PrintWe'll have much, much more on the invitation-only non-Spring Game later tonight (initial reports are not good). For now, mad props to BHGPal Mike Hlas, who took this picture while stalking players' parents during the scrimmage*:
That's right, folks: It's the tailgate of the Chevy Blazer used to transport Casey McMillan. We say "transport" because, technically, Casey Mac rides in an electrically-charged 12-foot cage hitched to the back, while his handlers sit in the backseat, tranquilizer guns always at the ready. Fortunately, they have only had to use them once, when he climbed a tree in Missoula.
McMillan's parents are clearly humble. If our offspring killed grizzly bears with his hands and could peel the roof off our SUV like a pop-top of Chunky Soup, we'd have a far more descriptive custom plate:
Any other ideas? Montana license plate generator here, comments below.
* -- Actually, we've been laughing at the visual of Hlas walking around the parking lot, taking pictures of license plates like the FBI agents at the Corleone wedding at the beginning of The Godfather, only to have his camera destroyed by an angry, drunk Ken O'Keefe. Unfortunately, there aren't any good shots of that on Google Images for us to photoshop. Bastards.

I miss my Iowa license plate...
I had this for such a long time, then I had to move to Minnesota where they are dirty socialists.
I think I've seen this one driving around...

Winter hatin' on me cuz I'm colder than Y'all. And I will never, I will never, I will never Fall.

Dammit.
So this seems as good a time as any to ask: how exactly do you post a picture without using the html source?

I had to save mine and upload them onto another image hosting site.

This is the actual license plate on the 1919 Buick H45 driven by my great grandpa, who went by the name Howard Jones' Moustache Ride:

Are you trying to tell us
if you weren’t bored, you wouldn’t have posted that?

Maybe.
But more importantly, Metallica’s long hair stuff rules
