Tom Petty once told me, "Oh my my, oh hell yes, honey put on that party dress." Which I find fitting since we are about 3 hours into our trip to Orlando Florida. The Sunshine State. We had our first stop in the wonderful city of Effingham, at a little place we call the Steak n' Shake. I went with the spicy chicken and M&M milkshake, and for some reason I could not come up with the word milkshake since I've been having frostys and blizzads constantly. We are seeing quite the amount of animals....both dead and alive...and sleeping. Only like 16 hours left, we are basically here. And writers block is a bitch... let me tell ya. I can not think of much to write, and then when I went to Michigan I had like 25 pages...sh*t. ** I will try and edit the language in this copy since the parents will be reading this... hey mom and dad** When I get to Florida I am going to make a Dan Jeck version of the Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere" only substituting the places hes been, with ones I have been like Bourbonnais, Bradley, Kankakee, Champaign, Charleston, Effingham, and so on.
F*cking just saw Bambi on the side of the road taking a nap. Later Toothpick said Kyle. On to the sucker. Theres a hawk. We did just see a bunch of broken road block things... hard to say what it was, maybe a Rolls Royce (spelling) that hit it. That sucks for them. I can add Salem to the list of places I've been because there it went. The Eastern Tree! They moved it from out front Old Main to around mile marker.....113. go get it.
pageAnd watch out Don's Flea Market has NASCAR collectibles. Me and Kyle very much would kill to go, but I dont want to end up staying there for hours, and being late for work. I had some food around my mouth...wont get the babes aka babenasties aka hardbodies with that in Florida. Kelly Clarkson is good/hot...so dont complain when her songs come on...kidding...maybe not...nah I am. So we dont need to grow up... Dix ---> (that way) PHONE! Matt Ish is the first to call.
"You dont do it on purpose but you make me shake. . ." so fitting for this part of the drive. Got the peace sign from a trucker. Kyle hasnt had a drunken Dan Andriano singalong in awhile he pointed out. Sweater Cows. I need to find Adam a confederate flag. That thing got a hemi?!?! It did. Flew right by us. OOOOOH Lions Den 43 miles. Before this trip i went to Target to find some car decals, and how there are those baseball/golfball thing that look like they shattered the window.... you know what im talking about? Well they also had one of a fish. A. How the hell is a fish going to crack the window. 2. How in Gods name does the fish jump out of the water with that velocity. Think realistic. TURTLE! Sucks for that turtle trying to cross 4 lanes of traffic. I guess that is why god blessed them with a hard shell. AKA a hardbody. F*cking prison right there. I dont see a problem picking up and hitchhikers around here. Nor does Kyle. And to the right are some broads ( dumb b*tches) on their boat.
page"Eh Rah Na Eghh Nah Ih.......twist.....twist...." KoRn. Thank god i have these sunglasses, or this would be hell. Kyle didnt just let one go. Sup trashballs we just passed. Im upset I will miss the Family Values tour this summer. All those great bands. Speaking of great bands... Soul Decision just came on. "Hows it go, ha yo faded" We have now said so long to 57 and hello to 24. And now welcome to Kentucky. We are on the lookout for banjos. That looks spelled wrong. The guitar looking things. Minus some strings or something.
----heres keko-----
"WOAHHHH BLACK BETTY! BAM-Da-LAM" Had to start with a quote Dan told me. Thats what we came up with. This wont be quite as f*cking hodge-podge as Dans entry, but i did just see a rear end of a horse and felt it necessary to document it. Soooo lets see.... what happened since we entered the KY? Not very much. We discussed Michelles love of bridges as we passed over the Ohio river into Kentucky. We actually did not see and banjos, believe it or not. special note - - Dan just forced traffic to execute the 3-man weave. NICEEE I LIKE IT! Anywho we came to the decision that we are to drink a beer in every state on this trip. We almost forgot in KY, but Dan remembered at the last minute. We hit a truck stop at the last exit before Tennessee and traded a few hard earned dollars for a 24 oz MILLER LITE! Drank it in the parking lot....in a plastic bag...like 2 dirtf*cks. So,
page- Kentucky beer drinking check
Word on the street is that the Tennessee ber could be consumed at a bar in Nashville. Dan hopes to meet Vince Young there. Hills and later puncuation so next order of laziness is that Dan and I made a stop at the Tenn-KY border and threw the pigskin from one state to another. Strong arms Dan threw one over dem mountains.
Tenn update, we passed through Nashville aka urban hickville and a half hour or so past Nashville our attention is grabby by a Jack Daniels Distellery this exit sign. so we exit but fail in finding the place and probably for the better because JACKS + driving= a piss poor decision so we go to a gas station instead where the 50 year old *woman* cashier asked us whos getting high? and of course we raise our hands and then she asks again and I say thats why im buying this beef jerky. what a sh*tplace... aka Murfeesboro (SP), TN. and Dan likes to check the mileage on his bling watch and NM on not going to the Jacks place because we found another one.
--------Dans back------
So its Dan back at the helm... we didnt make it to the other jack place but we did see a big accident where a truck flipped and the lady was being taken away in a helicopter. Traffic was backed up miles. Sucks for everyone going west on 24. The drive is getting...
pageI was tired and my eyes were getting heavy ( yeah that doesnt make any sense between pages, not a typing mistake here) we went through some mountains, Kyle got pictures...see him... f*cking beautiful...go Kyle Baby. Then came Chat---ooga and I was out of it, but somehow we made it to a burger king on the Tenn border. Not really a surprise but the lady in the BK lounge wanted me and gave me 9 chicken fries when i ordered 6. Then she tried to join me in the bathroom... and yeah...After that adventure we got a 24 Miller Lite and drank then hit the road. Now we are 60 miles out of Hotlanta GA. Oh yeah .. .. . .... . .
FLORIDA!!! We are here!
(this is alllllll really hard to read now)
I AM TIRED AND YEAH! JOSH IS ON THE PHONE. WE CROSSED THE BORDER HELL YEAH. GOOD THING KYLE IS DRIVING. I WAS OUT OF IT AND A MOTH FLEW AT THE WINDOW AND I JUMPED. TALK ABOUT SCARY. I DROVE FOR HOURS WHILE KYLE SLEPT. BUT HERE WE GO. WE HAVE DONE THE BEER THING IN EVERY STATE SO FAR TOO. TRASHY GAS STATION IN GEORGIA HELPED WITH THAT. BYE! WE GOT BURGER KING CROWNS TOO.
This shirt isnt itchy as hell. AKA it is. Thats what happens when you go into the ocean and catch some sweet passes in the sand from Kyle.
--------heres Kyle-----
- LATER, FL!
Kyle
and now here I am in my apartment, I will update tomorrow with stuff around here. bye everyone!
