Circular Quay - This race is full of speed which should set up nicely for this closer. The Derby was his first race in 8 weeks so he’s fresh.

Man, I’m hung over…and I have a boner.

Enjoy your Saturday.

Peace.

I called my mom on Sunday to wish her a Happy Mother’s day and made the mistake of telling her I was sunburned after spending Saturday at the pool. Mistake. I was then subjected to a 10-minute lecture on the dangers of the sun, and the proper use of sunscreen products.

Mother’s Day. The mother of all mail days.

Have you ever had too much month at the end of the money? 

I refuse to talk politics with someone who can name the final two contestants on American Idol, but has never heard of Karl Rove.

Schedule for the remainder of the week…
Thursday - Beers at Parties in the Plaza
Friday - Handicap the Preakness
Saturday - (AM) Post Preakness picks; (PM) Apply sunscreen, and head to the pool
Sunday - Special post for the 1-Year Anniversary of The Summer of Benny

WTF Headline - Thanks, well, you probably don’t want your name used.

We need some time to clear our heads…Keep on working ’til we’re dead

I learned an important lesson this weekend at the pool. You find out who your friends are when you ask for a little help applying Nair to some hard to reach places.

Losing weight can be a daunting task, so I decided to apply a helpful tool I learned during a brief stint in rehab; I got a sponsor. Choosing a sponsor is critical because whenever you feel like you’re going to slip, you can call this person for help getting through a rough period.

I chose my buddy Tom d G as my weight loss sponsor. The guy is an avid weight lifter, eats nothing but chicken and tuna, and can hula hoop with a Cheerio.

Last week, I was hungry and in a hurry; a bad combination. I called my sponsor but he didn’t answer. It was too late when he returned my call a few hours later. I had already enjoyed a #2 combo meal at White Castle.

Where’s that Rum Raisin?

Breaking News on CNN Headline Prime tonight - Anna Nicole: Will made public. Legal papers list her net worth as $710,000.

Breaking news sure ain’t what it used to be.

I’ve been there before…

That’s not going to be good for anybody.

Needless to say, this has been a pretty lame week for posts. I’ve had internet connectivity issues so I’ve been speaking with a lot of foreigners.

Customer service is taking a break in this country.

Yesterday I called my cell phone provider with a question about my broadband card. After a twenty-five minute wait, a guy with a heavy Asian accent came on and began to verify my account information.

I could barely understand the guy and would not be surprised if I was his first call.

“Has your name changed?” he asked.

“My name? Yes, my name has changed to Johnny Drama. Please update my account.”

“Not a problem, Mr. Drama. How can we help you today?” he replied.

Power Up my ass.

How I spent my Cinco de Mayo.

I know this has been around for a while, but RIP Laundry Room Girl.

Office Stress Ball - Thanks, Freddie R.

Piss Prank

Drop me in the water.

I haven’t been able to sleep since watching Entourage on Sunday. I sent the following email to the show’s creators.

For a show that prides itself on realistic portrayal of Tinseltown, someone sure missed obvious mistakes in last week’s episode 39: Return of the King.

Mistake #1: The Track
Vince and the boys were at Del Mar Race Track in San Diego. Ari was at Temple on Yom Kippur.

As everyone knows, the Del Mar meet runs from mid-July through Labor Day. Yom Kippur usually falls in late September or early October. 

On Yom Kippur, the Southern California racing circuit would have been running at Fairplex or the Oak Tree Meet at Santa Anita.

Mistake #2: The Race
The race shows the horses rounding the clubhouse turn on the dirt, racing on the turf course down the backstretch, and finishing on the dirt.

King Maker may have won a race at Belmont, but I doubt he sires horses bred to switch racing surfaces at the three-quarter pole.

Mistake #3: The Finish
As the horses approached the finish line, track announcer Trevor Denman calls out their horse, King’s Ransom, as closing on the outside. The #1, who for some reason is wearing a white saddlecloth, is outside of the #12. The next second, #1 is on the inside of #7, and #12 has disappeared. The finish was shown from a distance, but neither horse could be seen.

All of this is irrelevant of course because Entourage is one of the best shows on television. I’ll continue to watch, and dream of moving to California with a few buddies in tow.

If you ever film at the track again, or Drama has a scene where he gets drunk and wets the bed, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Benny
