Guy, you are ruining my life.
What does a guy have to do to win the potatoe head award?
Lets see (paying attention Gordy), I had a brain fart and tossed my bike into
the turn 14 gravel trap leading the GTL team challenge (not pushing hard at all).
Then I fell on the grid push starting my mighty tz125 during the riders school race - it is even on video.
I don't think Guys latest antic should count since it did not happen at the race track.
With no reliable witnesses I think Guy is fibbing.
Damnit Guy you aren't going to win my award!
Now I'm new to this so someone will have to explain, as I understand it the current year Mr. Potato Head award holder gives up his/her award (quite willingly if I understand correctly) to the new recipient. So If we have a tie that means that forevermore there will be 2 Mr Potato Head awards?
Oh boy, this could easily spin WAY out of control.
Brian, for your information, Meghan won the coveted Potato Head with off track antics, so that is not an excuse, Guy is still in the running. Now granted, you've been working mighty hard this year to win it. Does that mean if you get passed up for this presitgious honor you will race next year and try to snag the big prize? :biggrin:

Alexa is right, Megahn won for running over a go-kart track worker in Daytona. I was an eyewitness to the event. Brian, this is one race I am not trying to win, please do all you can to snatch the potato from my hand.
The official rules for receiving the award are as follows:
1) The current potato head makes the rules.
That is it, can't get any more simple
Is there an official Trophy for this award at the banquet? :lmao:

Yep.. It is literally a Mr. Potato head mounted to a trophy base. There is only one and the winner keeps it for one year, then selects the next idiot before the banquet.
I will see if I can get Ed to post the list of past recipients and there acts of stupidity
Well guy, I can honestly tell you that in my personal opinion falling off your motorcycle while push starting it is way worse than high siding and then crashing a car on the way back from the hospital. You were doped up rite? I thought so. I vote for Brian.

Now, granted I wasn't actually with Guy when he "severely dented" my car, but he did call me. I am glad someone else brought up the Mr. Potatohead award, because I plan on pleading with the powers that be, mainly Gordy Lunde (who happens to hold the award currently). I do have pictures of the aftermath; Guy, would you mind if I post one? By the way, it's amazing how a little duct tape and a tie-down can hold things together.

Giver!!! it will be good for a laugh
That's what I thought, Guy. I will probably post a photo later today or tomorrow. Boy, did I have some explaining to do at work about the condition of my car. I told people I had some custom work done on the car.

Duct tape and tiedowns? Barb, you throw in some zip ties and you'll be a racer!
Cool! Maybe Alexa can set me up with some leathers. I just have to invest in a good helmut and boots. Hmmm...now you got me thinking!
Great, Now we'll have 2 keys out there. :cheers:
Yes...Ed can take the lead and I can bring up the rear.
You know...this is the second time in less than a year that my car has sustained damage in an accident. The first time, I was struck from behind, and this latest involved the front end. I hate to think what's next!

If you see any pianos or anvils in the air hanging from cranes.. stay away..
Maybe my nickname should be Wile E. Coyote. :lmao:
"Uh, Ed? You know that nice car your wife used to have? The one with the low-limit, liability only insurance on it? Well, I accidentally hit a rusty church bus full of welfare recipiants with it, but I think everyone was OK. HEY, THIS ISN'T GOING TO EFFECT YOU MENTORING ME, IS IT?"

Hey! Did anyone get the number of the bus that hit me? Maybe I should get a Hummer or a tank.

Hell he should be happy that I am in the running for the coveted prize. After all he is a past recipient.
I think the rules should be, if you win the Mr. Potato Head award, you should have to strap it some way some how to your motorcycle and race with it on there all year. :thumb:

When you win you can make you own rules. All ya havta do now is somthing stupid. I can serve as a consultant if you need help.
Whoever wins the Mr. Potatohead award should have to wear a Mr. Potatohead shirt over his leathers for the entire season. What do you think?
I'll bet Alexa could design a really nice award for the back of the winners leathers.
And this will probably happen just in time for my winning screwup!

I am dying to find out... Literally
You don't want it but Brian does, hmmmm, what to do, what to do?
Guess we have to start adding up the incidents. Let's see, Brian has a two crashes on the track, one of them on video and due to his own clumsiness. Thes on separate weekends.
You on the other hand have two crashes, one on the track and the other off track in someone elses car, due to your own absentmindedness and both on the same weekend. But, you also have a story about leaving a shop towel in your carb when you started your bike and it got sucked into the motor earlier this season.
Guy, you're leading the points here for this trophy but I'm still not certain. I need to see that video of Brian.
Until further notice you guys are still tied but, daytona is still out there waiting for someon to pull abigger bone head, or should that be "potato head" stunt. Keep tuned for further developments..... :biggrin:
Gordie,
You are having WAY too much fun with this.
it's a dirty job but somebody has to do it!!! :kicknuts:

Gordie! What do I have to do to ensure that Guy receives the award?!!! Do you need pictures? I have pictures, and you know what they say...a picture is worth a thousand words. How about a thosand points?
I haven't seen Brian's video yet! Pictures of your car are not going to make a difference...even for creative hood latching. :biggrin:
I just need to sleep on this until about oh, Mid January or so............when is the banquet anyway? Hope it's not the 3rd week in Jan. because we'll be in Florida for a little vacation. :thumb:

Hey Guy if it makes you feel any better I broke my hand yesterday riding the KX. I made it through 20 tack weekends an then go out on the dirtbike and criple myself.
Good luck to Ed and you in Daytona.

Dude sorry about your hand, hope it heals fast. Thanks we will do our best, or at least Ed will. He just Rocks at that track

While we're on the subject...GOOD LUCK to everybody going to Daytona. :thumb:

Are you trying to tell me something, Guy? Shoot...I'm going to have to learn how to run fast!
Gordie you probably would have to speak to Bill F. about viewing my award winning video.
It's not an award winner yet, only a nominee............ :boink:
Ya know Gordie, there might be a solution to your dilemma. Since Brian is whining like a girl in hopes of getting the award, why not go purchase a Mrs. Potato Head? Then you'd have an award each for both the front runners. :boink:
Of course if Guy wins it, you should probably shoot the thing out of a spud gun, let it shatter against the fender of Barb's car, and then make Bartz duct tape the pieces back together.... :thumb:
I think Guy has done enough damage for now. I certainly don't want to add to that.........
But the Mrs. Potato Head idea has merit since, as you said, Brian is being such a whiner about it all.
Then again, it's not decide yet so who knows????? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Quote from: K3 Chris Onwiler on October 20, 2006, 01:06:43 PM

After all, I learned from watching you.
Glad I could teach you SOMETHING....
