A Build Off?

Post by John Caves »

How about a "Great American B.A.T. Build-off". Between Dan, Matt,Bloke and Lee, the envelope should expanded to it's limit... coverage by A&E, TLC, or/and Discovery networks. Narration and color commentary by Rick Denney?

If it can be done with motorcycles, why not tubas?

What does everyone think?

I am liking that idea...... but only if we can have at least one father/son team who can argue constantly

a flaming lacquer job??

a chrome plated tuba?


hmmm the possibilities


Or how about having "Monster B.A.T." and you could have all those guys work together to build one......who would be a good host/leader though ?

Doesn't Bloke have a son to help build? Or take out the trash?

Can he grow a nasty looking mustache?

Awesome idea!
Where can I get the T-shirt?
I know I'm a little far but a friend of mine has designed a tubabell-adapted flame thrower. We'll be glad to sponsor that!

Bloke, you have now gone lower than I would have ever expected of you. Now that I am now completely grossed out....what more can be said?
I wasn't expecting a full moon tonight. And certainly, I didn't expect two of them.

Good point! For me, though, anything that involves a bikini-clad girl is unlikely to be too unpleasant.

Shoot, that's the easy part! A flipdown job on the back of the bell! Display the music on the right, the Simpson's on the left (for those long rests...)

Or, for Ray, here's a bikini girl:

The pimp my tuba thing would be sweet, just keep it away from the West Coast Customs guys, they'd take out the valveset and put in a DVD player.
