Green Flag

This past Sunday I met a few friends at a local hangout to make some final plans for a camping trip that we do every year. We decided to meet up at a sports bar that we all hang out at on a fairly regular basis. I figured since it is both basketball and hockey playoff time we could even catch a good game while we were there. But they had something else on the TVs at the bar.

No before I go where I’m going with this, I have to point out that I like auto racing. For one thing, Danica Patrick is hot! And the wrecks are always fun to watch. I have even been to an Indi series race and I had a blast. It’s amazing how fast the cars are plus you’re hanging out with a bunch of other people drinking beer while waiting to see a car wreck!

So the sports bar had the NASCAR race on. But they also had it cranked up on the overhead PA speaker system. Well I can tolerate and even enjoy a NASCAR race, but I had never paid attention to the commentary. The problem I had was the thick hillbilly accent that every single announcer had. These guys sounded like uneducated idiots.
