Well thank you, good Sir, and yes I have tried to explain such things but alas, she insists they are tortured, abused ponies.

After a while it becomes too draining and just a waste of time trying to explain it so that's where I'm at at this point.

If I, apparently, have no soul? So be it. :D

I love how Pamela Anderson was all about the Kentucky Derby til someone in PETA yelled at her. She's a member and was a fan. I think she didn't realize we were on PETA's s**t list. Now she's calling it cruelty. As much as I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, I can practice it without joining up with PETA. I like horse racing, fried chicken is delicious, and I'm gonna call my dog a "pet" if I darn well please.

As for where I'm watching the Derby, in my house, probably from the same television I saw the Rags to Riches/Curlin Belmont. Yeah, I really need to get a newer tv. Am I the only one who doesn't have a flat screen?

That was a joke, Hockey, Vol Jack and Da Hoss.

Stick to conspiracy theories and worshipping your favorite horsey.

Comedy isn't your thing.

From the infield at CD unless I find cheap tickets. Or Scav hits it big on the Oaks and invites Philski and my group to the box he will rent.

Good one!

Ok, so lesson one. Self deprecation, then refer to something impossibly ridiculous?

How much do I owe you?

Actually, that was pretty funny.

Meeting a buddy from Colorado Springs.............we have a box at Arapahoe Park with a couple of TV's and machines close by. They run live at the end of the month but they actually have a fairly nice setup for Derby Day.

I love to do all the things I need to do in the morning, so I DVR the Derby and the supporting races, as well as HRTV. I don't read my e-mail so I don't know who won the races than when I'm ready to come in and relax, I watch the days races and events on my 60" plasma, the best thing is being able to fast forward through all the repititious crap from the day before, the monotonous commercials, and the cheap claiming races I could care less about. :)
