perfidy

Keith at Sortapundit is gearing up to do the very dumbest fun thing I've ever heard of: drive the Mongol Rally. Participants must first donate a bunch of money to Send a Cow, a charity that, erm, Sends Cows to needy African families, and then drive from the west coast of Europe to Ulaan Bataar in Eastern Mongolia in a car with a total engine displacement of less than 1000ccs or less. Which is tiny, especially for the mountains and deserts of central Asia while pursued by enraged highwaymen in CIA surplus white SUVs waving AK-47s.

So, he's got the tin cup out and is rattling it around and why not head over there, read up on the stupid hijinks this moron Brit is cooking up, and kick in a fivespot or so to help him cover the costs. And maybe buy him a helmet.

[wik] Buckethead adds: I have been offered a place in the boot of their car. I have to supply my own beer, though. I don't think they realize that the combined weight of a moderately large Buckethead and his beer supply would have a deleterious effect on a 1000cc engine's ability to accelerate on anything but a downhill pitch.
