  3. Elon Musk uses the term RUD for Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly when it happenes to a rocket. Fits here just as well.

  4. And this, boys and girls, is why you don't begrudge the cost of those blower restraint straps.

  5. "Unscheduled Energy Release"? That's not what my girlfriend calls it.

    1. That's not a double A fueler, it's a funny car. The engines are in the front
      as they have always been. They are now producing about 12,000 HP!

  8. Thank goodness for those safety straps, or he'd have that smokin' blower in his lap.

    1. The straps are mostly to protect the spectators. The driver
      would probably be better off if the blower were 100' in the air
      as that's where they went before the Kevlar straps.
