Hey Killswitch (and anyone interested)...

[Morcheeba]

Is this Daytona 500 cursed or what?

Rained out and re-scheduled for the first time in like 50 years, major 5 car crash during the 2nd lap taking out big names, some bonehead downshifted and crashed into a jetfueled dryer truck and now it's about to rain again with 40 laps to go?

I'm not into NASCAR but I do like to watch this race and the Indy500.

Caught up on 'The Walking Dead' from last night and they're STILL just hanging around the race track.

 

[semen4her]

Yeah.

I'm pretty bummed.

Yee HAw1!!

 

[IndieSnob]

Having the Indie 500 stalled is like when his Klan cross burning rallies get rained out, and he has to drive his lawn mower home.

 

[Morcheeba]

Good one with the yee haw. I copycatted "bonehead" in my OP from two back-to-back guys being interviewed about the dilemmas.

"I can't believe that bonehead did that..."

"I want to watch the footage to see the boneheaded move that caused all that..."

This last bonehead (who crashed into a huge truck full of jet fuel) seemed to have a bit of a Middle Eastern accent. Hmmm....

 

[Mockingbirdblue]

Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombian.

 

[Morcheeba]

C'mon, you guys aren't the least interested in two racing events a year?

Got more important stuff to blurt in Laurel's thread every single night?

 

[Morcheeba]

Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombian.

Ahh, I skipped past the rest of his interview and went to 'The Talking Dead' before figuring out where that bonehead was from.

Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombian.

And 2000 Indianapolis 500 champion...

...as a rookie.

 

[CHNOPS]

My favorite part of the Daytona 500 is where the cars drive around the track in an oval. The last 197 times is when it gets really exciting!

He seemed like a rookie driver to not downshift his vibrating car until he got PAST those two vehicles carrying soo much fuel.

Haha, Sweep wants it 200mph fast.

No shit, wanted to get the two Walking Dead shows out of the way and catch the last 10 laps/rounds whatever but noooo, so much drama involved.

You bonehead.

Worst. Sport. Ever.

I'm hoping someone in this thread calls them 'athletes.'

I love that.

 

[Morcheeba]

It's not even a sport.

Don't even call it anything close to a sport.

 

[Destinys_Bitch]

The cars are pretty.

Athlete is a stretch but I will admit that it takes skill to drive at sustained speeds like they do. I couldn't do it without cruise control and a clear track.
On the other hand they tend to wreck a lot which suggests that maybe their skills are lacking.

No, they aren't. They're billboards.

Not everyone who is good at their job is an athlete.

They're excellent drivers. Was Rainman an athlete?

 

[Morcheeba]

KRC, I wish you woulda bumped your Walking Dead thread. I went back 3 pages deep and didn't see it.

He never hit the wall and turned into a giant fireball. Just sayin'.

I wish Dwayne Johnson would have crawled into bed with me last night and made me his filthy fuck bunny but it didn't happen.
