Dammit, Keith, you have GOT to pull yourself out of that hole you
live in once in a while and look around a bit. The world is passing
you by and you are completely oblivious.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR

See: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/overreaction

And get a grip. Reserve "Oh my god..." for things like 9/11. And
reserve "The world is passing you by" for someone who has never
learned to read, never had a job, never had sex, or never been
outdoors.

Or never driven...

NASCAR just isn't all that important in the scheme of things.

Says the guy having the ongoing discussion ABOUT NASCAR.

OBTW, YOU are the one denying that it is part of the common culture,
Keith. YOU are the one denying *reality* here.
