A Combination Of Classic Cars And A Classic Food . . . . .
Enthusiasts talk cars, doughnuts, life
"The beginnings
The event began with a handful of Huntington Beach residents. Their cars included a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, a 1931 Model A Ford, and 1957 Chevy Sedan Delivery.
The group would drink coffee and admire their cars, which began drawing a crowd.
"As time progressed, more guys saw the cars and started bringing their cars in and it had gone from the three of us to 200 or whatever," said Jim McCain, one of the founders.
The name Donut Derelicts was a natural for the pastry-loving group, McCain said.
"There were probably six or seven of us sitting around the table out in front of the doughnut shop," said McCain of how the name was coined. "These guys were old (curmudgeons) that cuss and smoke as old guys do. ... We were just nothing but a bunch of doughnut derelicts."
The Donut Derelicts name was consummated in 1989 when motor sports artist Rick Finn created a logo that is now sold on T-shirts and jackets."

Rachel Ray Tattoo REALLY?!?!?
Today’s question: exactly how many shots of vodka does one have to consume before getting a gigantic picture of Rachael Ray’s face tattooed on your right scapula starts to sound like a good idea? How many lonely nights must one spend alone with microwaved Hungry Man dinners and re-run episodes of 30 Minute Meals before the overwhelming urge to have Ray-Ray’s face emblazoned on your body becomes too strong to deny?
Yes, the tattoo is real, and yes, the New York woman who had it tattooed on her body is about as dumb as you’d expect. Here is a quote from “RayRayFan4Ever” explaining the reasoning behind the ink. Have fun counting the grammar and spelling errors (and let’s not even get into the syntax). I took the liberty of highlighting my favorite lines in red. Enjoy!
“YES people it is a real tattoo. I am the owner of that tat. Insted of slashing me with comments and thoughts how bout you hear why the tattoo was done? I understand people are titled to opinions which anybodys opinions dont bother me but anyway, I lost over 130lbs as of last year because of Rachael Ray. I made a bet with my cousin if I lost the weight I’d get a tattoo. So I did and Its the only tattoo I ever gotten so I wanted it to be memorable. As I got it done anytime I swore or said ouch me and my cousin thought it be cool to donate money to the YUMO organization and it was over 4000.00 so far. Rachael loved the tattoo infact so did her husband John. As I was leaving the bookstore in Syosset he invited me to come to his gig for his band in NYC so I got to party with the band and Rachael and her buddies. The Tattoo is meaningful, I known Rachael for 6 years almost 7 and because of her I wouldnt be where I am at today. So with that in mind I’d like to leave you all with a thought, Can you tell me one person famous that would take the time out of their day to talk to you, encourage you, and make you fell like a star yourself? I think NOT. Rachael is an amazing person on top of being busy and she gave me the time of day, she cares and to that yes, it is dedication, yes people that dont know the story may think its weird of creepy but all that matters is I like it, my family, friends, Rachael, her husband and everyone else Ive talked to.Yes feel free to express yourself but I assure you its for a good cause and it has meaning.”
