Fun with Dish Soap

Some jackass put dish soap in the fountain at Cal Anderson Park today. Ah, that old chestnut. A better trick, on a rainy day, is to cover a patch of pavement with dish soap and water and pull burnies on it with your car. We used to do this on boring winter days in Michigan. In fact, I challenge anyone to a Dish Soap Burnout Contest this weekend!! I’m still the Queen!

Oh wait. I don’t own a car anymore.

This will totally win for post of the day if you fix the grammar real quick-like!

When I was in highschool a friend's parents were out of town and a bunch of us skipped school, drank a bunch of beer, and partied in the hot tub. Someone got the idea that a half a bottle of dish soap would be a fun thing to add to the mix. It was super fun, a 4' wall of suds coming out of the tub. Turned off the tub and the suds eventually went away.

Well then his parents came home a couple days later and thought a nice tub soak would be relaxing. He got into a little trouble.

Ah, memories...

I do! But I'm all the way over in Minneapolis, or I would definitely be throwing down some burnies with you this weekend.

You've actually solved a problem for me: how to pull burnies in an AWD. Thanks, Kello O!

By the way, if that really was your Camaro... hotttt. And like, SO Michigan.

PS by the way, Sniggles, that's a Pontiac Firebird. Still oh so very Michigan (or Fresno CA).
