If it lasts less than 60 seconds, I doubt Durkin can call it. :D

Coach Pants 07-23-2007 10:38 PM

Bababooyee will rendezvous with his super secret DT lover and in retaliation his wife sobstory will hold everyone at the bar-b-q stand hostage until all of them have paid attention to her.

he's The Indomitable DrugS cousin who came over from Italy back in 1985.

he's better known though for his numerous non-sensical and idiotic posts.

he's one of the all time great posters in two seperate categories. number of posts, while the other category is most inane posters ever.

one of his most famous beliefs (from 2007!!) was that, and I kid you not, that TGM was going to win grade 1 races.

The Indomitable DrugS 07-24-2007 01:40 AM

I have no Italian cousins....sadly.

Bigsmc 07-24-2007 03:36 AM

Coming to you live from Stafford VA. In route to the Spa.
 
-Bigsmc will drink several cold beers.
-GPK will give Bigs 18 strokes on Friday....and beat Bigs by 36.
-Bigsmc will drink several cold beers.
-Scavs will go on tilt when he pounds the first pick 3 of the meet, only to be beaten by In Orbit (DWL) in the 2nd. Several DTers have to talk security out of booting Scavs after he lights his tickets on fire and goes off on an obscenity laced tirade.
-Bigsmc will drink several cold beers.
-After the "scene" the first 3 days at the BBQ, Steve Byk has second thoughts about broadcasting every day from the patio.
-Bigsmc will drink several cold beers.

My friend...with the amount of beer you and I are about to consume this week, your wife may never want to hear my name come out of your mouth again.:D

Like you said...we don't have drinking problems...its the stopping part that gets us. And, since today is the first full day of my vacation, I will get some practice in today while laying by the pool.

Storm Cadet 07-24-2007 07:52 AM

Who will be the 2007 version of Chantal Sutherland?? Relative low% jock to major tracks who brings some $100 plus bombs frequently early in the meet, pulls a minor stakes upset and gets on the cover of DRF and all the other major tabloids, then disappears from sight the last weeks?

hoovesupsideyourhead 07-24-2007 08:31 AM

no 4.. the tote will be fubar the first day.....some dters will get screwed over by the new tellers..
