Volks,

Don't believe that Miller guy.  It's all hyperbole.  Except for the fun
part.

I haven't had so much fun burning stuff up since chemistry!  You guys make
the mess, and DaBomb's gotta scoop it up.  When I woke up the next day,
everybody was hung over and there was a load of aluminum and crap from when
the magnesium burned a hole through the barrel.  You know the rules: 1)
Leave No Trace!  2) Fahrvergnügen.  3) Safety.  That's right.  Safety
*third*.

Yes, a good time was had by all but I was hoping to meet more of the volks.
Shucks, forget Miller's post, a picture says a thousand words:

Wish I had a picture of the double cab pulling a fifth wheel.  Story is
there was a Chevy engine in it. Now who's the heartbeat of Germany?

BBB7 was really well organized.  Lot's of cool peeps. But the fix was in. I
bought 40 raffle tickets and didn't even win no stinkin' shirt.  But Miller
and I judged the chili, agreed on #3 and cast our votes.  Didn't wake up in
time for pancakes though... doh....

I was thinking we really should finish burning off that magnesium block and
then add water! I was seeing spots from the glare in my dreams!  As Tyrell
said in 'Blade Runner': "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as
long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy."

Let me know what you folks/volks/freaks/geeks think.
