Eaglez: America's Sentinels



A little over a year ago, Phil's new friend Toby was out from California to work on a project with him for a week. We were heading out to dinner and ended up behind a Jeep with the above spare tire cover on the back. It was totally silent in the car for about a minute, then all of a sudden, Toby pipes up from the back seat: "Dude ... that eagle's kickin' ass!"

Priceless.

Come to find out, this comment from Toby wasn't completely an off-hand comment. He had been noticing for a while how over-used eagles are in American society. After this conversation, Phil and I immediately started noticing eagles in all sorts of inappropriate places. Don't get me wrong -- we are all in favor of our National Bird being used in the traditional patriotic sense. But there are certain situations where the use of an eagle kicking ass is just plain ridiculous!

Since this time, Phil and Toby and a few other guys have started capturing eagle kitch where they find it. They make a point of NOT going out to find eagle crap, but just encountering weirdness as it pops up in front of them and posting it. The results of their efforts are chronicled on www.eaglez.info.

And now because I've mentioned it, you, too will be blessed with the uncanny ability to find weird uses of eagles in your everyday journey! Enjoy it -- it's a very special gift from me to you.

Head south past the Mason-Dixon line and you'll hit the jackpot. Or find any Harley rally or other like event where rednecks congregate.
