The title of Brent “thwaak” Wolke‘s entry for the Reasonably Clever Pigs on the Wing contest was too perfect not to *ahem* borrow for my own post title here. ;-) Brent’s Jaws-inspired fishing boat/cave racer manages to hit all the rules while still being completely unlike any other cave racer we’ve featured or that appears Continue reading →
