Blue Ridge BBQ and Music Festival Classic Car Show

It's safe to say that I fall into that "typical guy" stereotype for a lot of things. I like sports, food, dirty jokes, beer, cooking outside, and cars. 

Obviously, I was already going to the festival for the BBQ and then Pitmasters, but when I heard there was also a Classic Car show, I knew it was Dawn's worst nightmare of a day ... which means ... I was in heaven. 

I actually excused her from walking through the cars (I left her behind at the BBQ Pitmasters area to hold down our spots). She had taken her nook, so she was nose deep in a book, so it wasn't a big deal. 

I'm definitely one of those guys that say "they sure don't make 'em like they use to" when it comes to cars. My all-time favorites are muscle cars (Mustangs are #1), 50's era trucks, and Chevy Bel Airs ... as I'm sure you'll be able to see from the pictures below. 

This is the best shirt I saw the whole weekend.

I do realize this is kind of "redneck", but it's The Intimidator, so it's ok. 

This one is just too perfect. I mean, what are the chances that I'd find the only hippie at the festival in front of the hippie-mobile?

The End.

Movie Review: The Heat

I feel like Sandra Bullock has played this character before, but the addition of Melissa McCarthy (one of Dawn's new favorite actresses) gives The Heat a little extra spice. If you've ever seen a McCarthy movie then you probably know what spice I'm talking about. If you've been under a rock and haven't seen on, well, she's hilarious and you're definitely missing out. 

What makes this movie so good is the action mixed in with the, what I will call, literal comedy. What I mean by that is when Bullock and McCarthy are holding the drug dealer over the balcony to get information out of him, but then they're not able to pull him back up. Another good example, is when Bullock is interrogating a suspect and McCarthy, literally, throws the book and hits the suspect in the face. The whole movie is jammed pack with action and laughs. 

I do have you warn you though. If your easily offended, or not a fan of extreme language ... you may not like it. One of the story lines is how clean cut Bullock's character is, and how "non polished" McCarthy's is. 

I definitely recommend this movie to anyone that wants a good laugh.
