Wife won $53 on $15 in bets. She had Orb for win also.

I lost $54 on the day. I'll rebound in the Preakness!

Anyone know a good steam for the fight?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

You know what pisses me off; people who move way left to turn right or way right to turn left!

Look, I get it, if you have a big truck you might need to move over a bit so you don't clip the curb, but if you have a Honda Civic you don't have to move an entire lane to the left to make a right hand turn! Huge pet peeve of mine.

So I have finally made it to the 21st century. Got my first smartphone. GalaxyS3. I don't know how I've made it this long without one, especially being in NYC for 3 years.

NYC Map & Subway is a good app for New York. There's also a Happy Hour app for the city that some people like, but I'm kindof meh on that one.

Just got back from an 18th century brewing demonstration, and now I want to learn to brew my own beer.

In case you missed it, yesterday was Tax Freedom day in New Jersey.

From January 1st until yesterday, you worked for the government. Now you get to keep your pay. Congrats.

Downloaded a subway map that doesn't need internet. I downloaded this one for deals called Scout Mob. My friend uses it so I trusted him on it

What struck me about it, was how simple it is.

The complexity is the fact that there's about a kerbillion variables you can play with, but the basic formula for "how to" brew beer is pretty easy.

My favorite part of the day was taking freshly dried hops in my hands and crushing them in my fingers, it smelled just like when you pop the top off an IPA.

the smell is what hooked me. the taste is just a whole other thing, but the smell...the smell sometimes does it for me more than the taste. i know the basic formula, and to sanitize sanitize and sanitize. but ur right, the mad scientist concoctions require so many variations and mixtures and flavors its just mind bottling. i should order some hops from every continent and then add warrior at the end just for the love of that crazy **** ultimate warrior. ok that doesnt make sense but itll taste good i swear. i think.

What a ridiculous weekend in AC...somehow I weigh 8 pounds more today than I did Friday morning.

 

[Saugus]

One of my best friends growing up will have his wedding next weekend. Pretty pumped except its a dry wedding and I'll be wearing a searsucker

Who the hell has a dry wedding? That shouldn't be allowed.

On a scale of 1-10 how rude is it to straight up not respond to a wedding invitation and pretend it got lost in the mail? Already had a discussion with some people and I'm doing it. Just curious how much of an ******* I'll come out from this not that I care because holding grudges is fun.

It's pretty bad, but they sound like jerks from your description so go ahead with your plan.

Whaaaat? 12 hours? I'm too old for that kind of stuff.

I did that on Friday. Drank all day. I'm coming to the same conclusion, I'm getting too old to do that stuff now.

why would someone bring 3 babies onto a red-eye cross-country flight? :rage:

so as not to disturb the masses on the daytime flight. Red-eyes are usually sparse and it's night time so the babies will be sleeping anyways.

Wat - the babies weren't sleeping?

Hot water on a napkin inside those little plastic cups and cover their ears on descent for landing will help their ears equalize and stop hurting too. If they could talk they'd be screaming "my ears hurt!"

They are getting married at the bride's property for some reason and her family is super duper religious. Apparently they got some beer and possibly wine there and that was a huge ordeal so flask time.

And I did day drinking at penn state for blue and white weekend. Day drinking as in we woke up at 6:30 and drank pretty much the whole day until I went to bed at 4 am. :why:

Kentucky derby followed up by Cinco de Mayo? Bourbon and Tequila - sounds like Jim's kinda weekend.

That's all water retention from the salt on the margaritas Jim - you're having your period. Are your ankles fat?

I've never had babies on a red-eye but I do always get sat behind the one single jackrodder that wants to read the newpaper the entire flight and keeps his light on and rustles the paper angrily when he can't find anything new to read.
