Yeah, given that I own a new white Ford pickup truck,[this little surprise](http://www.minotdailynews.com/daily/FMPro?-DB=page.one.a.fp5&-lay=main&-Format=detail.html&story_one.fix=8/29/2002-1&-Max=1&-Find) would warm my heart in the morning. . . I swear, first the Dakrats are [blowing up transformers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=129835) , and now spontaneously combusting pickup trucks are rolling cruise missiles. What the hell is next? Ya know what, I don’t care. Just get me the hell out of Minot. :rolleyes: Tripler I swear **lurkernomore** , I had _nothing_ to do with this one. ---

Idle hands are the tools of the devil, but a brick makes a truck idle faster. The answer is simple. Bricks must be immediately banned in Minot. ---

It’s called [Silver Flag](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127948), and it’s down at Tyndall AFB, in Florida. Tripler Well, it wasn’t the location. It was the getting there that sucked.
