This is one of the rare Sundays I get to enjoy fully. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, hence no work and no going to bed early.
Will I spend the time fruitfully?
Well, I’m watching NASCAR, so you be the judge. As I mentioned last year, today is the GREATEST DAY IN MOTORSPORTS with the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the Coca Cola 600 all on the same day.
Earlier this morning, Daniel Ricciardo of Australia, who broke the track record in obtaining the pole position for this race, easily won for the first time in Monaco. Please note that I wrote this on Saturday. Let’s see if I was right… I was.
Although he experienced power problems midway through the race, Daniel was able to hold off the field, lead every lap, and actually extend his lead at the end to win by over six seconds.
I’m happy for him because he’s one of the few good dudes in Formula 1. And considering the number of assholes that abound in that series, that’s saying something.
In the second race, it was much more difficult to predict ahead of time who would win. There is a lot more passing and crazy shit happens. Ed Carpenter got the pole position while Danica Patrick qualified 7th.
In the end, Will Power got the win. That’s 2 for 2 for Australia, btw.
As for the NASCAR race, there are two drivers that are red-hot going in: Kyle Busch, my favourite driver, has three wins in the season and leads the point standings.
Kevin Harvick, however, is even hotter. He has 5 (FIVE!) wins on the season (out of 12 races to date, mind you) and just won the $1 million All- Star race at Charlotte last weekend.
He’s your favorite.
So, sit back, crank up the grill, throw some dogs and burgers on there, and open up some beers or sodas. It’s that kind of day and that’s an excellent way to enjoy it.
Oh, and comment here, of course.

We’re almost ready to back up Senor’s computer. I figure it should be all done at this rate by June. Of 2022.
You poor poor bastard.
I gotta do that soon.
I waited too long as I believe my computer can no longer RAM IT! like it once did.
I’ll have to deactivate and reactivate Finale when I get a new laptop, that’s what’ll annoy me most.
I randomly met the Avett’s bassist not too long ago in a random North Carolina store.
Nice guy.

The weed grinder: Cost effective or Destroyer of resin glands?
And I thought I was high.
That’s a pretty nice effect. It’s a warp on a still frame; not really difficult to do but it was genius to think it up.
So I just had to sit through Eight Crazy Nights. I have no idea why but the couch was really comfy and my friend gave me a very fuzzy pillow to stroke (not a euphemism). She probably got the best of it as she conked out midway through.

I’ve seen this. Dolphins love submarines:
They know you’re watching them and they start showing off if you hoot and holler. I saw it many times, out in the middle of the North Atlantic. They were there because they wanted to be there.
Whale?
Moose’s gif looks like TWO whales. Mine are dolphins.
It’s from the monster alligator movie, just special affects. Whale don’t go that shallow unless they are lost or committing suicide.
YEP! She’s a ……KEEPER.
/Yes, I used this joke again.
Ok, i’m watching Empire. Can someone remind me how Vader knows that Luke is his son yet doesn’t know that Leah is his daughter?
Patriarchy.
Danika crashing to end it all sounds like a good joke material.
A little scotch before an early wakeup seems like a good decision.
Just a smidgen.
Early wakeup on a holiday?!? WTF?
I got talked into a 10k. Walking it, but still.
Unless it’s for your future wife, sleep in.
Obviously
All the brown liquor in play tonight

So…… this game just perpetuates the idea that lebron’s biggest shortcoming is his habit of seeming to play down to his competition?
I won’t pretend to closely follow the NBA, I try and try, it just doesn’t click.
But for fucks sake, where was this guy earlier in the series?
Basketball is the worst.
Halfway to a fourth straight warriors Cavs final?

On the bright side, at least there will be more sad Boston fans tonight
Yeah, but it’s the 4th smallest group of Boston fans.
Until the Patriots miss the playoffs, anyway.
I think I’d blow a gasket.

Kyle Busch!!
Total domination. Just like Ricciardo.
Yup. It was beautiful to watch.
Yeah, I don’t care if they shave or not.
I’m getting up for a beer; anybody want one?
Make mine a porter.
[rummages….]
OK!
This is what is in the fridge:

I liked it a bit more than average I guess.
Ok, Four Roses bottle, you’re not getting a trip west. You’re going into a Manhattan and into my belly.
Good decision.
Dexter has a woody.
Don ‘t blame him.
Afraid woody is ok, people.
Freddy krueger 2 is so fucking weird
This is the longest I’ve watched a basketball game in years.
Dumb question: is there a basketball equivalent to the Prince Wales/ Clarence Campbell trophy?
Not really. It’s all or nothing mostly.
This is the only good version of this meme

I don’t get the “meme” part, to he honest
I installed a sink for my MIL today. Even with the hot/cold taps turned off, I get a slight drip. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it?
Stop calling her a drip
Are the taps new or old? If they’re old, they may not tighten the way they used to.
Also, vagina joke.
assuming they’ve got washers, replace the washers.
A fun game is to imagine how many loads have been dumped in that shower
or anywhere in the house.
or how many of them weren’t human
Dumped in the shower?

This gif turned out well graphically speaking.
WAS THAT A WORLD CUP PROMO DURING THE NASCAR RACE? HA HA HA GOOD LUCK
I wonder how much Fox paid for the rights. I mean people will watch, but viewership will be down
Oh Fox will make out fine. It’s just those two demographics don’t overlap much.
Except for me. I’m the unicorn.
$400MM for this year and 2022
Sup.
Thank you all for your input on tonight’s viewing options. Stumbling out of Brewery number 2, the clubhouse leader is anything I can watch from my couch while continuing to plow through my liquor cabinet.
Please don’t fuck the liquor cabinet
At least use a condom.
Don’t get a splinter.
YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR
Alternative: La Casa De Papel on Netflix. I think they call it Money Heist in English.
I’m suddenly finding my father is stuck in the 1990s when it comes to prices.
“Hey Dad, I found a sump pump for $300.” “I can find one for just over a hundred.”
“I found a hotel room in Chicago for Saturday night for $250.” “Did you search everywhere?”
“I can buy the keys to the Fountain of Youth for $1,000.” “I can find you a better deal.”
Prices increased but wages didn’t?
This guy HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES potato salad.
Today was the Grand Prix? Did anyone see Benoit? Balls?
Nope, didn’t see him.
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
So much for Kevin Harvick…
I played horsehoes at a friend’s house last night so naturally I had a pretty good hangover most of the day and it’s a rainy, cloud, cold-ass day here in CT so sitting around watching pretty cars go round and round and occasionally bounce into and off things sounds like a pretty good way to spend the evening.
better ‘n’ golf
If I need to choose between seeing Infinity War, Solo, or nothing tonight, what does the kommentariat recommend?
Cubs Giants and game 7 Cleveland Boston. I’ve seen neither movie so I’m staying sports centric.
My daughter speaks highly of Infinity War, if that helps.
Deadpool 2
The baby legs part is worth the price of admission all by itself.
Infinity War following by Deadpool 2.
To be fair, no one seems to know if Solo is any good because most people haven’t bothered with it
Too bad there’s no Australians in NASCAR…. anymore.
