Evel is as Evel does

I think I may have mentioned before that I was a HUGE Evel Kneival fan growing up.
I had Kneival sheets, pajamas, action figures, books... you name it. If it had those trademark blue and red stars and stripes on it my pulse would quicken and I had to have it.
In recent years Evel has gotten a little crotchety and mean. Kind of taking th mean-old-man-next-door telling kids to keep off his lawn.
However, when I read this today I think I kind of have to agree with him. Not just because I can't stand Kanye West.

"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.

West, 28, couldn't immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. The lawsuit asks for damages and seeks to halt distribution of the video.

I can't help feeling like somebody in Evel's camp gets a perverse pleasure from showing Evel things like this just knowing he's going to blow his stack.
That just seems more of a likely situation than Evel sitting there watching an MTV Road Rules Marathon and accidentally cathing a Kanye video.

I think a reasonable fix for this situation would be to require Kanye to jump the Snake River canyon in a rocket car for real.

Hey, if you're gonna talk the talk..

(I love how perpetually annoyed Evel looks in this picture. I think he punched the photographer after this was taken. Just kidding Evel. Please don't sue me.)
