" I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know."

Rollin' Coal... it's not just for the truck-minded descendants of the Dukes of Hazzard.



I just saw some video of the Islamic State (ISIS) where they were spinning donuts in what looked to be this kind of vehicle (above), or something very similar. An armored personnel carrier. And yeah--they were Rollin' Coal off and on, as the vehicle spun around.

Heh-heh, here it is :

Islamic State (ISIS) militants show off captured military equipment in Raqqa, Syria

Player window at top of report : Endure a 30 second (or less) commercial, which is followed by a one-minute video. A battle tank rolls by and then "the boys" enjoy spinning donuts and Rollin' Coal in an armored personnel carrier.

So they modified a captured military vehicle to make more smoke?

I doubt that. I guess you can get some pretty good black smoke out of that APC just by blipping the throttle. As the video demonstrates.

This is called "humor by appeal to the absurd". What could be more absurd than mischievously framing these Islamic radicals as if they were no more immediately threatening than some Americans who are more than just casually enthusiastic about their trucks? Call me nothing if not "media savvy". But I better digress, before I start giving away too many of my trade secrets.
