Ah ....... Uncle Bob?
I have heard it said that "If Bob Parmenter said it, then you can make book on it!"
That, friends, has now proven to be rubbish.
His snide response to a legitimate question from one of his greatest admirers would seem to indicate that he has "gone around the bend", and any future future postings submitted by this once congenial and gentlemanly fellow probably should not be considered reliable information.

The famous driver in '61 had to operate under a psuedonym because his mother didn't want him racing, his real name was Earl C. Festoon, but drove under the name Cow Teet. He was pretty Sneaky that way.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob, if we merge this post about cheese wedges with your post about chopping the top on your car, we can "cut the cheese"?
Was it Floyd Lippencoat, Jr.????

While you recognized the story line that was there as a ruse (and would ge a good one for another trivia question). However, HRP likely got what was in there.

Whoops! Was my attempt to sound like some kind of a pompous, indignant bozo so good that I convinced people that I thought Bob's "cheese" response was anything other than funny as hell?
