Over the Weekend!!

Welcome to another posting of Over the Weekend!!. I shall once again be your host. In this issue, we take a look at the Sky Blue German Beast, relax a bit in the shade, pop some rubber, and take a trip to the dirty fields of metal destruction! 🙂

This is a 1973 VW Super Beetle. “Super” because it is much more glorious than any other Beetle, and far superior to all other cars on the planet. Just look at that aggressive stance; other vehicles stand no chance. In fact, most cars pray to one day be reincarnated as a 1973 VW Super Beetle. it is the pinnacle of beauty.

Please draw your attention to the interior of this sports car. It’s got more crack than downtown L.A. And yes, that’s right… that IS a house rug on the passenger side floor. :p

The cracks continue from the interior to the exterior. Look at these tires… LOOK AT THEM! The tires have more stretch marks than the beef isle at Hometown Buffet. Ever wonder why this car handles better than all other cars? I suspect that the secret is in the width of the tires. Look at this… They’re about as wide as my hand… I’m pretty sure my shoes have more grip than these tires do. 😀

The monster exhaust system — they’re the double barrel pea shooters responsible for giving the Super Beetle its distinct exhaust note. Nothing strikes more fear into other drivers than a car whose complete exhaust system can be plugged by my toes.

As i awaited for my minions at Yes Plaza, I noticed a nice photographic composition. I felt it would be nice to capture this moment. Ooh, it’s so nice and relaxing…

Yes very nice…

Finally those fools arrived and we headed off to the drift event at El Toro Airfield in Irvine, CA. While there, Tommy popped some rubber on his FC. Good thing he had a backup plan, which was… basically another tire. Nothing molests my heart more than hearing a perfectly decent wheel grinding itself onto the ground because the tire has been destroyed. Guuuhhhh…. -_-”

Due to the current economic situation, we’ve been reduced to homeless bums living in a desserted landfill. Just kidding. But seriously, I hope that doesn’t happen anytime soon — I’m not ready to live the Mad Max lifestyle. And if you don’t know about Mad Max, look it up, young fools! :p Anyway, on Sunday, we ended up at the local junkyard to search for cheap items. We found a few. But as a sidenote… the junkyard smells… like a mixture of pee pee, poo poo, and brokeness. If I had showered the night before, maybe it wouldn’t have smelled that way! ZING!…. :p

If you’re looking for some cheap spare parts, please visit your local junkyard. No need to let all this “useful stuff” go to waste! Geez… 😀

That’s it for this time! Stay tuned! I’ll have another real good one for you all next time! 😉

Over the Weekend!!

Welcome to another posting of Over the Weekend!!. I shall be your host yet again. A lot of things happened. My S14 was sent away, and I stuffed my face with delicious food yet again. Anyways, enjoy. 😀

First thing’s first. The banner above — look at it… LOOK AT IT. No, I didn’t get towed away for doing something dumb on the streets. As a matter of fact, my stock KA24DE engine has reached 245,000 miles, and it’s time to change out the beast’s heart for something a bit more… glorious… a bit more… intense… Let us take steps toward the side of destruction from now on! And so, let it be known you to you people! You high horsepower losers! You skill’less fiends! I will soon join your ranks… PREPARE yourselves. 😉

In other news, please enjoy viewing photos of my dinner as much as I have enjoyed eating it. Buhaha.

Mmm… that was delicious, wasn’t it? Want some? Better scour the lands of San Gabriel, California to find it! 😉 If you’re near this area… just know that this small Vietnamese restaurant can be found on Valley Blvd. between New Ave. and Del Mar ave. I would… tell you the name of the restaurant… but I tend to forget words that I can’t pronounce 🙁

Over the Weekend!

Welcome to another posting of “Over the Weekend!” If you haven’t noticed, this week’s banner is a bit confusing. I did that on purpose.  I have this theory that if you design something odd enough, people will naturally look, just to try and understand it. Design something too weird, and people won’t look at all, so I hypothesize that there’s a sort of a threshold for this sort of thing.

ANYWAYS, on to the article…

I went over to Yes Plaza in Rowland Heights to play some dumb arcade basketball game with my cousin Paul Wall and friend Tommy Burger. Paul points at Tommy while shaking his head.

This game costs a dollar, and for what!? For those of you who are wondering, no, Tommy doesn’t play basketball. As a matter of fact, you don’t need to be a genius bball player to do well in this game. Just prepare to spend countless hours mastering this short-ranged money destroyer; this game costs a dollar, and for what!?

Well, apparently, if you’re skilled enough to get over 400 points, a girl takes your picture and posts it on the “400 Club” wall. Paul and Tommy beat 400, but I’ve yet to see their faces on the wall.

Those with even more skill get to be on the 500 wall. Paul & Tommy eventually got past 500 points, but yeah, still no wall photo. As a matter of fact, most of the people on this wall just look like variations of the same person. Is everyone sharing the same haircut these days? I think not… just kidding. I think people are. Get your own haircut, you uncreative fools! And stop copying each other! :p

I’m going to touch on an odd topic for a second. I think a lot of people are starting to look very much alike each other. I don’t mean this in any sort of racial, prejudiced sort of way. People just need to stop copying each other. I only had this thought after seeing the “400 Club” and “500 Club” postings. Either you guys all have the same sense of style or you all go to the same barber. Or… you might all be related. If you are, I apologize, and I wish your big family well. Sorry. FAIL.

Anyways, moving along. Aside from having some pretty fun over-expensive basketball games, the arcade has a cool selection of stuffed animals that can be won…

… by capturing them in the ancient art of the space-claw game. This too costs a dollar to play, but the stuff is just so awesome… Look at the white ghost in the photo above. He’s from the Super Mario Bros. series of games. You know why he’s sticking his tongue out? Because it’s impossible to capture him. Or is it…? I dare you to try… he dares you to try as well 😛

Leaving Yes Plaza, I am thanked by a local trash can. You’re most welcome, although I did nothing to receive such praise. We’ll be back.

Next, we went to the local park to play some basketball. As we were playing, a group of guys were setting up soccer goals on both sides of the court. wtf, right? Well, apparently, every Saturday, a group of “soccer players” meet at Fahardo Park to play a game of… street soccer? That’s right… you heard me.

Not going to lie — we pretty much got jacked by a group of “soccer players.” Skilled soccer players… Nevertheless, it was pretty fun to watch. In person, Futbol is actually quote entertaining. That’s it for this week. Until next time… don’t give the space-claw games all your money, and always be prepared for a rough game of street soccer. Maybe I’ll post something car-related next time… *shrug*

Over the Weekend

You get to see the strangest things at certain liquor stores. I was visiting a friend who was on the day shift at a local liquor store in El Monte, CA when I came across something… awesome.

Gorilla Mocos, or gorilla snot/boogers, an oddly appealing brand of hair gel, somehow made it to the top shelf in the self-maintenance section. This funky monkey hair-styling product comes in a few different flavors of hair-holding strength, rated by the gorilla on the front-cover. The gorilla with the slicked-forward hair is a lower level, while the gorilla with the mohawk offers a beastly level of hair stylability.

Please take note that yes, every bottle shows a picture of a gorilla blowing snot rockets. :p

Later the same day, I went to a friend’s house and saw the same brand of hair gel in his bathroom! Are Gorilla Mocos the new in-thing!?

On a side-note, I had a chance to visit Mr. Pizza Factory in Korea Town, Los Angeles. It’s a hit-or-miss. This time around, it was a miss. 🙁 Make note that Mr. Pizza Factory is NOT to be confused with the delicious Damiano’s Mr. Pizza, also located in Los Angeles.
