THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

THE GUY TRADITION CONTINUES, AND THIS BLOG COULD NOT BE PROUDER

The Complete Guide to Guys,” is probably the funniest book I ever read.  Although with full disclosure, I haven’t read all of your books.

In “the Complete Guide to Guys”, the Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts club explains the blowing up of vacuum cleaners, and at the end of the story you state:

“You must remember that gasoline and vacuum cleaners do not mix, and under no circumstances should you attempt to do anything like this yourself. AND IF YOU DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE AND WHEN.”

Sooo….   About 25 years ago we went to the desert near 29 Palms and actually took videos of our attempts at blowing up vacuum cleaners.  I just published the video on YouTube, and here is the link.

-- Ron Schendel

Advisory: The video shows guys being guys.
