Things you see that remind you of BBM
« on: July 23, 2006, 07:23:36 am »
Earlier in the month I was up in Massachusetts at a classic car & Truck show.   Ever since BBM I have had an odd fascination with old pickup trucks!  (I can't imagine why!) LOL

Here I spotted a GMC pickup with Wyoming plates!!!   YEE HAA!

I couldn't find the owner to ask if he/she was a BBM fan!    :)

Right now, billboards with posters of BBM are springing up everywhere around town because the dvd is being released here... so you can't escape it!

Wow - billboards.  They never did that here.  Gee, I wonder why?   ::)

I had/have to get by on occasionally driving by Boca Del Mar and Plaza Del Mar and Vista Del Mar and Del Mar Lane and seeing the occasional beat-up pickup with Texas plates on the road in front of me.

Boca Del Vista?   Isn't that where the Seinfelds moved to? LOL      :laugh:

I don't have a digital camera, so I 'll have to take pix with my good old-fashioned camera, then scan them to post here... might take a while :laugh:, but I will!

Also, we have a shopping centre in the city called "Alma Centre".
And a country and western festival at the end of August in the area, with a rodeo show! it's been going for 2 or 3 years. I'd never have been interested before, but this time I might go... :D

Yep.  I was gonna comment on how eerily similar Boca Del Mar and Vista Del Mar sounded to that, but I figured someone else would pick up on it.  Shoulda known it'd be you.  :)

My whole world reminds me of BBM. ;D (Wyoming seems to have replaced the orange plates with multi-colored ones with a picture of Devil's Tower on it... though maybe those new plates are just on cars that do more traveling than around the coffee pot looking for the handle. They've still got their cowboy on the plates, too, but he doesn't stand out quite the way he used to.)

Yesterday I was on a plane on the way home from family vacation, though, and the pilot said something that reminded me of BBM: "All I've got to say about that landing is... this ain't my first rodeo, and I don't stay on for more than eight minutes." (Or something like that.) Had the urge to ask if all rodeo pilots were a bunch a f***-ups, but I controlled myself.

Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.
