In honour of that past Late Night Showman
extraordinaire, and co-owner of the Steak 'N Shake No. 15 IndyCar, with FREE
Milkshakes to All of Yuhs still reading this; Hya! I decided to post this
second portion of Thy Birthday Salutations accordingly.
As it's still September 11th here on the West
Coast CARPETZ', right? Since we're on Pacific Time, thus it's still No Fenders
Birthday, for which I should have managed to escape the day's onslaught of
national Jingoism and Supporting Duh Troops! since after all, today's the day
that Ferryboat music Died.
"Bye bye America Pie..."
Although the next
Ferryboat Y'all can catch from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, sans any live performers
departs shortly at 12:15am I'm told...
NO! I'm NOT taking a page outta Mike Malloy's
playbook, reportedly a "controversial" Disc Jockey I once listened to
nightly, before the CBS Executives in their infinite wisdom decided Seattle
needed another FUCKING Sports Talk Radio Station; URGH! And POOF! AM1090 went
Thou way of the Dodo Bird, or was I-T the Front Engine Roadster for Mwah; but I
digress...
As Malloy used to throw out the Time-to-Quit
card occasionally... Which I'm NOT planning on doing, but; if Y'all haven't
noticed, lately my heart's really not been in Der Vurld de Motorsporten, Ja-Ja!
Although I did get overly Jazzed during
the Pocono IndyCar race and began chanting loudly at Thy Telescreen: C'mon
Mikhail!
thus, this rapid turnoff has come largely
from the mundane boredom of Lewis Hamilton winning every FREAKIN' Formula 1
race, along with Team Penske kicking everybody's ARSE in Indy Cars.
But mostly is due to the passing of my Numero
Uno FURR-Rocious lap Hoond Mad Molly! Who's pulling of her chute I scribbled labouriously
about in;
Whilst probably my largest No Fenders Fan,
and definitely 'Offfical Cheerleader, Thy late Awntie Harriet's presence is
also missed.
But Hey Debby
Downer, this is supposed to be a Birthday, which means lighten up 'N celebrate...
Or as the late Dom 'O IndyCar Blogs, nee
Pressdog' would say;
"DRINK YE' BASTARDS!"

In NO particular order, as I'd like to give a
shout Out to Ray-Ray; Hya! Without the help of the following, NONE of this
would be possible!
As this 'lil blogging endeavour was the
brainchild of Blogmeister Miguel, who not only created the Blogsite, but keeps
it running & lookin' Sharp!
And speaking 'O looking sharp, that's exactly
what the BITCHIN' No Fenders logo looks like, right Randall? As the AWESOME
artwork was created by Artiste Dave, having even been utilized for a few
limited edition T-shirt runs along with adorning the Homepage.
Next, there's Dave, Dave's NOT Here; Hya!
A.K.A. CARPETZ', my most gracious Indianapolis Host, 'Offical No Fenders
Photographer and Mother Speedway personal Sherpa!
And then there's the various Bureau Chiefs,
with Indianapolis's Daniel Baines Cooper, Arizona's Snowbyrd MJ and Tacoma's
Mary Ellen. Along with Communications expert Randall, Thy Moniker King, where
such clever words as Confuzer and 'lil Stevie Johnson, aka Stefan Johansson
come from; Hya!
whilst I'd better not forget a few others,
like my good friends, Quattro Florentines' in the Other Florence including
What's Her Name? Hya! The Hosers from Up North Eh! Tricia Lee And All of the O'Brien's,
to name just a few...
Also, there's my wonderful Austin Duo of
"bonnie & Clyde;" Err Claudio and Nelie. As Claudio's my personal
travel Sherpa, especially when visiting Geo. Phillips favourite named track
COTA, nee Circuit Of The Americas. Whilst Nelie's always the "Bestest"
Hostess.
And last but absolutely NOT least! Is Thy
esteemed travelin' companion, nee Travel Coordinator, Chauffer, Cook &
Bottle Washer; Hya! Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary Ellen who continuously helps me
escape to the great Outdoors, along with her wonderful lap Hoonds!
TALK SHOWS
I'd be remiss if I didn't give a Shout-out to
Don Kay, and his 'lil Autosport Radio Show. As Don's always been super kind to
Mwah, gotten me IndyCar driver autographs and even invited me once to be a
guest upon his live radio show programme following one of my multiple Indy 500
outings.
Hence, it's easy to see why Autosport Radio's
become my preferred Tuesday Night IndyCar programme for a long, long time now!
Having attended my first show at McGilveries in Beautiful Speedway, IN 'Wayback
in Twenty-oh-Seven when Darren "Dangermouse" Manning was one of Don's
guests. As sorry Curty Cavin & Kevin Lee, but Don's "the Man!"
Purveyors 'O No Fenders...
Uhm, Oh Yeah, to A-L-L 3 of my loyal readers;
Hooah! I'd like to thank the Fans; NO! Really I'd like to thank each and every
one of you for reading my scribblings over the past ten years. Especially my
twelve Followers.
Since 12's a GURR-REAT NUMBER! Especially
here in the Pacific Northwest, where we celebrate the 12S' each 'N every
Sunday, by raising the Twelfth Man Flag at 'Der Clink, nee Century Link Field,
home of those Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks!
As hopefully,
shortly we'll be celebratin' the No. 12 and Will Power as this year's IndyCar
champion, may be? Chirp-Chirp, Bueller? Oh Never Mind!
