Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Favorite title sequence/themes The Wire(With or without the Waits vocal, although the Waits is significant for being the last music Bob Colesberry ever heard)
Scrubs
The Sopranos
The old-school, grey, scary Homicide credits
Hecubus, thought of you the other day as KO mentioned "bunting" and I pictured a buncha Mets out buying red, white and blue crap to hang on election booths.(yes, I know that ain't right.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cass, what venue was the race (i.e. HSR, SCCA, etc)? Paul's been racing for quite some time. In fact, he was still competing in the 24 of Hours of Daytona just a few years back (though his age is starting to show on the track).

Airstream, you may come to regret having admitted you know this.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I pictured a buncha Mets out buying red, white and blue crap to hang on election booths.

I beg to differ. Orange, white and blue. As eyesore an orange as you can think of (thankfully they only use it for bits of trim, and don't have whole jerseys in that color).

Which makes you wonder: what do countries that have unflattering colors in their flags do? In Ireland, do both sides claim green and neither side orange? (I guess, it is Ireland, so probably yes.) What if you are an Italian politician, and look terrible in green, but the other side has already claimed red?

Heh. Yes, you are probably right in this particular case.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Green and orange were my high school's colors. Our theory was that the store was sold out of everything else.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

What? Why might I regret knowledge of said information?

Hadn't even got that far, Nutty, in my "Kiss rocks?" ignorance. Then I spent the next segment wondering if that lady being bid on for the Tigers game was gutsy or stupid. I still have not decided, actually. But she was much less sluttish than I expected.

Because she'll never talk to you about anything else EVER AGAIN!

(She's a big race fan. She's assimilated me, actually. SAVE YOURSELVES, PEOPLE!!!! Run Buffistas! RUNNNNN!!!!!!)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, what venue was the race (i.e. HSR, SCCA, etc)? Paul's been racing for quite some time. In fact, he was still competing in the 24 of Hours of Daytona just a few years back (though his age is starting to show on the track).
It was SCCA-sanctioned.

Actually Newman raced several times at Riverside when my dad was racing there too. Nice guy and loves him his racing. Even at 81...

His Champ team just won their third championship in a row yesterday at Surfers as well.

Hi, my name is Cass and I am a racing slut.
