Create-a-Southern-gothic-novel: Two NASCAR fans, five legs

By Jay Busbee

I don't even want to spoil the absolute perfection of this photo with any of my commentary. So I'll just say this: it was taken at the Milwaukee Mile. Reader Carol sent it to me. Beyond that, let your imagination run wild.

    What I want to know is, whose freaking leg is that? Do they fill it up with beer and drink out of it?

    One Earnhardt Jr fan, one Kahne fan and Alex Zanardi loses a bet.

    Hard economical times force Nascar fans to make sacrifices or stay home. Whats a arm or leg if you need tickets.

    I think it is good ole southern creativity, how did it land in Milwaukee, great seats, spin around any which way you want, are you sure this aint from Talladaga or Darlington

    By the way, doesn't that couple look like a match made in heaven, plus an extra let if they loose one, looks like if you had to fight one, you would have to fight both of them

    After arguing over who would be the tripod for the day, the couple decides that nobody will wear the extra leg. They then avoid eye contact by concluding that each could only view one half of the racetrack.
    Her arguement: He already has the tool to be a tripod.
    His arguement: Any other time, she says that it's not big enough.

    Wait a minute.....doesn't the guy bear a resemblance to Dr. Phil in profile? Maybe Dr. Phil is actively seeking out the dysfuntional for an upcoming show, and the fake leg is just bait for 'em. LOL

    before I enter a create-a-caption, please allow me to point out the irony that these are apparently Matt Kenseth fans, judging by the hat on the dashboard. Who would've thunk it? Guess they didn't mind his rain-shortened victory at Daytona.
