Video: Ostrich and Camel Races Are as Amazing as they Sound
All, Video, X-Treme Sports! July 24th. 2012, 6:45pm
The Olympics begin on Friday, so we will finally get to see some wonderful, exotic sports that we don’t get to see regularly. Unfortunately, the London Olympics will not feature ostrich races this year. Or camel races. Thankfully, Canterbury Park in Minnesota does. Saturday was “Extreme Race Day” at Canterbury and the park raced both the majestic creatures. It was spectacular.

Another big lead post by our resident crack team of big lead fuckbag columnists. Good find guys. Very informative.
Days from the Olympics and we get this as our Olympic post? The depth of coverage here is undeniable!
Reportedly heard somewhere here today.
Thankfully, Canterbury Park in Minnesota does.
This happened in America?

CRM with the individually directed profanity: I approve of the new attitude.
I’m extremely disappointed with this post though. I though I was going to see camels vs ostriches … the hilarity and mayhem associated with that would be an awesome SEO victory
July 24th, 2012 at 9:42 PM
i feel like this post is meant to crush TBLAD. like the extra $10 for the server was too much so gotta keep the posts under 100 after some decent recent performances.

Eight fucking o’clock in the AM, man.
Do you think people actually drink hot tea with no “accouterments”?
Black tea, Jameson, honey, lemon, cloves. And … you’ll look all sophisticated drinking it.

July 24th, 2012 at 9:56 PM
hahaha well. i also have to make it through the day without running around the farmland naked. or without snapping and swearing and them or their daughter. i should have added we are talking about what they can see…i have no problem sneaking it in tea or whatever. they came home today at noon and i felt like i had to hide my bomber IPA or they’d be thinking “what a drunk”
July 24th, 2012 at 9:58 PM
if you are buying a house you obviously aren’t a bum, so drink up and tell them to get their shine box if they have an issue with it.

I’m with ya. Just make sure you do some hard work, that’s readily evident and makes you sweat a bit … starting at about 1:00. Win-win … earlier drinking time + score pts with the in-laws. And you might even feel good about yourself for a change.
/Maybe not. It’s 2:00.

i hear ya, except we have nowhere to go so they let us stay with them for 3 weeks, which turned into 6 weeks when our loan got denied. and we have a five-month old. i keep buying the dad selective brews trying to get him into better stuff than bud light, hoping he’ll drink with me. he just went to bed at 9pm. Damnit.

Eh, open a bottle and keep it in whatever room you are in. Better yet, just get some sort of booze and keep it in the room. That way your trips to the bedroom are more efficient.
/That’s what I do at my in-laws over the holidays
July 24th, 2012 at 10:15 PM
i still think intentional walks should be as easy as “we want to walk this guy.” no pitches thrown.

Excellent strategy. Nice game plan.

haha. like an hour and change from chicago.
way to detailed i guess, but the mom and dad are on vacation and spent 12 hours in 100 degree heat working on a new deck for their neighbor. meanwhile, i sent four emails and got some groceries while chewing tobacco and got home and said BEER TIME! i know they were looking at me funny.
July 24th, 2012 at 10:18 PM
Just wave at the hitter, dismissively of course. Could speed things up. Make it happen, ok?
July 24th, 2012 at 10:18 PM

You’ve obviously never seen a run scored on a wild pitch during an intentional walk.
Michael Bourn is the man. Perfect combination of redneck and ghetto – I hope the Braves re-sign him. Great player.

The best part is, we have the whole basement when I visit the in-laws and they never come down. Thanksgiving and Christmas are great because most of the extended family falls asleep after the meal upstairs and I go downstairs and watch football and enjoy illicit bourbon.

Are camel and ostrich races (at least once a year) not common at other places?
July 24th, 2012 at 10:23 PM
any hard alcohol will probably cause me to break into their safe and start shooting random animals with AR-15′s in the cornfields. i’m safer drinking strong beers for the time being. i could do bourbon but not if i started in the afternoon; i would die.

He’s the one player I wish the Astros had kept.

Same here. The wife watches Bravo or whatever and I turn the tv on and fuck around on the computer or read a book outside (more of the former this summer.) However, I just got Justified season 1 in the mail over the weekend and have been watching it. I didn’t get into that until the middle of Season 2. A bit of fun, if not formulaic the first few episodes, but then it got its overreaching plot going now (as opposed to one off episodes.) A fun ass show.
July 24th, 2012 at 10:26 PM
bulleit – indeed. my drink of choice. couple whiskey stones, splash of water. repeat.
July 24th, 2012 at 10:28 PM

Can’t have too many of those. You need to make sure your wife gets those in the will. Can never have too many of those… especially those purchased by other people … if you’re catching what I’m tossing here.

my wife competes in high-powered rifle competitions. and usually wins. i’m from the suburbs, she’s the country girl. she will get all the guns in the will…i’m more interested in the acres of crops they rent to farmers. not even sure how much that would amount to in the will.

I actually ran out of my Bulleit and am into the Evan Williams tonight (my BBQ and sauce bourbon). I must admit… it’s not terrible.

Cool. My daughter is a dead-eye with a bb and .22. I’d like to get her competing but it’s a bit of a logistical nightmare.
acres of crops
Turn it into pulp/pine forests. You sell the crop every 6-10 years and lease it every year to suckers that want to hunt it. The only real work is the original planting and 1st year growth.
July 24th, 2012 at 10:51 PM
i still think intentional walks should be as easy as “we want to walk this guy.” no pitches thrown.
You’ve obviously never seen a run scored on a wild pitch during an intentional walk.
there was an IBB in the reds-a’s world series in 74 in which the battery fooled the batter with a pitch down the middle. i think they had a 2-strike count and then chose to walk him…. it makes no sense but only because i’m not remembering it correctly. maybe i’ll look it up
July 24th, 2012 at 10:54 PM
it was 1972 WS
“A rare trick play occurred in the eighth inning. The Reds had Joe Morgan on third and Bobby Tolan on first base with Rollie Fingers pitching to NL MVP Johnny Bench. Fingers pitched carefully to Bench before Tolan stole second base on ball three. After the stolen base, with the count 3–2 on Bench, A’s manager Dick Williams visited the mound. After a long discussion, he motioned for an intentional walk to Bench. A’s catcher Gene Tenace stood to catch ball four, but at the last minute returned to his crouch as Fingers delivered a strike on the outside corner. A surprised Bench watched the pitch go by for strike three.”
July 24th, 2012 at 10:56 PM
KC – you may be the commenter that turned me on to Bulleit.
also might have been me. if so, hat-tip to my wife, who surprised me with it, as I’d never heard of it
July 24th, 2012 at 10:57 PM
would be cool if the pitcher or catcher told the batter about it, then lobbed a ball so the batter could catch it or even let it hit him in the back so he could pretend like he’s hurt. even if this happened once, it could be memorable.
July 24th, 2012 at 10:59 PM

last saturday, she gets home at 2am drunk as hell and asks me “why don’t guys know how to pleasure a girl” – i say “uhhh…you’re probably not getting with the right guys” – she says “do you know how?” – i said “well…” and looked over and she’s passed out. the next three days, she’s been f’n eyeballing me and smiling.

It is just almost so over the top and then the show redeems itself with witty dialogue and a cool long narrative arc. The DVDs advertised it as a modern western and that is pretty much what it is. Bad ass one liners, tons of violence and murders and a knowing wink that it is all just meant to be good fun. Hell, ever Dirt/Gaseous Clay never complained about it and he watches tv in order to hate it.

I’m actually working and channel surfing. Just happened to stop at Rizzoli and whatever. That’s some awful crap.
But I’ve had a crush on Sasha since NCIS.

Looks like he took a few shots at her chin.
I should qualify that by saying it looks like he punched her.

July 25th, 2012 at 12:26 AM
Cuervo
I haven’t bought any Cuervo product in years.
I probably buy a diff tequila every time I buy a bottle. Guy at the liquor store rec’d 3 Amigos – what I’m sipping right now – very, very nice. Before that, Camarena – meh – good for large batches of margaritas.
July 25th, 2012 at 12:27 AM
been there.
i’d at least like to give her advice but am afraid of what that would even do. so i just shun her basically. shit’s gonna be outta hand tomorrow because i think my wife wants to shoot her bf/booty call/stalker.

Bacardi has a dark rum that’s so rich it’s almost like Kahlua. Kinda nice actually.
Bought some Herradura tequila for a weekend with friends 2 weeks ago. Excellent.

they are fine. this one assaulted three girl roommates in college, had a restraining order, stole the girls facebook and email passwords for two weeks, and is two times the size of her.
you know the type. 25. thinks he’s an MLB player yet he’s playing in the northwest suburban palomino league that plays once per week. and has no job.

July 25th, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Hey Snickers, the peanut butter snickers should be one whole bar, not these two square hackjob. I remember in the 90s when they used to sell them that way. Also, Twix needs to go back to the old way of PB Twix. The chocolate cookie plus chocolate coating over the PB is bullshit. If i wanted a chocolate cookie, id go eat shitty oreos

that’s what they are doing! staying away. they even asked us at dinner if we were okay with him coming there to pick her up. the whole time she’s staring at me. i’m tempted to do some movie shit like Tombstone like when Doc was on the porch and said “I’m your huckelberry” and “youre a daisy if you do” but they probably dont want me busting all their guns out to do it.

i’m a former cyclist, yet even i was like SHUT UP when he tried to downgrade what i knew about HIS sport.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:17 AM
Yeah. F him. Even with no prior discussion he called me a prag for mentioning beer types because I was trying to get street cred. His words.
Vez and I were the only two here I believe when Vlad proposed to him. It was epic.

Rating the trailers that aired before TDKR:
The Watch – looks like shit but will make some good money due to the Stiller/Vaughn/Hill combo
Man of Steel – Christopher Nolan better make sure Zach Snyder doesn’t fuck up a superman movie
The Bourne Legacy – oh fuck yeah, all in. Bring it on right now.
I cant remember if there was another one

July 25th, 2012 at 1:20 AM
Never let me tell you you aren’t smart, Vez.
I had Man of Steel, which was nothing.
Gangster Squad, which will be fucking awesome.
Bourne just makes me want to read the books, but that’s too much of a commitment.
Oz looks like the Alice in Wonderland remake, which I’m iffy on, but it’s James fuckin’ Franco.

July 25th, 2012 at 1:31 AM
Meth, some time ago, Ballz was some dude well known as a former drug addict who was in CA that posted in TBLAD. Hated by many, but dont ask me because I missed a lot of it. Loves the SF 49ers.
Anyways, I was talking about quality beers with Vez, Ballz talked shit to me, Vlad Crouton (the Red Wings/NHL fan) popped on and started hitting on Ballz. It got really uncomfortable. Ballz claims he had to block him on FB. Vlad still posts here as if nothing happened. Ballz occasionally pops up like he probably will tomorrow. The End.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:32 AM
Karl Urban is a decent actor. Like him in Riddck and the Bourne Supremacy. He was ok in Star Trek
July 25th, 2012 at 1:34 AM
Chief,
There is supposedly another Riddick movie in the works with Diesel
July 25th, 2012 at 1:34 AM
i got distracted while typing the above Ballz post. She’s one knock away from your fiction writing career picking up…
July 25th, 2012 at 1:37 AM
That would be strange. Maybe Vlad misinterpreted ballz is stig for ballz in mouth.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:39 AM
Nah. It was BallzDeep at the time I think. Maybe that made it worse. But all I ever see from Vlad is RedWings or hockey shit and barely anything off topic. Ballz? Well…I think he had run-ins with everyone. Even Spencer.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:40 AM
It’s more than supposedly, they got it all worked out and will be out next year. Diesel is a producer and pretty sure has a company involved with the character/franchise – he’s a big part of it.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:45 AM
Chief, same deal with the Fast and Furious movies. He is a co-producer. I am Actually interested in the next one seeing the twist that was thrown at the end of 5.

July 25th, 2012 at 1:51 AM
agreed. but i dont think in my drunkest state that i ever hit on another dude. even online.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:52 AM
Now that you mention it rollo, when I first started here a few weeks ago vlad was the only one that responded to me. Must’ve been trying to serve up a Penn State supreme. All jokes aside, seems like an alright dude to me.
July 25th, 2012 at 1:55 AM
Yeah he has been and other than that time good to go. I’m not even trying to like call him out here, since it did happen and a lot of people saw it. And since Ballz was bitching at me, I was laughing and then awkwardly slid out the convo. It was just an event.
July 25th, 2012 at 2:01 AM
You’re not the only one that got shit about beer. People thought I considered myself “classy” because I drink Yuengling. They can all choke on one.

it’s hard to talk shit about anyone’s alcohol for me. i’m drinking watever is left in the in-laws fridge tonight and have gone from IPA to Wheat to Honkers Ale with some tequila in the middle.

July 25th, 2012 at 2:15 AM
haha. well…i temporarily live at my in-laws. in a ranch. cant get financing for a mortgage loan because even though we can put 20% down, we are buying a house in a “declining” area.
the bright side…i don’t work until August 22. So I can wake up whenever the F I want. and maybe have another beer! Oh shit,I drank them all.
July 25th, 2012 at 2:15 AM
I look at it like this: Talk shit about my beer, make fun of where I live, and banish me for my corny jokes (looking at you A.P.) all you want, because if you had that much of a fucking life or a job (looking at you again A.P.), then you wouldn’t be on here everyday. I’m no better, by the way.

I have a job. Its just not a consistent, reliable gig.
July 25th, 2012 at 2:20 AM

Man, I turned in early ’cause I thought things had died off.
Also, baseball-related: Hanley Ramirez traded to the Doyers, for Eovaldi and some other young pitcher. Hopefully, Hanley gets off the dime & makes a better effort.
