i went to lexington (kentucky) this weekend

i went to lexington this weekend for the pony races at keeneland and then on to watch the outside of the stadium at the university of kentucky while they upset south carolina (who upset alabama last week).
it was a great weekend and i wanted to share some of the flavor with the internet here.

after overserving myself friday night, i was treated to a magical cinnamon breakfast feast complete with mimosas saturday morning.


we are both named joel, but only one of us is divorced. you guess which is which. (bloody mary marks drink number 3 for the day. time is about noon)


the view of the pony show at keeneland. i bet 20 bucks and walked away with 26 bucks. "daddy please" to show in race 2 please. please.



who is that pretty pony with the pretty pink dress on. can i touch it?


toot toot tooooooot. ima blow my whistle before the ponies get in their cages so you know to pay attention to what happense next. after this is over ill be going back to the lollipop guild.


anyway, after we left the pony show we hightailed it over to the university of kentucky to tailgate and continue our drunk. we parked in a secret person's driveway and walked through the secret garden to get to the stadium. i was told that bourbon would be the weapon of the evening.


we made it! the university of kentucky high school. just kidding, it was perfectly nice. me and the hamster (pictured) mixed and spinned all around it.


after the game we ended up dancing the night away at this random hole in the strip mall bar where this guy played some songs. he was announced as a nashville recording artist (natch) and i dont remember anything about him (natch).


the end?

ATTENTION! chloe has an announcement :

while i haven't completely given up hope that tennessee could end up in the national championship game (fingers crossed!), it's about that time of the season where my pride and allegiance inevitably expands to include all of the SEC. so, i'm glad to see that in its first week of publishing offical rankings, the BCS at least had enough sense not to rank both boise state and TC-whom? above the highest ranked undefeated SEC team, the auburn wild war tigerhawks.

it's just too bad that the top 3 teams on this list don't have much chance of moving, since they play a total of 3 ranked teams over the remainder of their collective schedules (BSU doesn't play any, of course), while the 3 SEC contenders in the top 10 still have to collectively face eight (8) top 25 opponents, including each other. oh no, but yeah. no. the SEC is not the toughest conference. no.

your thoughts?
ps, has mississippi state ever been ranked before, do you think? anyway, GO VOLS!

did you ever wonder what a sea lion smile looks like?

he's got a damn floating / moving green on his golf course! he's probably right about it probably being the most recognizable object in the state of idaho though...
