I've been watching the Belmont analysis up here in Chi-town, wondering how Big Brown could fuck it up so bad, when ABC cuts coverage with the following announcement:
We have a large tornado that has been on the ground for some time, causing significant damage... This tornado is about a half mile wide, and it continues to move...
From Wikipedia:
Most tornadoes have wind speeds between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 110 mph (177 km/h), are approximately 250 feet (75 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before dissipating.
For reference, a half mile is 2,640 feet... that is simply fucking ridiculous. And oh, hey, now my TV is blaring high-pitched squeals on the emergency alert system issuing a tornado warning for all of Cook County (the greater Chicago area).
The closest I've ever come to severe weather was a tornado that missed my town by about a half mile while in college (sky turned green, ridiculous hail, good times were had) and a hurricane that had worked its way far up the east coast and just dumped rain for a few days. How about you, SE++? Have you escaped the clutches of X-TREME weather? Should I take cover (preferably in a bathroom, avoiding all windows and glass) or continue drinking Corona?
Alternatively, no Triple-Crown for you, Big Brown!

That's about it.
And as noted, there is always the alternate topic of Big Brown's embarrassing defeat. I wonder how much money was lost on that today...
I have watched one touch down from less than 2 blocks away
Didn't Brooklyn get eaten by a tornado like last year

Haven't you heard? Cell phones just churn out the brain cancer.
They are brain cancer factories.
Yeah, so did I. I really admire the jockey for pulling up on the horse with plenty of race left, taking the major loss but making sure he didn't hurt him.
I did, however, win $20 at the track today, so I am happy with the state of horse-racing in my world.
Fuck that noise. Wait for the bold.
(I actually do have one of these)
though BB best get their shit together and give us GSM curve users OS4.5 already. I want my fucking video recording.
hard and fast
I was looking at the Razr v2
But maan it really doesn't look like it's worth the money
then we've got the LG Shine, but I am not a fan of the color or design
you're on ATT? Get a curve, dogg.
OS X iPhone?
we don't have too much, that's the problem
and data plans are expensive as all hell
and I thought I heard the LG shine was indestructible
I GOT THIS SHIT
I want the iphone more than anything
but it's going to come out in Canada on rogers
rogers has the worst coverage in history
I think it's more that your carrier needs to go 3G already (as does mine).
The best phone
that is the exact phone I want but it's on verizon and not out in Canada
