Don't worry! Those plastic cones and nylon rope will stop an out of control car from killing anyone.

Of course it's dangerous, but if those people are willing to stand there then they have to be willing to deal with the potential consequences...just like people who stand on the side of a dirt road at a rally race or illegal street drags...

It's sponsored by BELLVUE TOURS.....What could possibly go wrong?

Besides, if KEN BLOCK can do it, so can this guy.....but I surely wouldn't be volunteering my efforts standing still for the unpredictable.

I could never understand the expression,..."just saying".

Does it mean the words are being spoken, but there is no thought behind it?

Thank you!

That link you supplied, puts that cultural colloquialism in perspective.
