Build Your Own Bar Stool Racer 129

Can you get done for drink driving?

btw, FP!

So, I suppose its part of the rules that you must drink and drive?

And btw... at our college here, there were toilet racer things. Had quite some pep in them.

Probably ran on methane.

fun, but dangerous as HELL. We've had several ambulance calls on various people, they sit in the garage alot as a result.

Thank goodness, I thought this one was going to be about competitions betwean bacteria cultures.

Is it just me or was anyone else disappointed that their use of the acronym "NOBRA" was only used in relation to a bunch of fat guys on minicarts, instead of say...*cough*. heh.

Just wondering, how does this tie in with the article about trace amounts of lead leading to lower IQs?

do it too. [thunderstool.com]

Also, wasn't something like this posted on slashdot before?

It might be better than being seen on a segway.

Lawn mower racing is pretty popular in England also. The English don't use the same lawn mowers as us Americans. We have to drive SUV style riding lawnmowers.

Sounds like a crappy way to spend your time.

In other news, motorized bar stool DUI accidents have increased 800% in the past year.

"The bar stool carnage on our streets must end," warned a source from the local police department. "Anyone convicted of driving bar stools while intoxicated will be prosecured to the fullest extent of the law."

In prison, these maniacs will find fellow inmates who are more than willing to 'drive in their stools'"

And the Harley Bar Stool [barstoolracing.net]?

You got driving in my drinking!

You got drinking in my driving!

Wait a second, we could have something here...

i used to race stools back in highschool. but that all ended when i contracted shigellosis.
all that remains from those golden days is the nickname "stink hand" and a spot of brown under my left pink i cannot seem to remove.

"...the new and fascinating sport of bar stool racing."

Sorry, my hometown newspaper, the Austin-American Statesman (Texas), published a story about bar stool races back in 1976 or so (when I was in high school).

Fascinating, yes. New? Not by a long shot.

What we need is a good forum on that new-fangled thing, the "compact disk".

...drag strip in my pants right now.

Besides the wav making me jump out of my skin, anyone else find that one of their 3 catagories is titled "Gas Stool"?

Can see the sponsorship stickers now in that catagory... "Sponsored by Del Taco(tm)" Or "Fueled by Green Burrito(tm)"

Stool racing!

Some of my old friends from Duquesne and I would get together, toss back a few drinks (we tended to pass a bottle of vodka, whisky, and rum in turn). Afterwards, we would engage in the dangerous sport of Dormatory Dolly Racing.

Dormatory Dolly Racing (DDR) involves standing on the thin piece of sheet metal that bears the load to be moved. You then lean forward some and try to kick yourself down the hall up to a speed where you can roll without propulsion. Then the trick is to balance it without falling forwards. Needless to say, we had many bloody knuckles after these games.

When it finally sank into our drunken heads that balance was difficult while intoxicated, we engaged in a subtly different variety: Dormatory Dolly Tobogganing. That was a killer on the knees...

All this talk of stool... I'm almost tempted to post a link to that Goatse guy. :-P
