23868. anomie - 4/6/2008 5:09:53 PM Yep. Last time for any kind of car race. Although, I do remember a time when I was very young going to races on a wet clay track, where old beaters would slide around an oval track. And then the main event was a demolition derby. It was fun. Don't think I could handle the noise and smoke these days though. 23869. anomie - 4/6/2008 5:10:36 PM Indy 500 is formula one, no? 23870. wonkers2 - 4/6/2008 8:17:00 PM I'm not sure. Indy is not listed on the Formula 1 championship circuit. 23871. robertjayb - 4/6/2008 9:27:27 PM Indy is not formula one...here is an indy car:
 23872. anomie - 4/6/2008 10:12:10 PM Not NASCAR either. Shows what I know. So what do you call this kind of car/race? Looks like a Grand Prix car, but of course Indy is not a Grand Prix race. 23873. alistairConnor - 4/6/2008 10:44:42 PM Indy is to Formula One what American football is to rugby. i.e. de-skilled and dumbed down.
[battens down hatches...] 23874. magoseph - 4/6/2008 11:08:51 PM Magos, are you around? How's it going?
We're okay, Judith. I'll call you as soon as I can. 23875. anomie - 4/6/2008 11:13:16 PM I don't doubt you AC. I know little to nothing about car racing or rugby, and I care little for football. Everyone should take up baseball, I say. We could even add a tea break and lunch for the cricket crowd. 23876. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 4:36:37 AM alistaire is just trying to start an argument about football v. rugby. I understand he's a devotee of quoits and croquet when he's not participating in bedroom sports, that is. 23877. alistairconnor - 4/7/2008 10:06:06 AM Quoits and croquet are ALSO bedroom sports. You Americans don't know what you're missing.
23878. alistairconnor - 4/7/2008 10:10:45 AM Quoits and croquet are ALSO bedroom sports. You Americans don't know what you're missing.
23879. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 2:03:20 PM Ha! I guess you're right. 23880. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 2:06:26 PM Speaking of Forumla 1 Spitzer is a piker compared to Max Mosley. Those Brits are really kinky! 23881. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 2:48:22 PM A "private matter" 23882. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 2:51:39 PM NY Times on Mosley23883. thoughtful - 4/7/2008 3:02:11 PM Fingers crossed, we're supposed to break ground today.
 23884. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 3:10:46 PM Darn civilized, those Brits: "Meanwhile, whilst still naked Mosley drinks a cup of tea with several of the hookers."
Didn't intend to ignore you Thoughtful. Good luck on the project! Have a cup of tea! 23885. magoseph - 4/7/2008 3:34:38 PM Hello, everyone--I just talked to Judith and learned that her computer is on the lam for a couple of days.
Glad for you, thoughtful, I'm looking forward to read about the house's progress.
How's the Cap'n today, Wonk?
23886. alistairconnor - 4/7/2008 5:01:43 PM Cap'n Dirty sez : "Quoits are for sissies. Americans use horseshoes!" 23887. wonkers2 - 4/7/2008 5:12:27 PM The Cap'n's enjoying the latest sex scandal. The Brits make Spitzer and Clinton look like rank amateurs.
The Brits prefer indoor sports using whips and chains, followed by tea!
