6 Thank you Andy. The Kentucky Derby is my favorite sporting event. The Super Bowl is a close second. By a nose even.

7 This is my kind of racing. Once around the track and done. Plus booze.

12 Bob Costas, (D-Tool), was just talking about additional security for the Derby (that's a bullshit excuse to protect "official" photographs) being the "new normal" for sporting events after the Boston Marathon. Except, I guess, at Fenway Park. It was business as usual there last weekend.

13 Last time I was at the Kentucky Derby, there was a huge collision. Three horses. One of them exploded. A flaming leg flew over the barrier and took out five spectators just three rows behind me.

46 The more I study a program, the less chance I'll win. I used to do well at the races just watching the post parade. Last time i went didn't get there till the second to last race, and the program vendors had gone home so I didn't even know the race except for head numbers. Looked at the field, engaged my horse whispering skills and picked what I thought were the top three horses already on the track. Bet it and turned a $6 trifecta into $1600. Haven't been able to go back since, because anything further would be a let down. Go out on top!

361 Never understood the appeal of gambling on horses, I like options better for my gambling fix ---- Same here and I used to race them on the Cali circuit. A little inside tip if you know nothing about horse racing, bet the top jockey. He chooses which horse to ride more than half the time, and he has all the backstretch info that you don't have. Its definitely not foolproof, but if you bet the jockey with a 60% win average, you win 60% of the time.

Is that the stuff with the gold flecks? If not, go get that.

I liked, in my redneck way, that the trainer was named "Shug." One of my grandmothers used to call me "Shug-a" Translated into Yankee English as "Sugar."

OT: French up in arms over vultures after (deceased) french woman is devoured in only fifty minutes.

"There were only bones, clothes and shoes left,"

She was french, so of course the birds had to tangle with out of control body hair...and the BO smell....still, fifty minutes. That's impressive.

The boy Morgenholz, 8, went 2 for 4 with a runn scored in a valiant but losing effort by the Mighty Mudcats. His first game ever. Awesome. Posted by: Herr Morgenholz at May 04, 2013 07:17 PM (5IdaX)

Congrats. I think the Brewers should offer him a contract and have him play second base. He's hitting better than Ricky Weeks is.

how do people still listen to radio stations with those idiot morning shows?

I stopped listening to syndicated talk radio shows years ago because they were mostly just commercials, with the occasional host talent announcing that they would 'be right back'.

Y'all come to my house right now and party. I love them all.

I have not thought of Pure Prairie League in a long time. My college roommate and I threw one of many parties back in the days of olde. In our hospital out West, where I was in skool, the 3-11 shift all used to get off duty at midnight and it was not unusual to see notices on bulletin boards throughout hospital departments of parties for Saturday nights. Somehow word got out to come to our house. Wall to wall people, 3/4 I did not know, in a rental, yet no damage done (keg in bathtub, two lines formed for actual bathroom use and/or beer). My sons, in this refined age, cannot believe the keg in the ice bathtub deal. Of course, when they were youngsters, they never knew of this. They still do not know much, as we believe what they don't know did not hurt them!

Anyway, my old stereo was blasting Southern rock at this one memorable party, and Pure Prairie League was a favorite. My then seasonal boyfriend, now husband, from Long Island, brought some Yankee Boston people who took off a record and replaced it with either Queen or something that divided the party like the Mason Dixon Line. It was tres interesting. I finally got irritated and asked some of the Boston peoples to leave in a not Miss Hospitality voice and they did with their tails between their legs.

Thank you for reminding me of my youth. I was known for lunacy with class and was the only Southerner many had ever met. They were amazed I had all of my teeth and could speak proper grammar (most of the time).

406 Wonder why it's Frac and not Frack... Posted by: Parisparamus at May 04, 2013 05:59 PM (R3g62) Because they spelled it right, for a change. There is no "k" in "fracture", which is the root word for "frac".

Dang, I miss so much by participating in RL...

Then again, I never watch NBC unless there's a good SEC football game on and then its muted with the announcers on the radio calling the game.

Cooked a 10 lb pork butt and a rack of ribs on the smoker, gonna have pulled pork bbq, ribs, tater salad, maybe some cold beer but more likely a mixed drink or two and watch the Talladega race from the comfort of the house rather than the clusterfvck its turned into of actually being there.
