2014-2015 TDC Winter Snard Competition

[Too Stroked]

As most of us are painfully aware, the winter of 2014-2015 is almost upon us. (Of course one hour west of me in Buffalo NY where they got 7 feet last week – somebody might disagree with the “almost” part.) But with each new winter comes opportunity. That’s right sports fans, it’s time once again for the fabulous annual TDC Snard Competition - a competition so prestigious that competitors from around the globe (or at least from around New Jersey) vie for the honor of winning the fabulous Golden Snard trophy. (It’s coated in not one, not two, but several layers of Rustoleum Gold spray paint.)

As the judges (Dave and I) sat down (at the bar) to discuss this year’s competition, there was only one question on our minds - Who farted? After much deliberation – similar in fact to the deliberations we go through each year – we decided it was Mike (Kitzy).

And it was with that breakthrough that we decided that the time was right to radically change this year’s competition. That’s right folks; it is with great pride (shame?) that we announce that cheating will be legalized this year. Sure, some (um, maybe me) have been charged (but never convicted) of cheating in the past. But I ask you, have you never seen a Great Stuff snard actually attached to a vehicle in the past? (Don’t answer that.) But we felt that legalizing cheating would bring it out into the open where even the most brazen cheaters would feel challenged to “up their game” to levels heretofore seen only in International Curling. (And we know how exciting it made that sport.)

Another change that we agreed to (after the 6th or 7th shot of Jack Daniels) was to have actual pre-announced categories. (Sure, it was far easier when Dave & I could look at obvious winners and dictate that they really didn’t fit any of our categories, but what the hell.) And so we are pre-announcing the following categories for this year’s competition:

-   Best Traditional Snard
-   Best Tailgate Snard
-   Best Running board
-   Most Pathetic Snard
-   Best Snard form a state where snards don‘t normally grow
-   Grand National Snard
-   And whatever else Dave & I see fit (and can probably win ourselves)

And so, let the snards form! But remember, if you don’t submit an entry with a real picture – or at least a pathetic hand drawing – it never happened!

Greatness....

Ok, it's on.   Does a mud snard count if it is frozen?

Only if it's on a grey Super Duty or a white Tacoma.   

Yea, I suppose we could come up with a category for that.

[Pockets]

I knew I took these for good reason!

I present my first round of entries

For Best Running Board:



For Best Snard:

You can just see how elegantly it flows with the contours of the vehicle.



And finally the Most Pathetic Snard  :

[Too Stroked]

Not bad at all Chris! But I'm 99.9% sure somebody can come up with something more pathetic than that! 

You going to pull the fancy wheels off before the salt destroys' them?

And nope I'm gunna get me a new truck and forget the rims all together!

Hmmm, something they won't fit?

[Kitzy]

Aren't those the junked wheels anyway?  I thought you never put the replacements on. 

Hmm, bring on the snards!  I'm sure I can manage something this winter that can be eliminated for no good reason.

[Blown F-150]

Best of luck too all! I think I will have a shot during my yearly Christmas Pilgrimage back home. We've decided to take the truck this year...

[Too Stroked]

Yes folks, proof positive that we don't need a good reason to eliminate an entry. However, money does still talk. Hint, hint.

And what do you think fuels the judges?                urp, 

[GreyMichFX4]

Don't know if this counts as a snard or snow drift but I hear the judges are easily bribed with booze. 

[Rollingrock]

That just looks miserable to me.

[Kitzy]

That just looks miserable to me.

I'm torn.  It looks beautiful but I know how much clean up it involves and for that I hate it.
