Hey Tolkien fandom, anyone want to do some world-building? I’m thinking we should come up with some Modern AU Middle-earth Car Makes/Models and toss them out into the world for folks to use freely in their stories.

For instance, a rugged but light-weight off-road vehicle (a jeep, maybe, or something like a jeep?) called the Ranger.

Then there should be some kind of Hobbitish ATV/four-wheeler for trundling around the Shire, especially Tookland...maybe called something like a Smial Wheeler? Or a Tookland Rumbler? idk

Rohan should have something like that too. Maybe call it a Mark-wheeler? A UTV/SSV design might be better for Rohan actually, even more rugged. Heck, maybe even give them the occasional Unimog if you want.

And there definitely ought to be some kind of Haradrim Sandrail...

What about the Baggins Adventurevan, a Hobbit-sized campervan in which one can go on an adventure in proper comfort?

The Tunneler, a Landrover-type car made by (and sized for) Dwarves?

I’m sure folks who know more about cars than I do can come up with more and better ideas, so please don’t be shy!

Royal Rumble Marathon: 1992

The Royal Rumble marathon continues into 1992.

Spoilers for past Rumbles…

The undercard:

The Orient Express vs the New Foundation.

We see footage of the Mountie defeating Bret Hart. The commentators noted Bret wrestled with a high fever and is now out with the flu. I’m assuming Bret was sick as it would be an odd choice to change the title on a house show three days before Bret’s advertised match against the Mountie at the Royal Rumble. Roddy comes to Bret’s defense and will take his place against the now-champion Mountie.

The Mountie vs Roddy Piper. Roddy gets a huge reaction. Roddy wins his only WWF/E title when he defeats the Mountie.

The Bushwhackers (with Jamison) vs the Beverly Brothers (with the Genius). This re-watch marathon is bringing back memories of performers I haven’t thought of in decades. Jamison? That’s a blast from the past. If you’re too young to remember Jamison, think of a nerdy Rick Moreno type combined with a dash of the “Eugene” gimmick.

The Legion of Doom vs the Natural Disasters. Last year at the Rumble, Tugboat was helping Hogan fight Earthquake, now he calls himself Typhoon and has formed a tag team with Earthquake. I recommend the “Dark Side of the Ring” episode on Earthquake, it wasn’t “dark” per se but it was an interesting look at the man behind the gimmick. I never liked the Legion of Doom’s presentation in the WWF. The Road Warriors in the AWA/NWA were scary and intimidating. The team went to the WWF and their mystique/aura decreased by 75%.

Sean Mooney interviews a newly-turned Shawn Michaels with footage from the infamous Barbershop attack on Marty Janetty. The Rockers break-up has to be one of the all-time heel turns.

Hype vignettes before the Rumble: Flair, Savage, Sid Justice, Repo Man, Davey Boy, Jake Roberts, Undertaker, Hogan,

Marty Janetty and Nasty Boy Knobbs have lost their spots in the Royal Rumble due to injuries (though I think Janetty’s was in-storyline only as this took place a week after Shawn sent Marty through the barbershop window). Nikolai Volkoff and Haku will take their spots.

For the first time the Rumble has a point as this year the winner will become the WWF World heavyweight champion. If I remember correctly, the title was vacated/held up due to a Hogan/Undertaker storyline.

The entrants in order of appearance:

Davey Boy Smith

Ted DiBase (accompanied by Sherri Martel)

Ric Flair (accompanied by Mister Perfect)

Nasty Boy Sags

Haku

Shawn Michaels

“El Matador” Tito Santana (Such a lame gimmick for Tito)

The Barbarian

Kerry Von Erich

Repo Man (formerly known as Smash of Demolition) It’s a silly gimmick but I love it

Greg “The Hammer” Valentine

Nikolai Volkoff

Big Boss Man

Hercules

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper

Jake “the Snake” Roberts

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

IRS (Mike Rotunda)

“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka

The Undertaker

“Macho Man” Randy Savage

The Berzerker (John Nord)

Virgil

Iron Sheik (referred to as Mustafa, accompanied by Adnan)

Rick “the Model” Martel

Hulk Hogan

Skinner (Steve Keirn)

Sgt Slaughter

Sid Justice

The Warlord (accompanied by Slick)

Flair wins the Rumble to become the new world champion. Hogan is the worst babyface ever – he has a hissy when Sid eliminates him from the Rumble, helps Flair eliminate Sid from the Rumble after his own elimination, and then chases Flair from the ring so he can’t celebrate his victory. Hogan continues to have a hissy at Sid. I never liked Hogan as a child and rewatching his storylines as an adult I can understand why all his “frends” eventually turn on him. He sucks!

Only the first two entrants received entrance music. Managers were allowed to accompany their charges to ringside but could not remain in the area (the WWF flip flops on whether managers could remain at ringside during the early years ).

First time Rumblers: Ric Flair, Nasty Boy Sags, IRS, Berzerker, Virgil, Skinner, Sid Justice

Highlights: Heenan having a panic attack the length of the Rumble over the possibility of Flair’s elimination, Flair’s performance, Savage accidentally eliminates himself but Taker throws him back in to continue in the Rumble. Flair sets a new endurance record for the Rumble

March to Wrestlemania: Hogan and Sid have their confrontation to set up their Wrestlemania match.

Wrestlers and others who have passed on: Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan, Howard Finkel, Mr. Fuji, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart (we have six deceased individual within 5 minutes of the event starting), Lord Alfred Hayes, Roddy Piper, “The Genius” Lanny Poffo, Bushwhacker Butch, the Legion of Doom, Earthquake, Mean Gene Okerlund, “Mister Perfect” Curt Henning, Paul Bearer, Jack Tunney, Davey Boy Smith, Sherri Martel, Kerry Von Erich, Nikolai Volkoff, Big Boss Man, Hercules, Jimmy Snuka, Joey Marella, Virgil, Iron Sheik, Adnan.

Total number of deceased performers: 28, passing the previous Rumble by seven.

Rating: 8 out of 10

More Motorcity X Pixar Cars Stuff

Was too lazy to digitally color everybody. I did have a design for AJ, Rayon, Thurman, The Oracle, Ruby, and Jenzen, but I think I lost them.

Some design notes:

-Kane is based on his roadster from Vega

-Tooley is a Maru (Planes 2) Styled Forklift

-Tennie, The Duke, Red, Bracket, Foxy, Junior, and Jacob are based on their own cars

-Babs/No. 2 is based loosely on Finn McMissile's early design from Cars 1

-Kaia is now a Road Rumbler/Road Warrior-styled car with military plane wings on her back to reference the wings from Mayhem Night

-Claire is a sports car.

Anyone I missed?

Royal Rumble Marathon: 1995

Time for the 1995 Royal Rumble.

Spoilers for past Rumbles.

We open with the arrival of Pamela Anderson and the wrestlers acting like horndogs.

The undercard:

Razor Ramon vs Jeff Jarrett (accompanied by the Roadie (Road Dog) for the Intercontinental title. Jarrett wins by count out but demands the match be continued. Jarret wins the continued match and becomes the new Intercontinental title.

IRS (Mike Rotunda, accompanied by Ted DiBase) vs the Undertaker (accompanied by Paul Bearer. Taker wins but is attacked by two “druids” and King Kong Bundy after the match. IRS kidnaps the urn and runs off.

Bret Hart vs Diesel for the WWF championship. Lawrence Taylor is at ringside. Shawn Michaels enters the ring and attacks Diesel, but the ref doesn’t call for a disqualification and orders the match to continue. Shortly afterwards, Owen interferes, and the ref again orders the match to continue. A ref bump has allowed Shawn, Owen Bob Backlund, Jeff Jarrett, and the Roadie to return to the ring and attack both participants. The ref declares the match a draw. Sure. This match was almost as overbooked as the Yoko-Taker match from last year. Did Vince not trust Diesel to last in a longish match so he threw multiple wrestlers in it to extend the match? Bret and Diesel hug and shake hands after the match.

Todd perves on a changing Pamela Anderson. Remember, we are only two years away from the Attitude era. Jerry also perves on Pamela.

Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka (accompanied by Ted DiBase) vs Bob “Spark Plug” Holly and the 1-2-3 Kid (Sean Waltman) in the finals of the Tag Team championship tournament. Bam Bam continues his streak of uninspiring Rumble matches. Bigelow gets into with Laurence Taylor at ringside, setting up their Wrestlemania match.

Highlights from the 1994 Rumble match, with emphasis on Diesel’s elimination streak. We go to Shawn for comments, and he notes the cameraman missing him eliminating Diesel from the ’94 Rumble.

Pamela is introduced as the guest hostess of the Rumble. Jerry continues to perv on Pamela which is forewarning of the non-stop “puppies” commentary we will have to endure for years.

The entrants, in order of appearance:

Shawn Michaels

Davey Boy Smith

Eli Blu, ½ of the Blu Brothers

Duke “the Dumpster” Drose

Jimmy Del Rey ½ of the Heavenly Bodies

Sione (the Barbarian) of the Headshrinkers, accompanied by Captain Lou Albano

Dr. Tom Prichard, ½ of the Heavenly Bodies

Doink (accompanied by Dink)

Kwang

Rick “the Model” Martel

Owen Hart (Bret attacks Owen on his way to the ring – payback’s a bitch, Owen)

Timothy Well

Bushwhacker Luke

Jacob Blu, ½ of the Blu Brothers

King Kong Bundy

Mo, ½ of Men On A Mission

Mable of Men On A Mission

Bushwhacker Butch

Lex Luger

Mantaur

Aldo Montoya (Justin Credible)

Henry Godwin

Billy Gunn

Bart Gunn

Bob Backlund (Bret Hart returns to beat up Backlund at ringside)

Steven Dunn (accompanied by Harvey Wippleman)

Dick Murdoch

Adam Bomb

Fatu of the Headshrinkers

Crush

Nothing was announced about a shortened time between entrants, but I feel that has to be the case as the wrestlers are coming in at a very fast pace.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Quickest elimination: Mo

Big Man Face Off: Mable vs King Kong Bundy

First-time Rumblers: Eli Blu, Duke “the Dumpster” Drose, Jimmy Del Rey, Dr. Tom Prichard, Timothy Well, Jacob Blu, King Kong Bundy, Mantaur, Aldo Montoya, Henry Godwin, Billy Gunn, Bart Gunn, Steven Dunn, Dick Murdoch

A better Rumble than the previous year. Bret saved the undercard and Shawn and Davey made the Rumble. I’m already over pervy Lawler commentary and we haven’t even started the Attitude Era yet!

Wrestlers and other who have passed on: Mabel (Visera), Captain Lou Albano, Razor Ramon, Paul Bearer, Pat Patterson, Owen Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, Howard Finkel, Davey Boy Smith, Jimmy Del Rey, Bushwhacker Luke, Timothy Well, Mantaur, Crush, Steven Dunn

Total number of deceased individuals: 15 (down 2 from the previous Rumble)

JELLY ROLL - "HALFWAY TO HELL"

Our highest-scoring single to date from any artist threatened by Waffle House...

[4.40]

Taylor Alatorre: Whitsitt Chapel is a solid album, but "Halfway to Hell" is something a teacher might put on the overhead projector to illustrate how not to write a thesis statement. "Webster's Dictionary defines 'backsliding' as..." and so forth. The single spells out its themes with such unvarying bluntness that it feels like an ill-fated attempt to clone the entire album in miniature. It's understandable that an erstwhile Memphis rap understudy would want to sand down his pill-popping, sizzurp-sipping past in order to meet his big Nashville moment; we wouldn't be writing about him otherwise. But when you start a song off with such a beguiling audio fragment of a Baptist sermon at the outer edges of the universe, then smother it in the cradle with a bunch of Mad Lib dualisms and Truck Month theatrics, the calculated inoffensiveness threatens to actually offend. [4]

Andrew Karpan: Another somewhat singular creature of country music's endless push for authenticity, this time produced by the same label as Jason Aldean, with a kind of dirtbag grit that would make Post Malone blush. Which is to say that it's a record that creaks and growls — often convincingly — but to what end? [4]

Alfred Soto: Decent rumbler halfway between Eric Church and Mumford and Sons. If I'm honest with myself, Morgan Wallen's done this rue-on-a-Sunday better of late.  [5]

Nortey Dowuona: Zach Crowell was part of the production crew that made Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road." He was also part of the production team of "Kinfolks." So in theory, he should be able to produce a barn-burning gospel country record, but instead he produces a thinly rendered WWE parody of such. The problem is at first the drumkit. The kick pattern of the first verse is solid, allowing Jelly to take hold in the mix, swell up during the pre-chorus, and soar into the chorus itself. But the loud snare smacks in the second verse and chorus distract from the banal lyrics; the line about a chariot carrying him away is the only one that's compelling. You could never tell this man has actually survived the reality of dancing between sin and salvation because the production is neither lush and glossy enough to carry him away, not rough enough to sweep him into hell. Which makes me think: Where's the Zach Crowell who produced "2016"? [4]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: This is such a WWE entrance theme banger – I'm finding it hard to critique without imagining flamethrowers and dramatic ring walk spectacle. What do you even do with something this overwrought when you just hear it on the radio or in a playlist? [6]

Mark Sinker: This guy takes the first two-thirds of jazz co-inventor Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe’s very well-known stage name and fuses it with maybe-unmeant echoes of AC/DC / Chris Rea title-fu. As a mode of faith, this should (by the demands of its expressed content) be more generic in form than not, that to believe is to be one of billions in similar plight, while the One that’s truly Original and Particulate is the Inexpressible Object of the Belief… and so all along the lines, until it rides off into its wide-open infinite expanse of many-times-heard-before reverb. And counter this, a reason not to concern-troll an entire religion is that any church with actual-real riz will be divided against itself.  [4]

Oliver Maier: Jelly Roll nooo stop you're not supposed to drink the holy water!! Noooo he can't hear me over the terrible mix!!!! Jelly Roll NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! [2]

Ian Mathers: I've been re-reading Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series recently, where (among many other things) the future setting has in its past a series of religious wars so terrifying that by the time of the books it's illegal to proselytize. You can believe whatever you want and discuss it with your personal religious counselor, but making it any kind of cultural signifier, let alone ammunition in any kind of cultural conflict, is absolutely taboo. The setting is an interestingly fraught mix between a utopia and a dystopia, but I gotta admit, the whole "don't talk about religion" bit sits pretty easily with me these days. [3]

Isabel Cole: Maybe it’s my choirgirl past talking, but “this little light of mine / damn near burned me alive” is a delightful piece of cheeky blasphemy. The rest of the song isn’t terrible, but nothing else feels as specific or as evocative as that. The chorus has some potentially decent ideas that are washed out by the mix into an undifferentiated wind of wailing, and the production refuses to entertain any kind of dynamism. (It feels like a very basic expectation for the song to drop more dramatically before the explosion into the final chorus, but it just… doesn’t….) Jelly Roll, meanwhile, hits his marks fine, but he never sounds like a man condemned, unless your idea of hell is a particularly divey karaoke bar. [5]

Brad Shoup: "This little light of mine/damn near burned me alive" is a nice contribution to the dirtbag hymnal. But it's buried in a mudslide of the hoariest crazy/beautiful imagery: booze and Bible verses, angels and devils, self-destruction and salvation. It's twanged out but has the overdrive of hair metal, with a light disco shuffle. The result is not unlike a 2010s Carrie Underwood crossover, but with a lot less fear of God. [5]

Katherine St. Asaph: Is one snippet of a sermon really enough to summon hellfire unto a song? Perhaps not, but who else is trying? [7]

TA Inskeep: Quit bellowing, man. As much as I hate invoking these names, this is (Kid Rock rapping) x (Nickelback’s guitars) + banjo, and it = nothing I need or want to hear again. [2]

Hannah Jocelyn: I liked "Need a Favor" more than I should have -- it's definitely a dirge, but I would have given it a [6] for the part of me that enjoyed listening to Nickelback as a mini-Hannah. This doesn't work, though it does answer the long-pressing question of "what if Rascal Flatts wasn't even a little bit of fun?". [4]

Dave Moore: For a few moments during this I'm transported to the glorious few months of Big 'n' Rich's alt-weekly champions and ensuing message board conversations, which was the last time anything I'd have to say about hip-hop and country might have sounded even remotely fresh. Accordingly, this feels about twenty years too stale, though I'm happy enough for Jelly Roll's success. [5]

Daniel Monteshenko: Sure, it sounds like a rousing song for the antagonist to sing in act two of a critically derided Broadway jukebox musical. Yup, it's as clichéd as any song you've ever heard mention hard liquor, the Cross and "mama." Of course the title's reverse SEO'd to capture unknown AC/DC fans. And you know it's overproduced, airless and a product of the loudness wars. But damnit, that's a hell (heh) of a chorus. [6]

(My debatable attempt at drawing) the chieftess from Cars on the Road: Road Rumblers, but a dragoness

[fishstickfeind]

imagine the road rumblers episode but the gangsters are pirates

The tmnt/rottmnt phases I have gone through have caused me to gain a silly appreciation for pirate AUs or just dressing up as pirates for some silly situation so I will gladly imagine this

Pirates are cool as heck and theres so many ideas that can be played with and I think it’s great

We all know you’re just doin this so you can imagine cheiftess with a weapon /lh/j

It looks like this and yes my husband designed the tire too and it's off-road though it has a particular grip that goes over trees and rocks and doesn't slide as much and it's been years of research others are doing and it is this wide and it does look very similar except for the tread and the bike is configured in a very similar way too

Hera Zues

And it's also a fat bear but we're going to call it the Rambler, and we have a quad and we'll call that the Rumbler, and a four wheeler with roll cage they call that the Rampage.

What issuing them now and they're awesome they go they going snow they going ice they go up the tree trail with trees and rocks and it has suspension you can go on some pretty big rocks and Rocky trails it'll go right up that flume trail our sun heights in Appalachia up that mountain yes any which one you want to choose the bike the quad or the roll case vehicle and we sell to those one for one person and one for two people they're awesome okay and they have great suspension and a great motor it's real powerful to turn the tire and for sand it's one of the best sand vehicles I've ever seen in my life it floats across the top and can hit top speeds of about 180 stock you put the performance kit it goes like 220 on the on the sand and yeah the light cycle off-road vehicle has similar tires it's pretty much the idea and it's by Briggs & Stratton and we'll get into the name

Thor Freya

We're going to modify them for a friend to ride around in and he knows how to drive it with the pedals and everything

Pune's 48-Car Accident Caused By An Engine Switched Off On A Slope

The Pune truck crash on Sunday, which led to a massive pile-up of vehicles on the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway, was caused due to its driver switching off its engine on a bridge slope, said police. Two people, including the truck's driver, were arrested after the incident. The truck had hit several vehicles on the Navale bridge slope in Pune on Sunday. At least 24 vehicles were damaged as the accident led to a 48-vehicle pile-up on the highway stretch. Besides, at least 30 people were injured and several of them had to be hospitalized.

Truck driver Maniram Yadav and his assistant Lalit Yadav, both from Madhya Pradesh, were arrested from Pimpri Chinchwad near Pune, said Inspector Shailesh Sankhe.

The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Motor Vehicles Act, cops said.

A preliminary probe by the transport office indicates that the driver might have switched off the truck's engine on the slope, said Sunil Pawar, Assistant Commissioner of Police. Switching off the engine affects the braking ability of a vehicle and that's why the truck might have crashed into vehicles on the slope, he added.

The truck, from Tamil Nadu, was heavily loaded, said police.

It had first rammed into some vehicles that went further hitting other vehicles on their way, leading to the pile-up, said a man whose car was damaged.

Meanwhile, police and civic officials, and officials from the National Highway Authority of India met yesterday to chalk out measures to prevent such accidents in the future.

City police commissioner Amitabh Gupta said accident figures had dipped in the last six months, but after Sunday's incident, the officials discussed whether to implement more measures on the spot, such as reducing road gradient on the stretch and putting rumblers (grooves or indents).

Since 2018, at least 31 people have died in 108 accidents on two adjacent patches on the Navale Road, according to Pune Police data.

Cars on the Road Thoughts, Part 3.

Episodes 7 - 9. Again, spoilers below the cut.

McQueen the massive nerd continues to be a delight. Who knew he was a sci-fi/horror fan?

CGI. “It comes out of a computer somehow.” - McQueen

McQueen can’t act.

Favorite background character from B-Movie: Les, the grumpy screenwriter.

Honestly, the zombie alien car movie musical looks like a blast.

Alright, Cars Mad Max is up next. I’m ready to meet that badass lady you’re all raving about.

“If this is navigatin’, then I’m a Tesla pickup!” - Mater.

Points for pageantry, indeed!

Okay I love her now.

I kind of ship the ice cream truck with the queen car.

The blue wagon-looking guy is so cute. I need a diecast of him.

Wedding up next! Let’s goooooo!

What’s the drama with Mater’s sister?

Oh SHIT, they’re rich!

Wait, Cruz’s cousin is marrying Mater’s sister?! How did they meet? I need answers!

Mato drives backwards too! I wonder if Mater learned it from her.

Mato and Mateo are cute together <3

Cruz wins at everything.

Final Thoughts: Really charming, enjoyable series with fun worldbuilding and some new characters I’m already in love with. I’m curious to see where they’ll go next if we get a Season Two.
