Thread: Wax on, Wax off.

Tweet

In case anyone hasn't figured it out, I pretty much live for the summer car shows.
I was sitting here thinking about one that happened a few years back and I laugh at myself as I'm still pretty embarrassed.

Well, I arrive at this show at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma and as I pull in, I come to realize that it's a low rider show.
Further, as I got parked and looked around, I also realize that not only am I the only old guy within eye shot, I'm the only white guy there.
Not that it makes any difference cuz everyone treated me really well and were very friendly....but now I got a taste of what its like to be in the minority.

So, it's a friggen hot day and the show starts it's live band which turns out to do pretty much "scream music".
Just as I was getting used to it, the guys with the 78 Cad next to me start up with some Rap thru what had to have been the biggest mobile sound system on the planet. Geeze....almost gave me a nose bleed.

Then the lady on the other side of me turns on some Dinosaur Rock and the place really started to take on some life.....LOL.

Well, I reach in the trunk and grab my blue bottle and start applying a thin
bead on the trunk deck. I rub it in real good and let it cloud up.
Drink a pop and go back with a clean rag and start to buff.
Man!!! It starts to get cloudier....I rub harder. The sweat is just pouring off me and I'm wondering if applying wax in direct sun is not the way to go.....
besides I'm starting to get sun burn.

I reach in the trunk for my sun screen and it's not to be found anywhere.
All I can find in the trunk is my Wax.........Wax??????

I look over my shoulder to my lawn chair and there sits my sun block along
with my applicator rag.....

All I could think of is, "aren't you the dumb fug".

Well, in my defense, they both came in blue bottles and it was to hot to think.
Took two hours with Windex to get the stuff off and re apply a new coat of wax.
Well, at least my trunk won't sunburn, I think to my self, and no one saw me do it.

Hope I don't get senile again this year....See what you guys get to look forward to?

Peace.

No, but you need to be reeeaaal careful if you rub some on your hamstrings.

I once got the "Atomic Balm" a wee bit too close when anointing a pulled groin muscle - I'm here to tell you I could not get in the cold therapy tub fast enough! Wowie Zowie - it certainly left a "lasting impression" if ya know what I mean!!

i did body work for many years one day i had to go like right now .one of them times were you just about pee your pants deals . i was using some body filler i just did not want to stop but i had to go . i had no time to wash my hands had some fresh body filler on them well i found out it gets very hot on some parts of you body and did not take long for me to drop my pants

When I was in college (many, many years ago) we used to put wintergreen in the jock straps of some of our favorite fellow jocks. Having seen the smiles on their faces firsthand, has always made me cautious when applying anything to the body. Mine, the opposite sex or even my cars.

Oh, man!! Bringing back rememberings!! Har!! In high school, it was the big getter in the locker room to sop the end of a towel with "atomic balm" and go around trying to hit guys where they didn't want to be hit with it. Some years on down the road, I broke my ankle and was in a walking cast, but the danged cast kept falling apart; I was a very active 200 pound, twenty something year old girl chaser. After the third re-cast, a guy suggested that I try reinforcing the cast with bondo and wire mesh. All went well, and we used a whole big can of blue mud on that thing; then it started to "go off". Yikes!! I nearly cooked my leg; entertained thoughts of cutting the danged thing off before it started to cool down, finally. When the Doc went to cut it off after he determined that I had sufficiently healed, he ruined a few saw blades doing it.
