while their coach was apparently in Vegas throwing down with his crew.
- Floyd Mayweather- what a POS. I also love the hiphop terminology of saying "laying hands on" instead of beating women up.
Never seen either of these idiots throw a punch. Don't anticipate that changing this weekend.
Derby Randoms
-Missing Derby to attend a wedding in New York. Leave Thursday night. I mean, I'm fairly sick about this. Whatever.
-If you've never seen the sunset on Central Avenue the first Saturday in May then I am not sure if you've ever truly experienced Derby.
There's stranded, and then there's Derby stranded. Rite of passage, IMO.
-My folks let me attend Oaks infield at a pretty early age but not Derby until 8th grade.
-Traffic on the way to Derby is a good thing. There is no sweeter voyage than the drive to Derby... suited up, strong buzz, excitement everywhere, wallet full of cash... About as good as it gets.
-2 to 3 beers and then I typically switch to Mint Juleps at the track. Punish those until it's time to leave.
-Really like all the back-slapping and camaraderie that goes with being around good groups in your box. That's a critical, critical component to Derby IMO. Nothing worse than being surrounded by a bunch of stiffs. Never understood why those people even bother going.
-I've sat damn near everywhere at Churchill on Derby Day and had the most fun at 1st floor clubhouse and 3rd floor (no clubhouse). I think the 3rd floor clubhouse is a bit overrated with the new pavilion added behind the general 3rd floor boxes (which is dope as touch).
-Best Derby songs? Dead Flowers has to be #1.
-I've always enjoyed being around/seeing non-Kentuckians singing MOKH. They try, but you can tell they don't really get it. Appreciate the genuine effort, however.
Good Morning:
:: New gas grill on the horizon. Weber Genesis is the leader in the clubhouse at the moment. Hard to knock 700+ five star reviews.
-I lay off the Juleps for the most part, mixing a drunk Anth full of sugar and whiskey is a bad combo. Kind of like give a Mogwai water or food after midnight. No good can come from it.
10/10 there from SAE. The derby stranded is truly a unique experience. A few years got separated from our group ended up at some 80 year old ladys house on the backside where her degenerate grandson was selling beers in the front yard. We chatted, she offered me a sandwich, I declined and her grandson drove me to Highlands for $60 cash in a 80's Lincoln. The rush of reuniting with your friends randomly at a bar is unique derby experience as well.
Guess I did the Oaks back in 2010 with Pti (quite a hilarious experience), but can't remember the last time I went to Derby...after my pleasant experience with Louisville this March, I've decided to make Derby a priority in my schedule next year. All of it, the whole week of events. Go big or go home.
Picked up the E-330 model a few weeks ago, love the thing despite still working out the kinks. I mean, my last grill was some busted out 3 legged hand-me-down that couldn't maintain constant temperature, so the Genesis is a modern marvel with an element of witchcraft by comparison.
I was skeptical of the searing station and how much use I'd have for it, but it absolutely delivered on its initial bone-in ribeye test run.
Costly item but you of all people will get your money's worth with it.
