I guess that we, as a society, have run out of entertainment options. We’ve put wheels on everything here in Nashville, and decided to run it up and down Broadway. You have party buses left and right. There’s a hot tub on wheels. I guess in 2022, we’ve just seen it all – people keep upping the game a little bit. Take the folks in the video we’re going to watch here on this fine morning, for example. For whatever reason, they decided to put some sort of fenced-in platform on top of a monster truck. Furthermore, they’ve elected to drive this contraption directly into a swamp pond.

Now, listen. I’m willing to acknowledge and address my shortcomings on this blog. Maybe I am just an uncivilized, uncultured swine. But, I really don’t get the appeal of an activity like this to begin with. Even if the vehicle doesn’t tip over and send you swimming, what service is this monster truck providing you that couldn’t be obtained through simply jumping into this pond? Like, is it just the novelty of a monster truck driving through the water? Is it the thrill of not knowing whether you’re going to exit the truck dry? Is it being crammed into a confined space with a bunch of strangers and not knowing if it was going to turn into a Royal Rumble or not?
See, to me, THAT is the only way to play this thing. Everyone get on this platform, we’re going to drive out into the middle of this pond, and then the last person standing on that platform gets a free cheeseburger. Sign me up for that vacation.
Otherwise, this just looks like it was doomed from the jump. But, does that really matter when you’re having fun? Just look at that one guy in the blue shirt waving his hand around the whole time – he’s having the time of his life! The only time he puts that hand down is when he literally needs to brace himself from being thrown into that swamp water. Someone else is waving a cowboy hat around. I guess this is just good old fashioned fun, and maybe I’m being a stick in the mud, no pun intended.
Still, I don’t know what everyone thought would happen. You can only tempt fate so many times before it comes to collect. You definitely cannot count on tempting fate long enough to open a swamp attraction to do it. I just hope somebody got the driver out of that thing. Everyone else seemed perfectly content to swim for their lives. Thankfully…geez, that could’ve been a lot worse.
Okay, so who’s ready to find this place and go try it out with me?
