I was expecting a pic of you, some sailors, a shower, a stick of butter...




















...oh, nevermind! Glad I was wrong. :laughy: :rolly: :rotate:

[JHarris1385]

WTF. What is this about using butter for a fresh coat of wax?

[PHO2GR4]

I good coat of butter will help you slip through some of the more narrow canyon trails. I've seen un-buttered VXs get stuck between boulders, where a nice, greasy VX would have eased right past.

Hence Isuzu America's popular marketing line:

"Vehicross: I Can't Believe It's Not Buttered!"

[VX crazy]

Biju was 'leaking' butter! The knife puts a whole new twist on it though.... :eek:

[creeg]

I have no idea whats going on.

Here is it explain on another post




After going up entrance to Elephant hill we had to call a stop because sevral people thought biju aka. BUTTERS was leaking gas. Bottomed out or what have you. After further investigation some thougth it was speaker fluid. (I dunno just what I heard someone shout out.) Well The culprit was busted little butter containers. Kinda liek the ones you get from Grandy's. Now why he was hording them back there we may never know.


he claims he used it for a fresh coat of Wax.


it was about the funniest moment and a memorable one I will never forget. So glad I was there to witness it.


May have been one of those you had to been there

LMFAO! So funny...

On elephant hill - towards the beginning of the trail - Gill and a few others notice some fluid leaking generously out of the rear of my VX. The fluid was leaking under the rear door cladding and down onto the gas tank cover, etc.

I jump out of the vx in a sheer panic ready to tell everyone to clear out as I kept hearing, "You have gas leaking from the back of your VX". The Dude blurts out, "It's amp fluid". Another follows from someone else, "It's speaker fluid". Confused and scared as hell I open the rear where I'm keeping all my equip for the day: wrenches, fire extinguisher, tow strap, oil.... GOT IT! It must be my quart of Royal Purple leaking!!! Inspect the quart... nope. Not it. I proceed to pull out everything stuffed away in the rear door to seek the culprit.

F#ck. You guessed it. It's butter. And it's melting down the inside of my rear door faster than you can say, well, 'butter'. Leaking all the way down, out drain holes, and onto the outside of my VX.

Mind you, now that the fear of it being gas clears the air - Gill's buddy yells out, "Hahahha... BUTTERS!" Dub followed by repeating. Next VX'er, Next VX'er, and so on.... until I had to endure the nickname the rest of the trip. I figure, no problem. I can handle it.

However, now the EVEN MORE embarassing part. Why did you have butter in your VX, biju? I have no idea. No REAL explanation that had any credible sense to it. Truth is, while packing lunch I ended up stuffing 10 - 14 small travel size containers of MARGARINE up on the small metal tray in our rear doors (just below where the rear half-moon attaches.) NOT THINKING AT ALL ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN A HOT HOT DESERT and they needed to be IN the cooler! *sigh.

A few hours later they do what butter does best in the heat. they melted, and exploded open from the heat causing the 'incident'.

I'll have to buy a new rear door from merlin now. you all know i can't have melted butter in the crevasses of my rear door I can't clean!!

enjoy.

-beeej.

p.s. - somebody has pictures of me holding the bag of melted butter cups as I tried to clean the rear door. I think there's also a sound bite floating around out there... tooo freaking funny. good times. good times....

[ZEUS]

I thought for sure the nickname came from the culmination of your screen name and the fact you own a yellow VX!


"Butters... huhuh... that's me..." :p

You are doomed to this for awhile, I'm afraid!

[JHarris1385]

Man that is hilarious.
Wish I was there to witness that.
Why did have all those butters on your cargo?

Also I am the one with the sound clip. you were trying to make it up and obsticle and ray said "come on butters" *a pause* then you said "ITS MARGARINE"

since was on my camera sound quality not very well so I am going to have a friend help me with sound and take sound bit from video and up it so you can hear it.

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, does anyone else have pics from that or am I the only one? I was sitting right there with my camera and I don't remember if there was anyone else snapping shots or taking video of the incident. I do think however that there may be a few moments on my EH video where I hear various people yelling "Go Butters", etc! I haven't finished editing yet...

That nickname my friend will be with you FOREVER! We will never let you live it down. Your grandchildren will be asking, " why grandpa, why do all these strange people in these strange vehicles call you,...butter's?" My only questsion was it the unsalted kind? or are you going to be a salty dog.

[TexVeX]

I was enjoying the fun yet I wasn't getting the full pleasure of the tale due to the "you had to be there" factor, till I read the part where someone told about someone else saying "come on butters" and biju replied "ITS MARGARINE". Then I laughed out loud. heheh

[biju]

That nickname my friend will be with you FOREVER! We will never let you live it down.
