True 'Dune' story: when the David Lynch version came out, me and couple of friends ingested psychelics and went to see it at a theater. When the climactic worm-riding scene started, I stood up out of my seat and yelled 'yeee hahhh, ride 'em wormboy' Image
This remains the only standup comedy I have ever performed
no, Iowa City. My friends were Dune & Tolkein sci fi nerds and were really into it. I'm really not into sci fi except cheesy 1950s drive in flicks

the worm riding thing is literally the only thing I remember about the whole story
Actually I normally try to avoid attracting attention in public, I have too many creditors

Happy United States Grand Prix weekend from #DavesCarIDService. The first US Grand Prix (Anglicized to "Grand Prize") was held Nov 1908 in Savannah GA, and won by Frenchman Louis Wagner in this 120 hp (!) Fiat.
*Savannah built a 25 mile course winding through city streets and country roads, using prison labor, to lure the event. First car race in the US run under international rules, it attracted entries from Europe and the US and 60k spectators including President Taft.
Apologies for neglecting my car ID duties of late. I continue to welcome your requests, especially for old family album pics, and please use the #DavesCarIDService hashtag. For additional guidelines please read:

Not car IDs, but car dealership IDs: when I was in Chicago recently I strolled along the Motor Row district, home to some ornate building that were once car showrooms.

1. Marmon (duh)
2. Hudson
3. Premier (duh)
4. Car sihouette weather vane on the old Illinois Auto Club
The old IL Auto Club is almost like a church or civic building, with its steeple-like bell tower. Now used as an event space.
If you like cars & architecture, the old Chicago Auto Club building is another treat. Now a Hampton Inn in the Loop, they preserved the Lobby as it was built in 1928, include giant roadmap of the US and a '28 Ford A Roadster.

Stimulus Man: Fear not, citizens! For I am here with more green pieces of paper for everyone!

Crowd: Yay! Thank you Stimulus Man!

Dr Doritos: bwah haha! And now for Phase 2 of my evil plan!
Crowd: Wait, now THESE green pieces of paper won't buy as many Doritos as they used to

Stimulus Man: rejoice, for I am back with yet even more green pieces of paper for everyone!

Crowd: Yay! Thank you Stimulus Man!
