Amazing Technology

I get a day off of work, and this is how I spend it so far... watching chili cook on Mark & Brain!!!



That's the completely as advertised Lovely Carly, assisting Gary Finneran making his famous filet mignon chili.



Lets see how long it takes to get a cease and desist from KLOS!!!



Now I'm very hungry...

"Dude, there's a Q-tip stuck into your ceiling."



"Yea, I know. I stuck it up in there."

"Don't take it out."

"Don't question it, just let the Q-tip be."

"Alright bud."

Race Day

So this was cool. Sammy calls me up at the beginning of the week and invites me to the opening day of the Toyota Gran Prix of Long Beach. It's right down from where he lives, and we haven't hung out in a while. Of course, it's on a work day, so I'd have to use a personal day. However, it worked out they had a Saturday shift opening, so I was able to swap it out!!!



Qualifying day, and it's not too crowded... when we got there!!! It filled up some as the day progressed.



We came upon the red car behind one of the businesses along the shoreline. There was NO ONE around, and there's a little stairway going up to it's platform. They MUST want people to go up and get in it!!! I jumped up in for a photo op, then took a couple of him. As we wrapped up, a group of old guys came along to get their own pictures. I mention to Sammy that in a couple of hours they'll probably have a line and be charging $5 a head to get your picture taken in it!!! A half a minute later, Sammy laughs and says we should set up and start collecting the money!!!



I like the juxtaposition of the picture of the cars doing 100+ right next to the 40 MPH sign.



They were doing LeMans qualifying when we first showed up. The Corvettes sounded the most awesomest.



The celebrity race qualifying was later on. Don't know how he did, but one of my favorites, Patrick Warburton, is involved. Keanu Reeves, Tony Hawk, and Patrick Dempsy will all be involved, too.
