You guys don't know how lucky you are.
I still don't know if I will see a race at all today. My NBC station is showing a bunch of very drunk lawyers, drs and accountants falling off of floats trying to throw strings of beads down cleavage. Today had to be the day of Tampa's wannabee Mardi Gras, Gasparilla. If I get lucky, they may have fallen off enough ugly floats and been rushed to enough hospitals by the time of race 12. They pretend to be pirates. One float caught my eye. It's a flat-bed truck, dressed up in grey camo paint, with multi-colored ladies' backpacks and handbags. What that has to do with a pretend pirate invasion in the early 1800's I have no clue.
