On a racetrack paved with purest gold, Dale Earnhardt has the pole,
And holding back the pack behind is now his single goal.
A familiar voice says "Gentlemen," and Dale looks up to see,
His father smiling broadly says, "Start your engines please."
The pack takes off, Dale holds the lead but he's challenged for first place,
He glances over with intimidation at Neil Bonnett's face.
Neil looks back and grins, then right up near the wall,
A car comes screaming in as if to pass them all.
Dale glances quick to see this hotshot going high,
Davey Allison shouts back, "My car was made to fly.
"All right! Three wide, we're racing now, and this is getting sticky."
"Make that four," a driver calls "make way for Alan Kulwicki."
"Four wide! No way! This can't be true. This just cannot be done."
"OK Adam, make your move," Lee Petty tells his great grandson.
"Two in a car? That can't be legal. Will the officials let that stand?"
"Move over boys I'm coming through," Kenny Irwin joins the band.
"Hello, boys. It's been awhile, and it's really great to see you.
"But we're six wide and that's unreal, so what are we going to do?"
"I'd say we're going to make some room," Neil Bonnett recommends,
"Cause Tim Richmond's number 25 is about to squeeze right in."
"There's seven of us neck-a-neck, no one can pull away.
"Something has to give, this is no way to play."
The checkered flag is waving now over the seven in a row.
Dale looks confused, the drivers chuckle. "He's a rookie. He doesn't know."
Neil pats him on the back and says, "We all won that last race,
So now throughout eternity, in the points, we're in first place.
So we'll wait here in Victory Lane, basking in our win,
Until it's time to usher the next NASCAR driver in."
well okay I cheated by a few minutes...
Mod parent down as troll.
Living down in NZ has some advantages :)
I hope someone rightly mods you as a troll for your arrogance.

When will Slashdot return to its "News for Nerds" motto, instead of just being a news aggregator, with (insightful?) blogging?
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Yeah, no kidding.
There were NO stories about the complete annihilation of the planet Xythnaran last week. Total earth-centric bias in the earth media.

What a surprise! Parent got modded troll. You Americans who moderated it troll don't surprise me at all. It would help if you would actually open your eyes sometimes and not try to hide and forget what's going on outside America.
... -10, Stupid.
That's what war is like in the age of modern machinery. 9/11 was murder, not war.
Not in everybodies opinion.
Also, it was used as an excuse to go to war with
a country that had absolutely nothing to do with it.
You could exchange "go to war" with
"perform a terrorist act on" and it would be just as true in this case.
I just saw a Discovery Channel piece on the Boof of Revelations/apocalypse. Any theology experts out there?
