Load up Danny Boyle with a massive dose of Adderall and lock him in a room with a Super 8 camera and a semi-functional Tyco slot car racetrack. Soundtrack sourced from field recordings of the Ford River Rouge Complex, Dearborn MI, December 1977 (mixed by Lou Reed in a very surly mood).

Animate Ralph Steadman’s illustrations for the opening highway scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971). Let Roger Corman direct. Soundtrack with forgotten practice recordings from the Trans-Love house in Ann Arbor, c 1968.

Create a filmstrip of rejected drawings from Philippe Druillet’s La Nuit (1976) and project on the wall of an abandoned petrol station outside Brighton, UK, while a damaged dub of Voivod’s War and Pain (1984) plays on a battered Toshiba boombox.

Curate an exhibition of John Chamberlain sculptures for display in the entry area of a Costco in Memphis, TN. Audio guide playing on distributed headphones features the opening guitar solo from Saxon’s “The Eagle Has Landed” (1983), 1:07-1:28, at 3x speed in a continuous loop.

Assemble a replica of a 2005 Harley-Davidson Road King out of empty Coors Light cans, Cheez Whiz and whatever you can scrounge from the Army Navy Store in Schenectady, NY. Find the top of the nearest hill with a 17% grade. Mount replica. Set it on fire. Roll.

(Please note that these stunts have been performed by professionals. Do not attempt at home. Do obtain a copy of Äxe’sAutogeddon if any of the above sounds like your kind of a good time.)
