Hot Slot-On-Slot Action
So I'm saving up my monies for a great and noble cause like the kind you read about in 'Noble Causes Quarterly'. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm really saving up to get a slotcar racetrack. It's going to be the best thing since Xbox 360 I think. I've been doing some research into this the past few days and I think I've found the slotcar racetrack of my dreams. It's made by a company called AFX. Word on the 1:64 scale street is that this company makes the best tracks commercially available. Specifically, I'm going to get the AFX 4-Lane Super International Challenge Race Set. Yeah, you read that right! 4 lanes! Fast and furious foursome slotcar racing action in my livingroom. Check it: "The Tomy AFX 4-Lane Super International includes all of the track required to build 4-lane examples of 18 popular Formula 1 circuits." Yeah. I saw 'em. All 18. They're cool.
So, that's my plan. Saving up and dreaming about hot slot-on-slot action. Obviously, we don't have enough room in our apartment for this endeavor, so we're going to have to push the big couch back to the piano and get rid of some coffee tables. My brother is pretty excited about it though, so we're 'go' on the zoning. The only problem I see is that there is never anybody home at my apartment to sign for packages and this isn't the kind of thing I want to have shipped to my office. Imagine that? Ha! Then I'd have to lug that fuckin' thing down the elevators and halfway across downtown Hartford to my bus stop. That ain't happening. So...if anybody knows of a way where I can get this thing shipped to, let me know. Is there a way I can have it delivered to my apartment without having to sign for it?

Send it to my house, baby. I'll sign for it. Can't guarantee you'll actually be able to pry it out of my hands, but I'll sign for it.
If you mail it to my office, my elves will sign for it. That's what they do all day - answer phones, write letters, and sign for other people's packages.

Oooh, that's a great idea! I think I'll send it to your office because chances are better for somebody being there, right?

Um, not to be a total buzzkill, but how hard did you actually research this? I mean, EVERYONE knows that the model you noted there has 17 configurations, not 18. Were you even reading the box?! Can you even read?!
18 configurations!? Who are you kidding!?

Ha ha ha! I actually got that description from hotslotcarracing.com. :) That's where I got to see all the various layouts.
Love the name, by the way. Can I ask what kind of torts you're committing today? Any fun ones planned for the weekend? :)

Oh, you're looking at the wrong site. That site has all kinds of misinformation. Try slotcarracing4ever.net. That one has the most accurate information on it. Yeah, I got fooled by that other site as well. It's hard to know who to trust.
As far as torts, today has been kind of light. A few misrepresentations, some fraud, 1-2 conversions of property...but the weekend! Oh, the weekend! Me and my boy are gonna go out to this dairy farm we saw last weekend and commit some major malfeasance. I mean, dude, serious fucking malfeasance. I'm talking more than just reckless indifference or mere disregard; I'm talking malicious intent! You'll see. Read the paper on Monday. It's gonna be good!

Sounds like fun. I had a rough one last weekend, so I'm just going to take it easy. Defame my brother a few times...maybe breach a contract if I feel up for it.

shiet, I dunno if you can have it signed, unless you get it through Priority Mail, which, more than likely, you won't.

there's a dump near here that has a slot car racing sign hanging off it, looks like it hasn't been occupied for years. bummer, i was going to have a look in until saw it was abandoned.
how come you race these things - don't they all go the same speed ???

Hi Adam! I haven't raced them since I was a kid, but the trick is to slow down just enough on the corners so that you don't go flying off the track.
