I'm watching the Kentucky Derby

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

I think I just went back in time watching that crowd...further solidifying my fear of the south.

1. awww, but not all of us are THAT bad!

:P

[bigwillq]

2. No, just the rich people!

:P

[Ava]

5. exactly!

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Oh my God...they're discussing a $1,000 Mint Julep

The ice is from the artic (so that's where it's really going to), special Woodfern Reserve, etc. It goes towards retired racing horses. At least it's a charity thing.

Now, I spend way too much money on cigarettes & alcohol, but I can't imagine $1,000 on a single drink.

11. The cup is solid gold and the stirrer is sterling silver.

I wouldn't buy one either, but at least the money goes to a good cause.

And it's Woodford Reserve, Yankee heathen! :P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Whatever.

I drink Jameson.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. I have friends from the south and friends that moved down there.

I know it's not all of you. It's some of you. I also don't like the accents, but I know that's not your fault and doesn't keep me from being friends with non-scary southerners.

[Ava]

6. awww! you don't like my accent?

:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

4. I was just remarking to my house boy the other day....

...that stereotypes are fun...

:eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

7. Oh, and if you think everyone there is from the south, think again....

[Ava]

10. actually at least 50% are YANKEES!

you damn yankees! :P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. One of my friend's doesn't have much of an accent unless drunk or driving.

Once that road rage kicks in, it's one long rant about "us yankees!" It's actually pretty funny.

Of course, because of her, somewhere there is a picture in existence of me wrapped up in a confederate flag blanket. It will probably be used as blackmail one day.

[Ava]

16. damn yankees!

:P

[yvr girl]

9. lol

I thought your houseboy moved to Costa Rica

[GOPisEvil]

13. Ha!!

That he did...

[Scooter24]

12. I got $200 on Barbaro to win

Barbaro to win, Brother Derek to show

I'm such a sucker for these big horse races :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Congratulations!

I had $10 on Sinister Minister because I liked the name.

[Scooter24]

19. Sinister was my mom's pick too.

My dad sided with me on Barbaro.

Thanks :hi:

Edit: Paid $14.20.
