A Tip

So how does one stay awake while on the road, when overly tired? Well, Altoids, gum, and tunes. (And, just between you and me, because some folks get a little worked up over it, Jolt cola.) Seriously. It works. Especially listening to the cool, cordial, croonings of Tommy Araya and the gentlemen of Slayer (new album rumored to be coming out in June... YESSSS!!!), and the smooth swinging syncopations of that masked nonet, Slipknot. High volumes are a plus...

Oh, hey... that reminds me. Since Harvey explained to us why he blogs, and provided us with a picture of himself (see below the fold), I've had a certain song going through my head, over and over... and over. While driving, I heard a different version, one I had forgotten about, but I think it fits the little freak better than the original. What think you?

Jolt? Jolt cola?

I won't say it. No, I won't. I'll restrain myself. But flippin' JOLT?!?!?

**shaking head while walkin' away** granite, full of flippin' granite...

I use caffeine, and have been known to take a sudafed, but one time, driving down a particularly lonely stretch of I-70 in Kansas, I stabbed myself in the leg with a swiss army knife. The pain kept me going all the way out to denver.

T1G,
Jolt cola? First of all, do they still make that?

Secondly, did you find yourself in Canada, not realizing in your caffeine induced buzz that you had driven right past Illinois?

Thirdly, I've met relaxed T1G, and tired T1G. I want to see "hopped up" T1G.

I haven't been able to find Jolt in years -- and I've been looking! I have to settle for doubles of Mt. Dew...

Jerry? NO - no you don't. Seriously.
