#Glen Wood

[wheelsgoroundincircles]

It all started at a NASCAR race at Darlington, when Ford approached Glen Wood and asked him if he’d help out with the effort in the 500. Wood was taken aback by a request from Ford Motor Company to have the team from the remote Virginia foothills, with no open-wheel racing experience, be a part of the Indianapolis 500. Glen said his initial response: “Are you kidding?”

Leaving no stone unturned and recognizing the opportunity to use lightning-quick pit stops to their advantage, the Ford folks weren’t kidding, and being as loyal to the Blue Oval as they were, Glen and Leonard were off to Indy. After building a relationship with a group of racers they’d never met, the Woods set to work on the fueling system they’d use on race day. Working with Ford engineers the race team had developed a fuel tank that had a giant venturi inside. The principle was simple, and time-proven. It’s the same device that allows fuel and air to flow quickly through a carburetor and makes airplanes fly. The Woods knew it would work.

The Woods also prepared for tire changes during the race, sanding and filing on the wheels and hubs and practicing tire swaps. But that tire work turned out to be unnecessary, as Clark ran the entire 500 on the same set of tires -- an impressive feat in and of itself. Nevertheless, the lasting contribution of the team from the remote Virginia foothills that Ford invited to Indianapolis is the art of today’s seconds-long pit stops and the tactical advantage they provide.

Cinema publicity for movies and serials starring Lyle Talbot

Cool little fact, Talbot was the first actor to play live action versions of the DC comic book characters Lex Luthor and Commisioner James Gordon.

Talbot was one of the founding members of the screen actors guild.

He was also a regular of infamous schlock auteur director Edward D. Wood Jr.

i cannot believe people actually find glen powell attractive. he's just so bland to me. he's like if you put chace crawford through like 8 rounds of bland white guy AI photo sharpening. i look at that man and i feel nothing. he's like the celebrity equivalent of béchamel sauce. i firmly believe he was created in a lab to be a human content farm à la sev'ral timez

Nach dem Weihnachts-Hamlet nun auch den Silvester-Hamlet gesehen. Welch ein Fest!!

Chrissy richtig kaputt aber trotzdem durchgezogen. Ganz zappelig und auf Autopilot. Glenn fliegt über den Mikrophonständer und bricht sich fast das Genick (meine Hand ist zu meinem Mund gefahren, ich habe alles an mir vorbei ziehen sehen). Uwe hatte in der Pause seinen Maus Moment und hat ganz allein irgendwas gegessen (ich hoffe es hat ihm geschmeckt).

Hot take: Er war heute schon im Nathanael Modus.

Heute auch erst gecheckt, dass Laertes am Ende Polonius Anzug trägt. Took me 6 times lol.

unhinged aah history dream I had last night

for some reason, in this dream, I was a 34 year old man living in Ancient Greece named Wallis with a jet black beard and some muscular aah legs, and I had a ginger haired brother named Cornelius (he looked like if amazing rope guy had a glow up)

and basically, I disowned Cornelius for being to annoying when I was 15 in the dream , and we were no longer on speaking terms for some reason, and we had the most Disney ending ever, it was like near the ending of encato where Bruno meets his ma again or something idk 💀

but we worked this job where we had to scavenger for wood planks and rocks in the city states Sparta, Athens, and Troy, in which the boss was a buff version of both Robert tubing from wordgirl and William dafoe 😭

half way through the dream, Tim, tj, and sally botford, as well as dr two brains, glen furlblam, Timmy timbo, the coach, and Chazz from word girl were in California as a meet up, to go visit Ancient Greece. As I am now in the pov of dr two brains, we travel to New Orleans from a magical flat escalator or something, and then we take a several day trip (walking on foot)to Canada , and on the way there, we had to share a single hotel room for some reason

after several days in the dream world, we make it to Canada, where there is a magical portal that takes us back to Ancient Greece, and we hop in.

as we are now in Ancient Greece, dr two brains sees Steven boxleitner, and they have one of those old western stand offs, accept apparently, d2b has schizophrenia in the dream, so you see both in dr two brain’s pov and Sally’s pov where dr two brains is saying “this town ain’t big enough for the both of us” in a southern accent, while gripping a revolver, talking to absolutely no one

anyways, two brains’s hallucination goes away, and he placed a magical box in the middle of Greece, that does nothing, and nothing happens, but anyone who hears about it or comes across it has to put in a passcode for no reason.

I am back into the pov of Wallis again, and I refuse to put in a passcode to see what happens, and dr two brains is screaming “AAAAAAHAGH THERE ARE RATS IN MY BRAIN AAAHAHAG” in which he is being dragged away like a toddler by sally, and Timmy timbo is only speaking Hebrew now, and he is striking up conversations at random Greek people in Hebrew. anyways, the travelers leave, and about 6 months pass by before the Romans take over, and we die for some reason. Also, the Roman’s were literally just a bunch of will woods marching in unison with the helmets and armor on (the Roman will wood army had a New Zealand accent for some reason)

I was so confused when I woke up, because I was genuinely convinced that I was this middle aged Greek guy that was getting conquered by the Romans for a solid 5 minutes 💀
