Who Am I and Why Am I Here?

I'm an avid NASCAR fan, as well as a bit of a smartass, and it was pretty much inevitable that I would eventually merge those two "qualities" into something like what you now see on your screen.

Let's face it - there are many excellent sites devoted to NASCAR (and you'll find links to a few of those on the right of your screen), but there's not much real humor available. Some of the more popular sites take a shot at humor now and again, and I'm sure the guys who write the stuff think it's pretty funny, but for the most part it only seems funny because it's the only thing written in jest on the entire site. It's kind of like ripping a fart in Church - people laugh at it because it's a distraction in an otherwise serious environment. (Before you go getting any ideas for this Sunday, remember the ancient Chinese proverb: "Man who fart in Church sit in own pew".)

THIS DOES NOT mean that everything (or anything, for that matter) you read here will make you pee your pants laughing, but I do think you'll find it entertaining, and if you happen to find it thought provoking, please let me know so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.

Please be advised that anyone and everyone will be considered fair game here. I WILL make fun of ALL drivers, teams, owners, sponsors, NASCAR officials, network commentators and fans on these pages. Will I make fun of your favorite driver? You bet! But I will also make fun of my favorite as well. Everything will be written very much tongue in cheek, and all in the interest of having fun. If you ever feel offended by anything you read here, please contact me immediately so I can recommend you run a Google search to see if you can come up with a sense of humor, because you will have obviously missed the whole point.

There are a couple things you won't see here (or at least, you won't see much of them): There will be no "redneck" jokes, or references to fictional people such as "Billy Bob", "Joe Ray" or "Billy Bob Joe Ray". No one will be called a huckleberry or a hay seed. The sport has moved beyond that as far as I'm concerned, and most comments in that regard were never all that funny anyway, even when it was primarily a sport "by rednecks for rednecks". You also won't see many comments about drivers' physical appearances and/or shortcomings. Is calling Ryan Newman "No Neck" or Kurt Busch "Ears" or Greg Biffle "Bug Eyes" funny? Kinda. But it's a cheap way to get a laugh, in my opinion. (Now if someone ends up with a black eye after a race, that WILL be considered fair game.)

The plan is to update things here every other day or so, so please bookmark this site and check back often. I hope you'll have as much fun reading here as I will writing it, and please feel free to leave feedback, either through the site, or by email at daysofblunder@gmail.com.
