You, Sir, Are NOT Harry Crews' "Car"!

Back around 1973, I read Car, an interesting read by Harry Crews, thanks to the New Arrivals table at the good ole Bartlesville Public Library.
This was more than fifty years ago.  I remember the absurdity of the premise, that, for a stunt, a guy promised to eat (suitably reduced to pieces) an entire car.  I'm sure the book is full of insightful characters and sharp commentary on consumer society, but I remember none of that.

I was amused when trying to recall the book, to come across a wacky image produced by the semi-fallible Google.  You know when you enter a search term, off to the right you would see other supposedly helpful, supposedly related info?

Check out the illustrated "preview" of Harry Crews' Car.  Ummm, I don't think so!

See ya Thursday for more silliness!
