The SHELBY AMERICAN
264 Fall 2015
This ad for the 19th Annual “Cruisin’ The Coast” Mississippi Gulf Coast
cruise used a 427 Cobra to attract attention. And it caught Young’s attention.
Jim Hutchinson sent us this screen
grab from MSNBC’s hatchet-faced
liberal Rachel Maddow, using a vi-
sual of a Cobra on her show. He
claimed to be running through the
channels after watching a Sci/Fi
movie and this popped up on his
screen. According to Hutchinson,
Maddow was saying something
about Republican Presidential Can-
didate Sen. Ted Cruz but he claims
not to have paid any attention to it.
If you’ll recall, back in the Spring
2015 issue Hutchinson sent us evi-
dence of a different background
image of a Cobra on Maddow’s
evening baloneyfest. According to
the ratings, only a handful of people
watch her and the leftwing twaddle
she peddles nightly. Think about
this: what are the odds that
Hutchinson would just happen to
see Rachel Maddow when she is
using a visual of a 427 Cobra as she
was pontificating, not once but
TWICE
! We were born at night...but
not last night. We suspect Hutchin-
son is spending a lot more time
watching Rachel Maddow than he is
willing to admit.
It’s never too early for Christmas.
Barranger saw these tree orna-
ments and couldn’t help buying
them. They will show up on his tree
in late December.
We have gotten some really far-out
things from Jim Hutchinson over
the past year or so but this one has
to be very near the top of the list.
This snake symbol is on a bottle of
French opiate-scented dental cream.
The product description states,
“
Brushing one’s teeth with one of
the scented dental opiates by L’Of-
ficine unerverselle Buly is a deli-
ciously
invigorating
experience.
Using a brush with very soft bristles
and a nice, firm handle, this hygienic
protocol should be repeated several
times a day. The cleansing and
soothing properties of dental opi-
ates, along with their light and lus-
cious fragrance, make for a suave
and delectable breath – scented with
rose, apple and mint tea
.” A bottle is
only
€
29,00 (about $26.50).
A
Hot Rod
magazine article on the
World of Speed Museum in
Wilsonville, Oregon (just outside of
Portland) spotted by Young carried a
couple of pages of photos, including
this one that caught a 289 Cobra in
the bottom of the frame. The mu-
seum’s goal is to attract young people
and to spark their interest in automo-
biles as a career. Schools no longer
have auto shops and if students aren’t
college-bound, they often feel they are
headed into a dead end. There is cur-
rently a need for 100,000 auto me-
chanics in this country and the
occupation is increasingly more tech-
nical. All cars now employ on-board
computers and diagnostics play an im-
portant part in repairing them. This
museum includes a classroom, lounge
and a working shop. It is a good exam-
ple of what it takes to light the fire in
a youngster who is good with his
hands, but it’s going to take a lot more
than one facility in Portland. It is,
however, an excellent start.
