I think that Gordo was a member of "The Flying Burrito Brothers" in a former life. Country: USA | Posts: 867 Ray Dunakin Crew Chief Posted - 05/21/2012 :  12:11:08 AM       Great story, Verne! "...a smoking crater behind." That also describes Gordo's backside after the explosion! Dallas, love the "finger-pulling" sign!

Teaspoon, I think Gordo WAS the original Flying Burrito Brother! Ray, he looks darn good in that last photo considering what he went through...maybe he wears that special flame-proof nomex that race car drivers wear? Andy, there will indeed be more stories, thanks for your interest!

Once I picked myself up off the floor after laughing so hard, I realized it would be fun to share some of the FRIJOLENE marketing strategies - both the homerun hits and the blunders. Here are a few simple ideas to add to your great visual: FRIJOLENE: Release the Bean! Or how about a series of signs, like the old Burma Shave ads: It started with a CRATER... and still there's nothing GREATER! The power of the BEAN... Insist on FRILOLENE! Any other ideas? Bueller? Bueller?

Burma Shave style: Beans, beans the magical fruit the more you eat the more you toot the bigger the toot the better the bean only the BEST make FRIJOLENE start of another (join in!): The rumbling sound that shook the ground ... and making something about the "joyous" sound of a band of butt trumpets playing a joyful song that illuminated the whole town ... I think I'd better go do some work or something now ... this is warping my brain! (Of course, the first time I fart while working, I'll think of a new slogan.)

Holy Frijole that heavenly sound unleashed a fuel that lit the whole town No need for excuses silence or shame but always be CAREFUL when lighting a FLAME!
