My mom wanted a printout of the horses in the Derby. As I've done for the last few years, I added in a few fake names to see if they particularly stuck out from the real horse names. This year's were

Cathode Ray Stantz
Mr. Angry Face

"A radio news bulletin says the National Guard is massacring students at Kent State and Nixon is still bombing Cambodia. The journalist is driving, ignoring his passenger who is now nearly naked after taking off most of his clothing, which he holds out the window, trying to wind-wash the Mace out of it. His eyes are bright red and his face and chest are soaked with the beer he's been using to rinse the awful chemical off his flesh. The front of his woolen trousers is soaked with vomit; his body is racked with fits of coughing and wild choking sobs. The journalist rams the big car through traffic and into a spot in front of the terminal, then he reaches over to open the door on the passenger's side and shoves the Englishman out, snarling: "Bug off, you worthless faggot! You twisted pigfucker! [Crazed laughter.] If I weren't sick I'd kick your ass all the way to Bowling Green you scumsucking foreign geek. Mace is too good for you ... We can do without your kind in Kentucky."

Hunter S. Thompson, from "The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent And Depraved"

Oh they showed Kid Rock interview on espn earlier., he just replaced the Joe Namath drunk SNF interview. . Rock was drunk as shit singing to the lady interviewing him, asking her if she wanted to have sex.

[Shinobi]

And it's Giacomo with the win...heh, someone got rich.

 

[AB 101]

Fuck you Steinbrenner!

 

[Spectral Glider]

That was a pretty good race....great payouts. NBC needs some of Fox's Nascar Fox trax for the derby coverage though.
