As much as I like being in Chapel Hill for the summer, it's things like these that would've been fun had I stayed home in King, as I would've been right there too most likely.
I must say, that looked pretty damn fun, though faster would have always been better if it was attainable.
Kinda reminds me of the last computer-related smackdown I participated in, when RedJake and I took an old pickaxe and demonstrated an appetite for destruction against my defunct 17" computer monitor. One thing they don't lie about, those monitors hold a charge for a long ass time, even if it isn't working at all. Wooden handle on the pickaxe was probably a good thing.

Car + Snow + Bordom reminds me of something this past winter. Several friends and I were bored and held up inside after a snow storm of only about 4 or 5 inches, but well packed on the streets and such. So it just so happened we had an old mattress that wasn't being used, and someone had a tow cable in their trunk. We put two and two together and ended up trading places going up and down half the streets in Chapel Hill sitting on a mattress holding on for dear life to the tow cable and being pulled behind a car. You had to dig your feet in real well but once you got the hang of it, it was pretty damn fun. I know while I was on it I got up to a little over 20 mph which seemed a lot faster, though I wiped out a couple times when they purposely whipped me around and I hit the curb area and flipped. All and all great fun, and my favorite part was when we were stopped for a second letting a car pass from the other direction, the other car stopped beside me (on the mattress), rolled down the window, and pretty much just gave me a blank uncomprehending look while asking if we were insane. A quick shrug of the shoulders and call to the spotter in the passenger seat of the car and we were on our way again, with the people in the car dumbfounded that we were actually doing it.
