I went to the Portland Adult Soapbox Derby (which sounds naughty, I know, but isn't) on Mt. Tabor last August, truly a one-of-a-kind event (unless, of course, you live in any number of cities that host one). Pretty much what you might expect: fast cars, slow cars, cool cars, pathetic cars, quirky cars, and even quirkier cars.
This one lost control and crashed moments after I took the shot. Not my fault. I swear.
Too many sharks, not enough jets. (I swear, that's my first and last West Side Story reference.)
This one clearly fit into both the "pathetic" and "slow" categories.
Did I forget to mention the WTF category?

You know how they say you start looking like your pets? Well, maybe the same is true of you and your adult soap box derby vehicle? WTF indeed.
I understand the polar bear eating the seal (at least I think it's a seal -- it could just as easily be a missile or a giant hypodermic needle), but I don't really know what to make of fuzzy astronaut-helmeted chick. Maybe it's simply a "global warming leads to some fucked up shit" message?
Oh god it's awful. Really. The more I look at it. Why does the polar bear have to be eating the seal? Why can't he be hoisting him in the air and singing "for he's a jolly good mammal!" But worse yet, is the look on HER face. She's got that proud mommy thing going on. Is she an Arctic Mermaid? IS she the polar bear's mommy? I mean, the fuzzy helmut clearly says, "look--we're related!"
I feel normal.
Ha! You forgot the rest of the lyrics:
For he's a jolly good mammal,
For he's a jolly good mammal,
For he's a jolly good mammal,
Too bad that he won't survive,
Too bad that he won't survive.
Very cool.
FYI I found your blog though the list of the day.
Welcome, Dr. Zibbs. Yeah, I love LOTD. In fact, I'm trying very hard not to imitate it.
