OK, now break is over, back to real racing!

[tubebender]

Doesn't count as you were benched for the Foie Gras up thread...

[tubebender]

I see Giggles Wallace finished 18th but I had to search for it as I don't understand the Gringo Spanish as practiced on this board. and grock has stolen my tagline again so Bo will do his picks this week. and I had to miss the finish of the race because I was ordered out of the house by my First Wife...

[SouthTexas]

I was ordered out to burn yard bird on the pit, so I really didn’t post after the finish.

[tubebender]

I am so glad to read that because I was ordered out to plant strawberries and to weed and mulch the blueberries. Not that I am a name dropper...

[SouthTexas]

ROFLMAO

Hockey time in Texas. :)

[tubebender]

The guys in the Red shirts just beat the guys in the White shirts so there is one more game?

[SouthTexas]

Wrong game, we're in black and white. If it was the Red Wings (Detroit) they've clinched this round, Sharks are tied- one more there.

We finally got around to tying the score, just now! 1-1 about 1.5 minutes into the third period.

Did you figure out your machine?

[SouthTexas]

Uh, 2-1 Stars after another minute.

[SouthTexas]

3-1 Stars

2 minutes left!

[SouthTexas]

Modano with an open netter at the buzzer!

Stars - 4
Ducks - 1

Stars take the series 4-2. On to the next round!!!

[dfwgator]

Stars take the series 4-2. On to the next round!!!

FINALLY!!!!

[NYTexan]

Good job Stars!!

[luvie]

Glad I saw this. Yeeehaaaw for the Stars!

Who knew that a hockey team in Texas could be winning!

[SouthTexas]

Da*n!!!

Almost as much interest as the Mexican car race!

[tubebender]

You need to put things in perspective. The last time the fish pond froze over in Eureka Aunt Emma was just a gleam in Great Great Great Grampa’s eyes but according to my First Wife...I don’t remember where I was going this...

[tubebender]

My First Wife says Sandra Lee is a lush.

What should I season the Local Grown Lamb Chops with?

[SouthTexas]

I just got here so you have probably eaten, but I would use salt and pepper.

[tubebender]

but I would use salt and pepper.

You have been in communication with my wife haven't you? And I'll bet you were the one to tell her to bake it and leave old Tork alone...

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know , the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course,

As Sinko De Mayo.
