Laying Coal

I like to think I'm not as ignorant as I used to be back in high school and parts of college.  I also like to think that one of the things I've been able to develop more of is compassion.  That being said, this stuff is just hilarious.

This was introduced to me by my friend Bill, who recently purchased an F-250 Turbo Diesel, as seen on one of my prior posts.  He's going to convert it to run on fry oil within the year; that way we can scorn at Prius drivers for being so ecologically irresponsible.  Anyway, with a turbo diesel, when you mash the gas and the engine revs up, but before the turbo kicks in, the engine spews a bunch of exhaust out the back.  Some rednecks' trucks emit huge clouds of it.  Said hayseeds refer to it as "laying coal" among other things. 

I don't have anything against bicyclists on the road (accept when they're on a two lane road with a 45mph limit, going 25mph, side by side so they can chat while cars have to cross the double yellow, risking life and limb with oncoming traffic).  So maybe I do sometimes.  Check out this clip from the web.  Some yokel took laying coal and went professional with it.  Deadly accuracy - hysterical!
