Curious as to what the Silent Pagoda might look like as a REAL IndyCar blog, are you? Well today’s your slightly-lucky day — for you have a 0.0000000047% chance of getting your wish. That happens to be the exact same chance that the Tennessee Titans have of beating the Colts today. And if that extraordinarily unlikely scenario plays out, then George Phillips of OilPressure.com takes the helm here for 24 highly intellectual hours. (His first order of business? “The Chevron B-19: History’s Forgotten Chassis.” It’ll be 3 billion words long & garner the critical acclaim from the racing journalism crowd that I’ve never received.)
Of course, that means that there’s a 99.999999953% chance that I’ll be awesome-ifying HIS blog tomorrow with wondrous tales of sports hernias & hash brownies and the like. It’ll be delightful. (That thunderous noise you hear? It’s just the collective shudder of the IndyCar intelligentsia. Pay it no mind.)
Two hours until kickoff. See you over at OilPressure.com on Monday.

I’m getting Donald Davidson lined up to bring a little class to this “Laugh-In” of the blogosphere (I know…I’m dating myself again). This is gonna be fun. Game on!

Oh, my gosh. This’ll be funny either way.

Kinda like the warning you get for an approaching winter storm. Some look forward to it, while others hunker down and wait for it all to pass. I’m ready… snow shovel in hand!

I’m with Brian. There no losers here. Just like in Bloodsport!

ME: SO’S YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!

So there’s a good chance Oilpressure is going to turn into Pagonda2.0! If George gets this blog, I’d say rename it Tire Pressure!

OilPressure.com is hereby re-titled “Silent Pagoda South.” Kind of like how “Checker’s” up here is “Rally’s” down there.
Splendid.

There goes the neighborhood.

shall we call George’s blog “The Silent LP Field” for tomorrow? Or perhaps “Skull-Shatteringly Loud Lucas Oil Stadium”…
