There are many brave, intrepid souls which grace society with things that can't but help to be described as awesome. Or are so awesomely bad that they defy all logic. Observations in Awesomeness is our attempt to better understand and examine all that is mind-blowing in this world.
Observations in Awesomeness: NASCAR Fan with Deer's Head
A firsthand run-in from the weekend. The scene: Kansas Speedway Qualifying Day, Friday, September 26th. This nice gentlemen was attempting to enter the racetrack through the infield gates. Carrying with him a deer's head. The flabbergasted Security folks would not allow him enter with it. He disputed (correctly) that a stuffed carcass of a dead animal was not on the list of banned items. I don't really think they had a true valid reason to not allow him to bring in the animal other than 'this makes no sense' or 'those antlers might put pose an inherent threat to the eyeballs of the intoxicated track patrons.'
However, it did exceed the size regulations of a 6"x6"x12" soft-sided cooler which you are allowed to bring in (and which conveniently holds 12 beers). Had the deer's head been hollowed out and served as a receptacle for said 12 beers this would have made this man the ingenius and awesome person at the track all weekend. As it was, the exact intention for bringing in the animal is unknown. I'd like to think that perhaps that nice buck was once a beloved family pet who was a huge NASCAR fan and his dying wish before meeting his unfortunate fate at the front grill hands of a Chevrolet was to finally witness a race in person. Of all the awesomeness witnessed in a weekend at the track, this by far was the best.
