

The American tradition did start on April Fool's Day, only by a few chaps inspired by what they saw in the British Lawnmower Racing Association while visiting across the pond. For people who think Americans know how to do things bigger, better, or faster than the rest of the world, I would like to note that the BLRA sponsers a yearly 12 hour lawnmower endurance race. These blokes can log up to 300 miles averaging around 23 mph.

Its been said before, and it will probably be said again, "I'm quirky." Yes, I know.
