Way to go guys. Just watched it and that was a great call. Sounded like the announcer had some money on him, he was pumped!

It was an exciting race to watch with the dark skies and lighting and thunder looming not too far off. Just after the Colonel crossed the finished line, a hyperventivated Scav made a furious waddle up the porch near the winner's circle to the top of the stairs where the entire entourage of Team Green Bay was gleefully assembled. As Scav reached the rest of the pack, it was immediately noted that the rotund lad had a huge wad of foam/spit/snot/drool/??? flowing from his mouth around the side of his face. Uproarious laughter then mixed in with elation for the trip to the winner's circle. I know the horse worked its ass off running around the track but I have know idea what TommyBoy was doing during that 1:04:02. Reminded me of a story....

A penguin was driving his car through a little Texas town when he suddenly experienced car trouble. The car quit in the middle of the road near a mechanic's garage. The mechanic came out and looked at the car and said he'd need a few hours to assess the damage. To kill time the penguin walked around town until he found an ice cream store. The penguin was estatic and went inside and ate bowl after bowl of vanilla ice cream. By the time he finished he had ice cream smeared all over his face and walked back to the garage looking the same way.
When he walked into the garage the mechanic said, "Well, it looks like you blew a seal."
The penguin said, "No, I swear, it's just ice cream."

Bob, Chuck, et al - Congratulations - when I started to read this thread a smile spread across my face - we always knew he had it in him.

Does he realize that he won and is he just a bit more obnoxious now? How was he in the winner's circle? I imagine he thought a lot about himself!!!

And tell Jessica to stay the hell off of our horses - she is like one bad jinx....

My favorite part of today, outside of the incredible abuse I took at the windows, was you completely admitting that ST's story was completely true.

It figures I'd miss that day.

Listen, he has correctly recited other stories before.

I only argue the 'rotund' part and the seals getting blown part

Wow, he looked really good - the announcer did sound like he had a vested interest in Klink's win.

no worries, your last work was at Toga running uphill for gas almost 2 yrs ago! Almost had a work in Tiajuana in between but that had to be called off due to overzealous border guards. Not all that bad though you were a bit washy after Albin's race Sunday. I absolutely had a ball this w/e despte the setbacks and crazy father's day crowd.
