Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I know more about racing than I really want to. I could actually follow your entire conversation with no problems.

I've got my minion researching racing right now while I'm working on pro soccer and basketball.

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

while I'm working on pro soccer and basketball.
I can offer my minion services in those areas too. ;)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Sadly, nope. For East & Central, we still have another 2.5 hours.

Ah-ha. The Canada feed must have come through early.

Do I get Matthew Perry if I catch him, SA?

You can have anyone you want if I can have him. Promise.

Also, Amanda Peet is pregnant. Innnnnnnnnnnnnnteresting.

Art Crawl!!!

Studio 60 is airing in two hours.

When you said "nephew spoilage" I thought "white font, please." I should skip and skim less.

Why don't they handicap cars like they do horses? Not all horse races are handicapped - just the handicap races but how would you do "weight for age" with cars?

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

Obviously, you're in the Portland races. From the guys I know who race ALMS and GrandAm, it's their least favorite track. I've never been there so I have no opinion.
The open wheel guys seem to really love it and the sports guys, nsm... Not sure why that is. Maybe the width, or lack thereof.
My new favorite track has to be Miller Motorsports Park outside Salt Lake City. However, the ALMS guys didn't have as much luck there.
Gorgeous track but sooooo flat. It seemed like the lack of visual clues would be odd. Fun to watch on tv though. And likely at the track as well.

Sorry... But you got me shirts!!!

I could be your minion even.

In Canadia, we get it on Sundays.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Well, the idea behind "stock" cars is that the parts are all stock--everything's the same and it's a level playing field. Except for the skill of the driver. At least that's the theory, so no handicapping needed.

Considering my boss sold a project to a client that I told her would take 1 week to do and she guaranteed delivery in 3 days? I would just about take you up on that.

Sorry... But you got me shirts!!!

I did. The racing folks I deal with are all really nice, so I don't mind following racing even though I don't really appreciate the sport. (Unlike some others that I deal with.)

I could be your minion even.

Both you. C'mon over!
