Ask Dirk! #5 Monday 28 August 2000 Before we begin, let's thank today's help. Today's laughs are brought to you through the generous assistance of Eric Faires, Nick Puzak, Andrew Duthie, Dennis Bitner, and indirectly, Mayor Corky Reed. OK, so they're off...I'll let Adam or Eddie or whoever bore you with the details of the rally's doings and choices for today and tomorrow. The highlight to me is the riders having the opportunity to "Get their Asses Kicked" at the "World's Only Ass-Kicking Machine". This is definitely something I should have and am probably way overdue for, but I ain't going near it. The thought of riders having to travel to Mayberry RFD to get their hair cut by Floyd the Barber for bonus points makes me laugh out loud... ...all together now... "Ooh, Ooh Andy!!!!"...these TeamStrangers are sick I tell you. The other thing that really amuses Eddie is finding themes for a ride...like today's Elvis! Elvis! Elvis! route. Obviously predictable stuff like Graceland and Tupelo will figure in, but where we really need to look at is the "Elvis! is Still Alive!!!" Museum in Wright City Missouri, and even better to me, Holly Springs, Mississippi's local freakin' NUT-CASE Paul McLeod who has turned his P.O.S. home into a Elvis! Shrine named, appropriately enough, "Graceland Too". Notice the stunning array of ten years worth of Christmas trees planted in buckets of cement along the house. Feast your eves on the fact that he PAINTED all the live trees around the house WITH A PAINTBRUSH!!!! Marvel at the estimated 15,000 TV Guides, each one hi-lighted and paper-clipped on every page that mentions Elvis! Elvis! Posters, Elvis! Cut-outs, Elvis! lamps... all available at the museum THAT NEVER CLOSES!!! That's right...they claim tours are available 24 hours per day. And if ol' Paul's not there, don't worry. His ONLY son, ELVIS AARON PRESLEY McLEOD will be more than happy to show you around...yes indeed, all I could think about the whole time I was there was "when do they pull out the knives and kill me."
These people are absolute loonies and it does me good (as opposed to last
week
Anyway, the key to the ride is doing all 4 Elvis! locations (including the
