Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles and Motor Homes: A Generic Irreverent Look at the World Today

Does Facebook, Twitter, Tweets, My Space and Skype Affect the Automotive Landscape? The most authoritative comment on the topic.

LOS ANGELES – SAN FRANCISCO – NEW YORK – MIAMI – May 11, 2011: On the day that many Romans fear will produce the most serious earthquake in centuries, there’s many concerns that the rest of the world is facing. For example, there’s the dreaded May 21 2011 that’s heading our way.

I tried to call Rachel McAdams yesterday, as I heard she might have pink eye – I read it in the San Jose Mercury News. Anyway, I thought she was in Chicago so I had to find out the proper Chicago code in order to get the phone number. I realize it was just a dream act, sort of like listening to the dancing with the stars results.

The funny thing is that instead of reaching Chicago I accidentally called Bora Bora, and you’ll never believe who I reached instead: that’s right, Chelsea Handler. I said, “What’s up my little coyote, I thought you were still in NY?” Coyote is what I call her. She said, “Oh no, Jetman,” (Jetman is what she calls me) “I had to get out of the country because I heard that Newt Gingrich is announcing plans to run for president.”

Anyway, I really wanted to discuss something much more common so I asked about the up coming Cannes Film Festival. When I was in Europe two years ago, I just missed attending the Cannes Film Festival, which would have been much more of a dream act than being in Bora Bora with such a common guy like Harold Camping.

Then I remembered that I also read in the San Jose Mercury News that HUD is thinking of ways to get rid of cicadas. Cicadas, as you may know can make too much noise, especially as we approach May 21 2011.

On the other hand, Jetman – that’s me – said to Coyote – that’s her (Chelsea Handler), “What possession do you prize most?”

“It’s certainly not having pink eye,” she said. “I guess it’s my memories of dancing with the stars results when my partner was Harold Camping.” That was sure a strange thing to say because Rachel McAdams told me the same thing when she called from Chicago. Damn, what’s that Chicago code again?

Well, that’s life in the common world that’s filled with concerns about Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Motor Homes, Facebook, Twitter, Tweets, My Space and Skype.

Remember to tune in tomorrow for another exciting chapter of “How The World Burns” – or as the modern Romans say “We just don’t want the earthquake on May 11 or the May 21 Judgement Day, regardless of whether you spell Judgment Day with or without the extra e.
