  1. No rain in the forecast so no repeat of tax day and memorial day floods, both of which happened on Rockets-Warriors game days.

     

     

     

    Why is a game in Houston starting at fucking 8pm? Why not 7? Easy coast is waiting till 9pm to watch a game? Not sure why they think 8 is better than 7. 3 time zones would be fine but let’s revolve the entire world around the west coast time zone. 

    How many people in eastern time would watch if it started at 8 locally but not 9 locally? I'm guessing that's a small figure. Local news doesn't even air until 11 eastern.

    Thought this was going to be about an upcoming series from NBC (airs in September).

     

    they've been gone longer than 5 and a half years considering the plane they landed in is a 737-200.  though in the air it's a a 300 or later and the one on the cover is an A330.

    I believe Vettel had a used set left.

     

    i think they were talking about a set of used softs. 

     

    vettel switched off the supers in Q3 because he didn't like them, guess even if they did have supers available they didn't want to use them. 

  4. ice cream is horribly overrated.   can't remember the last time i bought some just to have it in the house.  dessert generally is pretty much useless.

  5. Chaps Pit Beef, Baltimore, MD.

    This place has been on pretty much every "fat guy eats his way across America" show ever. I figured it'd be a bit more on the BBQ side of things due to cooking over coals but it's pretty much roast beef. No discernable smoke flavor on the sandwich, just a good medium beef flavor. Burnt ends were almost inedible. Fries were really good. Don't go expecting BBQ and you'll be happier than I was.

  6. indy GP was almost as processional as the spanish GP (and of course abcspn was in commercial during the pass for the lead).  not as fun as either st. pete or long beach. 

  7. Hamilton ran off and hid as soon as the safety car went back in. Pretty impressive.

     

    Grosjean must have dirty pictures of Gene Haas.

     

    Loved Christian Horner asking what the guys in the booth would do.

     

    Impressed by Leclerc again.

     

    Did Ferrari not have any supersofts left?

     

    Trivially surly due to the announcers exclaiming that (for example) "Seb took 4/10ths out of Max that last lap and it's just a matter of time," when he's still 2.2 back just like he was 5 laps ago and just like he'll be 5 laps from now. Happens every race.

     

    Like the immediate post race interviews, did the pdoium interviews go away or is Sky showing highlights during those?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  8. If you go by visitors compared to natives, Andorra is the world's 2nd most visited country. 2.36 million tourists visited in 2014, vs a population of 70k. The top "country" is Vatican City, and rounding out the top five are Macao, BVI, and Turks and Caicos. I get the appeal of those others, but why Andorra? Just to say you've been there?

  9. "first ever" cars.  

     

    also, cars advertised as "all new" when it's the exact same car it was last model year.

    corporate sponsorship of entertainment/sports venues makes me ragey.


    so and so is playing at "Sleep Train Amphitheater"   Where the fuck is that?  I don't know, but it's different from "Verizon Wireless Amphitheater". 

    Viejas Casino Center?  That must be at Viejas Casino, right?  No. It's 20 miles away from Viejas Casino.  

    Cox Arena?  Beats me.  

     

    Avco cup says hi

  10. Wanted to get my eyecare coverage emailed to me from Humana's phone system. The robot says to say your email address and gives the example msmith@mail.com: "em smith at mail dot com." My main email is first initial lastname at gmail, as I suspect a lot of other people's email is. So I say it. The computer, though, is too dumb to realize that I just gave it my first initial and last name. So it asks me to spell the first part of the email. I have an E, a B, and a D, and no way did the computer figure that out. I tried phonetic and it thought my email contained echo, bravo, and delta. Fucking delta bravos programmed the thing.

  11. Just got done watching Azerbaijan:

    Ho Lee Fuk Max you jackass. I bet Danny kicked Jos in the balls for good measure.

    Grosjean is terrible.

    Great seeing Leclerc score in the Sauber. Maybe the best livery in motorsports. Not buying the 'finally the monagasque have something to cheer for,' Hamilton lives there and rosberg grew up there.

    Horrible turn for bottas, where did that scrap come from?


  12. i just had an idea: send imgur some surly swag.  they love getting mail there, sarah often posts pictures of it, and the more creative the better.  that arm from the co-op is still around, right? appeal directly to the top to get us out of image hosting hell.

    Someone is going to die using the cyanide capsule. They wouldn’t keep showing it on several characters otherwise.

     

    I think either Phillip and Liz take them together and die in each other’s arms or Liz gets shot and Phillip takes it alone.

     

    I just wish Paige would take it so we could get rid of her ridiculous storyline altogether. That has pretty much ruined this show for me that I once liked.

     

    You really think the Russians, or anyone, would let a whiny teenage girl suddenly become a spy, knowing all their plans and secrets after a few months of training? All the FBI would have to do is take away her Walkman and she would spill her guts during questioning.

     

    i think there's only the one capsule.  harvest ate his, and based on phillip's reaction to liz's, it's not something he keeps around in the house.

    Rijstaffel at an Indonesian restaurant is a good dinner.

    The problem with Dutch local cuisine (except the Indonesian part) is that Dutch cuisine sucks.

     

    you don't like herring on a hotdog bun with pickles and onions?
