Uh, yeah.

Well, Duno is already out of the race

Si, Da, Oui, and Fuck. Yes.

How can they race on the Manning Sabbath?

i saw this Milka chick in HD on SportsCenter this morning. i wondered if she went to the plastic surgeon and said, "yes, could you make my nose look like charo's, por favor?"

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: They can't race today! It's Peyton Manning Day!

@PeteJäyhawk™: no, we mustn't dwell.....not today....not on Peyton Manning Day!

@Upshaws Leash: yeah, last night somebody compared her to The Joker and I can kinda see it. Not that she isn't also hot. Which is a weird feeling.

Wow, Milka has the unsexiest voice ever.

@PeteJäyhawk™: and you would know from sexy voices.

She's a little older. I watch world sportscars, so I've seen her around for years...

@What would Kornheiser do?: And she was hot then, too.

@Lady Andrea: But of course.

Also...."Superstar Jewel"? Really, announcer man?

@PeteJäyhawk™: yeah, that's a tough sell.

@Lady Andrea: And on the 8th day, God created paper bags.

@PeteJäyhawk™: And duct tape.

How long before Hugo Chavez declares Milka's crash all part of a nefarious American plot?

@TattooedMess(iah): somehow, I can juuuuuust picture you getting out a paper bag and ripping off a strip of duct tape. Huh.

@Lady Andrea: Pay no attention to the horns...they're just there to hold up the halo.

@TattooedMess(iah): exxxxcellent. Half and half.

I thought there could be nothing more boring than a long circular car race. I was wrong. More boring = a long circular car race... in a rain delay.

@whittlz: No, being stuck inside on a rainy Memorial Day weekend with nothing to do except watch a long circular car race in a rain delay while trying to keep yourself entertained online is even worse. Trust me. I did make myself a killer bloody mary though, so it's not all bad.

@PeteJäyhawk™: I love bloody marys. I make really good ones: absolut peppar (if I had my choice), mix, worcestershire sauce, tobasco, olive juice and celery salt, garnished with a pickle and 3 olives. So delicious. What do you use?

@Lady Andrea:

Ooh!! Make me one. Hold the olives

BTW, afternoon.

@Lady Andrea: Smirnoff (because that's what's here), tomato juice, lime juice, pickle juice, a lot of tabasco in lieu of spicy vodka, black pepper, and celery salt, with a pickle speak and celery stalk for garnish. I really don't like olives (which is weird because lord knows I've tried...and I pretty much like every kind of food ever made...obviously)

@Lady Andrea: @PeteJäyhawk™: sounds tasty. I borrowed a trick from one of the local bartenders here for Bloody Marys and squeeze a bit of lime juice in it along with the usual overdose of Tabasco.

pickle spear, dammit

@UkraineNotWeak: afternoon to you, good sir. The dash of olive juice is key to my bloody mary, so I cannot hold that. I can hold the olives, however.

Between my knees?

oh, and worcestershire sauce too. Damnit.

Wow - thank you ESPN on ABC.

So... the driver leading the race is okay if the rain calls it off.

The ones not in first... want it to continue.

I feel like I have learned much from the valuable commentary.

@Lady Andrea:

Close enough.

@PeteJäyhawk™: @Signal to Noise: I'm not a fan of the lime juice in my bloodys, not sure why. Also, if I don't have spicy vodka I will use black pepper too, but Absolut Peppar is really my choice if I can get it.

My brother and I used to stock up on all the ingredients I listed before football season and then we'd kick off each tailgate with a 6 am bloody mary. I'm getting sad just thinking about it....*sniff*

@Lady Andrea: I don't care for pickles or the olives themselves in bloodys. Olive juice I can do with or without.

I started drinking them when I was working graveyard and would go to the bar at 8 AM. The bartender would let us morning drinkers bring in breakfast from the diner next door.

@Lady Andrea: Heh, a guy I tailgate with brings an Igloo cooler full of bloody mary for all the early games, along with a bag of 50 McDonald's breakfast burritos for everyone. Mikey's awesome.

@PeteJäyhawk™: wow, Mikey is awesome. A bar I worked for in undergrad had their very own bloody mix that the owner brought from home and wouldn't tell anyone what was in it. It, coupled with my method of making bloodys, made the best bloody I've ever had. I should've swiped a bottle of the mix before I left.

I'd like to see a Manager please. I've been waiting 10 minutes for my Bloody Mary. Incompetent bartenders.

@Lady Andrea: What's even awesomer is that he's an optometrist in a small town about 150 miles away and even though his son doesn't tailgate with us anymore, he's still there every weekend, staying at the same fleabag motel because, as he puts it, "I'm drunk the whole time I'm in Lawrence, what the fuck do I care where I stay?". I once drunkenly put his brand-new Tahoe into a ditch while trying to park it and his only comment was "eh, it's a lease and under warranty, don't worry about it".

@UkraineNotWeak: get the ingredients and make one. I'm too far away, you'll be waiting a long time.

I like the idea my uncle (long time race fan) stated earlier: the Indy 500 is the really historically important race in the US. Indy racing has become so irrelevant, they strip it of the 500 and give it to NASCAR (and get rid of the Brickyard 400).

@JB*: No kidding. When Goodyear is by far your best announcer, you have a week team.

Say what you will about the Fox NASCAR boys, but they tend to be all over it when 9 cars stay out instead of pitting during a yellow or something.

@PeteJäyhawk™: Try putting a few dashes of Soy Sauce in lieu of some of the Worcestershire, and a pinch of Colamn's Mustard Powder. Also, by no means may Horseradich be omitted. If you have a food processor or blender, it's better pureed. And lemon and lime juice are both essential.

I can also recommend adding a bit of Sacla (the tomato and garlic sauce) if you have some to hand.

@CardinalRedOctober:

Why?

Funny all the Bloody Mary talk. That's what our neighbors on our west side were drinking in the infield all day at the 500. I just stuck with Bell's Oberon.

Also, I wanted the race to end at the first rain as well, but that's because I would have won $100 from our gang had Kanaan won.

Oh well.
