ArtEnvironment writes "Junkyard Wars coming to a... MALL near you!? Here's your chance to experience Junkyard Wars firsthand, or at least a glorified pinewood, er I mean JUNK derby! You can build unique gravity-racers and compete on a 'special effects-filled', mini race track. In addition, you can watch clips from the show and possibly even win prizes, yay!"

I want to be the guy that gets to dump alll the "junk" into the mall and watch little teenie boopers try to figure out what a fulcrum is good for, instead of spending 19 bucks on a Justin Timberlake CD.
Which stores will they unleash us in? by ediron2 · 2003-05-09 02:47 · Score: 5, Funny

To heck with attacking other robots, I wanna build a robot that I can turn loose into 'The Gap' and a few other choice targets.
Backyard Wars? by genessy · 2003-05-09 02:48 · Score: 5, Funny

I notice they never get near Montana like so much else I'm interested in. We're a prime location guys! Almost every other hovel/trailer/dive/barn has their own junkyard in their front or back yard. Think about it!

That kid is on the escalator again!
Cathy: Today's competition is to knock a five year-old off a moveable staircase using no wheels and only gravity.
(Meanwhile, Silent Bob goes swinging by on a line thethered to the ceiling to knock the kid out.)

Damn, no Albuquerque by Indomitus · 2003-05-09 02:59 · Score: 4, Funny

Of course they're going straight from Dallas to LA, with no stop in Albuquerque. Since the freeway between those two cities goes right through here, maybe I'll be able to at least watch the trucks go by, a single tear streaming down my cheek.

I finally get to sit in the middle of crap and try to make something out of nothing & make it work like what I'm trying to imitate is supposed to work!

Oh... wait...

At least this time I'll get to do something fun!
