Title: Monster trucks.
Post by: Edgedamage on January 24, 2006, 08:49:56 pm

Now that I have two sons I have perfect excuse to go and see monster jam. We went this past sunday and had a blast.

I took my older son a couple of years ago.  It was pretty cool.  LOUD.  He was 4 and was just learning how the world works... he had just learned about pause on the Tivo so naturally thought he could pause anything he was watching.  He asked me to pause the show so we could go to the bathroom.

We sat next to this other guy and his 4-5 year old son.  This kid needed some love BAD.  He was sitting next to me and I felt bad so I started paying attention to him too.  His father was on the phone half the show, even in that noise.  By the end of the show the kid was looking up to ME like *I* was daddy.  Almost broke my heart.

Heh.  We got to go inside Grave Digger but they didn't start it or anything.  Monster Jam gives you some pretty deep access to the drivers and trucks.

Madusa is a chick... nice woman, too.  I've met her like 5 times now, though most of them were when she was WWF Women's Champion.   ;D
