Tractor paint, Teri Garr, slutty igniters.....
Since I bought my new car I haven't been able to find several things that relate to rocketry, #1 and most important being my collection of slutty igniters. This hasn't been a huge issue, mostly because I've been flying mostly club launches, but as we get into the B6-4 Field season, I could see it getting ugly. Checked everywhere, in the pocket of every vest and jacket I've possibly worn to a launch this year, down in the wine cellar, under every seat in the car. NOTHING. Yesterday I decided to make one final push and found a vest that I don't remember wearing for years. As soon as I picked it up I could tell it had stuff in it, and sure enough, there were three Altoids tins, two of which were fairly packed with slutty igniter goodness. This is basically every igniter I've held in reserve over the years. I'd been working directly out of the pack of motors the last few launches and only had about ten in reserve, most of which I'd consider questionable. I feel complete.

They have nail polish on them. A decidedly slutty shade of red.

Hilarious.
If you grind up sparklers into a fine powder and mix with nitrocellulose lacquer it works even better.

"You Never Even Call Me By My Name" Well, it was all That I could do to keep from crying' Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore Even though you're on my fighting' side And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standing' in the rain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name Well, I've heard my name A few times in your phone book (hello, hello) And I've seen it on signs where I've played But the only time I know I'll hear "David Allan Coe" Is when Jesus has his final judgment day So I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standing' in the rain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song And he told me it was the perfect country & western song I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me And after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song And I felt obliged to include it on this album The last verse goes like this here Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got run over by a ****ed old train And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standing' in the rain, no But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me Well, I wonder why you don't call me Why don't you ever call me by my name

I saw David Allen Coe do this in Fort Worth, TX in 1991.
