On my "Never on Sunday" diet. Venison cutlets today.

[tubebender]

Don't tell anyone but a lot of players left Flash in the pits. Please don't ask me how I know...

[NYTexan]

Crash gets loose and almost takes out JJ

[SouthTexas]

Seems as though, but it may just be the late start.

I'll scan one and send it. Let me know if you like it.

[GRRRRR]

Only 21.99% of YahooFRL took the 24 today...

[budman_2001]

WWWW stoodiously and cautiously put the #24 on the A-team, and it looked AWFUL after qualifying 36th.

Lookin' pretty good right now, as long as it holds with 80 laps to go.

[SouthTexas]

Suppertime. I'll be back....

[glock rocks]

74 to go and they're running a State Farm commercial disguised as a HANS device tutorial. Blecchhhh.
