It's not easy being green

I love Kermit and being green is the "IN" thing, green as in being responsible to Mother Earth and the environment, that is ok but some things green are not.

I woke up this morning curious if other “athletes” were as superstitious as some NASCAR drivers; ie-peanuts in the garage, no $50 bills and for certain drivers no green cars!

I don’t really care about other “athletes” or even other NASCAR drivers and their superstitions; to be honest I only care about one driver and his superstitions and how I tried to warn his “People” that the car that looked like it had a watermelon rind on its roof spilling on to the hood was a definite NO-NO. I mean seriously didn’t they remember what happened at the first race in Phoenix this year, the car was Green (although I do have another theory on that race and why he finished 23rd, which I might tell some friends if they ask!) and don’t they know his past history before his number changed to 14. There was one race that during practice he noticed the roof number was green and by race time that number was no longer green. Yes, I realize he won Talladega in a car with green on it, but the hideous predominate color was, she shuddered as she typed, Yellow. And while his driving was superior I had a hand in that win, yes, little me! The Thursday before the Talladega race I gave him my favorite Tigger pin for good luck; Tigger kept that bad luck green in its place. No such luck last night, I told friends it was the green car and don’t you know that his final words before his radio was shut off were, “It was the M#$@&* F@#$ing GREEN RACE CAR”. Lovely, just lovely for the deserting sponsor, not a chance in H E double toothpicks I’ll ever buy that product or subscribe to the cable network that adorned the offensive Green car. I’d have said it was all in his mind but he got hit from behind before lap 3! From there he battled with the car the rest of the night…

So, please dear sponsors, learn this lesson and learn it well…a certain pooh shaped NASCAR owner/driver does not like, hates, abhors, is no f-ing good driving a M#$@&* F@#$ing GREEN RACE CAR. Let me say this again…Green car is bad luck.
