The movie the Breakfast Club debuted in 1985, paving the way for a group of young talent to have fairly nice careers. Plus, it was a pretty good flick.
A coming of age movie for a female and a tour de force for Molly Ringwald. In those days we couldn't trust anyone over 30...Hell, you can't even run for office at that age. Perhaps that's proof they/we were right!
Thirty years down the road and I am driving down the road thinking about the Breakfast club concept and how through the years I have been an active member. A nice start of the day with people you know, like and appreciate. Today it's Panera and wifi, tomorrow the same and monday a new site. I am going to have to adapt, get a new concept...let's call it "A moveable feast", there's an idea. Now if I can just get Molly to show up, or Ally Sheedy....just sayin'.
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.

Money from nothing
Yep, just like everyone else, I could use some assistance...perhaps a grant? But, I have an idea. Once upon a time I really enjoyed the Dodgem' cars at the amusement park. It appears that I wasn't the only one. Every day I see or hear something about racin'. This alleged sport appeals to the prurient interests of the adolescent "Southern" male, ie: Wrecks, speed and crashes.
So, I am looking for some "venture capitalists" to assist me in getting a spectacular new event "off the ground"...so to speak. Here are the rules and explanations as I see them Falling into place.
1.) All vehicles must have 500 horsepower or more. Why? SPEED!
2.) No vehicles can be equipped with either brakes or a steering wheel. Reason? Crashes...wrecks!
3.) All drivers must have a current DUI. Reason? To get approval from MADD.
4.) No pit crews...why would you need them?
5.) Winner? First vehicle to survive 10 laps...do you really think anyone will finish?
Race car logic implies that people go to see the wrecks, so let's speed up the process. I think that this new event does that. And' with all the motors, sirens and screams we should also have the required noise aspect covered as well.
From an economical point of view, money will be save in many various ways. Number one there is no reason for either the cars or the tracks to be safe...in fact the opposite would be better. Insurance might be a problem, but just play to the macho mentality...they'll all sign waivers! And, the sponsors will have cheap new stars every week!
What about the reality show you could spin off this concept?
Do we call it "Red-neck Roulette?"..."Wreckless Abandon?"..."Crash and Burn?"
Even MADD will be on board with this as it will permanently remove more drunk drivers from the road!
As absurd as this may sound, lots of money is there to be made...so as P T Barnum said, "Pony up suckers!"
