The EM-50, Homeland Security version If I had won the 365 million Powerball Jackpot last week, this is what I would have done. I would move to the Montana, buy a big house with a lot of open land, make some lucky lady my bride, and we'd head out for our honeymoon in this. We'd go to Oregon, because we've both always wanted to see the Oregon coast. Then we'd drive the open roads of the country, tracking and tormenting the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile. It would be a fun marriage. Eventually one of us would probably go back to grad school. And I'm sure there's a kid or two that might make an appearance. And then one day I would meet Harrison Ford in a rural cafe along I-90 and he'd ask me about the wheels. Of course, I'd take hime for a spin.

I'd hybrid it out, of course (think green, then I'd paint it green just like in Stripes.). We should remember that protecting the environment is just as important as protecting ourselves from the Soviets...er, terrorists. And yes, maybe even add a few machine guns, just for kitch. So that's my sidetrack for the day.  ¶ 3/01/2006 10:14:00 AM
