Southern Polytechnic State University (or simply Southern Tech) in Marietta is my alma mater. My father owned a tire shop in nearby Smyrna and once a year we would take a ride over to Southern Tech for a magical event…The Southern Tech Bathtub Races!

You know what is missing in this world? An amphibious Ford Bronco pontoon boat. Luckily somebody out there had the vision and the talent to create one: From what we can tell this amazing piece of engineering was the brain child of Werner Martinmaas, a prolific inventor with several tool and boat related patents.

Buster Keaton was no doubt the king of silent film comedy, but we think the ad execs were reaching a bit by wrangling him into doing this commercial. Regardless, what is awesome about […]
