    that's an annoying thing about the derby, there's like a 6 hour pre race build up for a 2 minute run

      They're racing the entire time. It's usually about 30-40 minutes between races.

        As much as I dislike the Derby and hate horse racing I will admit that I went one time to the infield. Quite entertaining to say the least

        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

            I think he means there are other races before the big one.

              There are races running all day leading up to the Kentucky Derby. It's not 6 hours of nothing for just a two minute race.

                televised? it seems like just story times and slowly walking around the track for awhile

                  Not likely on the network coverage, they will occasionally show the race before the main race (talking all TC races now) and sometimes the race after.

                  To see the other races you would need to watch via other means but it's a fun all day event if you're there in person or if you go to a casino to watch or even an OTB.

                    Beginning of May was always a Vegas weekend for me. NBA playoffs, huge boxing match, Kentucky Derby and sometimes Cinco De Mayo. Fun times

                      At the behest of my wife, I quit using tobacco but I recently relapsed but I never use it around her and I didn't tell her about it. Problem is I just got back blood work for life insurance and it shows small amounts of nicotine in my system so now I have to tell her. I was hoping to of quit so she wouldn't have found out but alas I will have to tell her.

                      I have not had this feeling of dread since I was in high school and had to show my parents a bad report card.

                        I stopped dipping in December cold turkey. I had gotten a bad flu so I wasn't feeling like dipping that week I was sick.

                        I figured two birds with one stone. I had withdraws I'm sure, but they were blending in with my flu symptoms so I didn't notice too much.

                        Really bad headaches to go along with my flu symptoms but whatever. One week of hell was all it was.

                        The money saved from buying cans all the time is amazing lol.

                          someone should start making tobacco w/out nicotine. you probably wouldnt smoke more than 1 or 2 cig's a day, I bet.

                            Surprisingly not upset by it, no worries.

                                Alkazone has very good PH levels. Usually only sold as single bottles.

                                Iceland Spring is another really good brand.

                                Aquafina and Dasani are two of the worst bottled waters.
