In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. – Alfred Lord Tennyson 

All human males were as fascinated with cars as they were with breasts. – Anita Clenney 

You don’t know the half of it. – Mr. Blog.

*Sigh*  Aren’t you glad you subscribe to this blog?

Anyway, this really is a touching story, somehow, I think. Consider other tales of man/car love: Michael Knight and KITT, Al Bundy and his Dodge, the Duke boys and the General Lee. In not one of those cases did the car reciprocate. Bo and Luke never got flowers from their car, no matter how nicely they polished the bumpers. But this guy? “When I hold Vanilla [his special lovemobile] in my arms there’s a powerful energy that comes from her in response to that…” Really? Somehow I doubt that. Personally, I think he’s inhaled too much exhaust.

How will Cinnamon and Splash, his spurned lovers, deal with this?
The question is Imponderable.

A Musical Interlude

No long story tonight. I came across an old episode of Married With Children on TV the other day and it happened that it had one of my favorite Al Bundy scenes. first, here is Al’s “dramatic reading” of a great, classic, doo wop song, Gene Chandler’s Duke of Earl. I’ll follow it up with the actual song.

 

No one rocked a monocle like the Duke of Earl. Mr. Peanut? Nah. The Monopoly guy? Uh uh. Cape, stick, and monocle, Gene Chandler has it going on.
