Mine That Bird

first off, let's just say, i love long shots- but i never bet 'em. from now on i have a new NBC Sob Story betting theory, it works for the olympics, most superbowls, and the kentucky derby. it is basically the fact that whatever dramatic bio piece NBC does on an athlete or an animal is pretty much the key to who is going to win. NBC always gets it's storyline (i'm looking at you, obama), and they certainly got theirs today with that $9500.00 dollarstore horse and that cowboy on the crutches who drove the horse from new mexico while three other horses in the race took private jets from dubai. thankfully, no horses died in the process (atleast none they are reporting/ r.i.p. eight belles). if you had the superfecta you are a fucking millionaire and about to be struck by lightning, seriously... (btw- i think jockeys really are large leprechauns)

in other sports news: i am sick of the yankees formula of  starters going one inning too many + a bullpen breakdown + a late inning rally = a loss almost always. i've seen it about 20 times already this fucking season. how many more to go, 135???

and somehow i feel obligated to watch this bulls/ celts game 7. i have invested too much time to ignore it, and i have already seen tonight's episode of cops (i don't care if it says it's a new episode, i think we've all seen it...)

i don't have any opiates, but i understand the dead flower feeling as i'm dining this evening on swordfish kabobs and some nasty mountain wine:

"Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac 

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day 

 I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon 

And another girl to take my pain away "
