Vanner Stories !!! | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 476 addict | OP addict Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 476 | What's better than sitting around telling stories. I wanted to start a new thread just for vanner stories.
Anything funny or otherwise interesting that is van related. I can't believe there isn't a thread for this already. With so much time and experiences under everyone's belts there has to be some great times to share.
Guess I'll start off with the one my cousin told me that I said about in a different thread....
My cousin and a group of brothers were riding around in a van back in the day. Drinking a warm barrel of beer. They made a turn and the keg hit the side door and it fell open , there went the keg into the road. The one guy tried to grab it on the way out and went with the keg rolling into the road.Trucks and stuff coming at him and his brothers were just yelling "Turn the tap off a$$hole!"
Let's hear those tales from back in the days...... | | | Re: Vanner Stories !!! | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 9,428 Likes: 2 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 9,428 Likes: 2 | Ya know, I have a lot of great vannin stories.

I share the sentiment of getting your ass down to an eVANt campfire, and start listening

That would be missing. And I got to thinking how most people just can't write well. I've read some great articles and gut busting stories but they were written by writers.
Maybe a not so great idea. But thought others might be interested.
Definitely no offense taken from the comments, they were partly my own thoughts as well. But the topic somehow seemed missing in the forums.
Maybe I should hold my van hostage, tell some stories or I'm crushing it! LOL
Sorry, couldn't help myself. You know some stories we don't mind telling but would not WANT to have them in print! | | |
