The Thriller

One of my dreams in life is to some day meet Darren “The Thriller” Miller.  He is a professional Dirt Car racer from Milledgeville, IL.  His website is at http://darrenmillerracing.com/.

I’m waiting for his domain name to exprire so I can pick it up.  So then all these dirt car fans would go to his website and it would be a giant photoshopped picture of the two of us high fiving.  And then underneath it would say “Hang tight!  The new Darren Miller joint website is coming soon!”  I figure a joint website is really an inevitable way to get to meet him.  Because once you’re roped into having a joint website with someone, you at least have to sit down with them and talk about how it will be structured, what design concept you should use, and what functions each person serves in maintaining the site.

If you check out his website, you’ll learn to love him too.  Here are my 5 favorite things about The Thriller:

1. His nickname is “The Thriller” and he’s a white guy from Illinois with a loving family.
2. He has an almost-sort-of-unibrow, but not in a bad way; in an endearing way.
3. He’s actually pretty fucking good at dirt racing.
4. We’re the same height.
5. He knows a good number when he sees one.  His number is 32d.  32 is the number of Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Julius Erving, Kevin McHale, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, and Jim Brown.  32 is also the supposed age of Jesus Christ when he was crucified, and I’m not an expert, but I think 32d is a pretty solid bra size too.  Also, I should mention that strangely, he himself is 32 years old right now.

My friend, Travis, had an idea to film a documentary about me trying to find The Thriller.  I think it might happen.  If anyone is interested, The Thriller is actively seeking sponsorship, and I am actively seeking financing for this documentary.
