Indy 500…Or Bust…

I attended my first race car event ever on Sunday.  My BF took me to see the Indianapolis 500.  I’m not a race car fan myself, I’ve never actually sat and watched the Indy 500 or any other type of car race.  Although, recently I have seen snippets of some races because my BF is a HUGE fan of this type of stuff.  I didn’t know what really to expect.  I knew it would be a sight!!  I knew I would see drunks and lots and lots of Hillybillys!!!  But other than that I thought it would be a 2 or 3 hour race and then we would go home!! 

I can’t begin to explain what I saw or what I experienced!!  It’s unlike anything I’ve ever been to before.  Now, I’ve been to Grateful Dead Concerts and Lollapalooza Concerts, but neither of those compare to what I experienced over the weekend.  People camped out for days and days before the race.  We parked in a field about a mile from the track.  The field was filled with tents and campers and people tail-gaiting.  People were passed out amongst empty beer cans and bottles of cheap vodka.  It looked like a huge continuous party had been going on for days.  Good times!!

Did I mention the characters I saw?  There were plenty of characters!!  There were characters!!  People spreading the word of the lord amongst people spreading The Herps! 

Here are a few more pics…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pics were taken within the first hour.  When we finally got to our seats, wait, let me re-phrase, when we finally got to our bleacher, I was pooped!!  The race hadn’t even started yet!!  I was in awe of the spectacle of drunkards and attendees!!  It’s supposedly a “family event” but it was farrr from it!!  There were party revelers everywhere!!  When the track lets you bring in your own cooler full of food and beer and they have a designated area what they call the “Party Deck”, you know it’s going to be a good time!! 

Here are a few more pics from inside the track…

 All in all, it was a good day!!  My first Indy 500 went off without a hitch, I even made it onto TV.  These last few pics, Danica Patrick was hit by another driver in front of where I was standing, so I got a few choice pics of the situation!  I had a great time with the BF!!  He always takes me to the nicest places!!  I hope when I take him to Greece he will be just as impressed!!

FREAK!!!  But too funny!!!

 

Home toilet use for women!!

Last night I was on the phone with one of my girlfriends.  We were chit chatting, blah blah blah…  She asks me to hold on, in the background I hear water swooshing, gulping and gurggling. 

She gets back on the phone and I ask her, “Are you plunging the toilet?”  She replies, “The toilet is backed up and my husband will kill me if he finds out!” 

All right, all right.  I can feel the heat in my cheeks, my eyes are all aglow, goosebumps on my skin.  Now, if anyone knows me, they know I don’t back down from the difficult questions.  Like a 2 year old, here I go…

“Did you take a really big shit and flush too much paper?”   She said, No.

“Did you little boy flush his diaper down the toilet?”  She said, No.

Ok, I was hoping not to get to this question, but here it is.  “Did you flush a tampon down the toilet?”  She said, yes.  I said, “Don’t you know you never flush feminine products down your home toilet?”  She said, “yes, but I’m too lazy to properly wrap the products and throw them in the garbage.”  She said it also makes her sick to do so.  (Please keep in mind that all the while I’m asking her these questions, she is plunging the darned toilet.) 

Then she starts explaining that this is not the first time that this has happened, and the her hubbie in the past has expressed extreme distaste when she does this.  So she’s standing in her bathroom at 11pm vigorously plunging the toilet because she not only flushed the tampon, but the PLASTIC applicator and the plastic wrapper.  Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!  And she’s trying to clear the toilet before her husband comes upstairs and catches her.  Vigorously, she plunges on…  Finally, I hear the draining of the toilet and the sweet gurgle at the end.

********AFTER THOUGHT********

So, I posted this blog with a final thought in mind, and I never expressed that thought.  Here it is…

The moral to this story is, (sorry that I have to use CAPS, but it’s necessary) DON’T FLUSH YOUR TAMPONS DOWN THE TOILET IN YOUR OWN HOME!!!!!!  They are not good for your plumbing.  I’ve spoken to a plumber about this and he says that they can get stuck in the pipes, because, hmmm, they swell, they’re made of cotton and they absorb liquids!!  Save your plumbing, and wrap the item in TP.  That’s all I have to say about this…

Weird Sightings…

So, I see the weirdest crap on the train.  I don’t know how to classify this, however, I felt I needed to take a few pics and post.  Aye, yai, yai…  This girl has the most perfect hairline ever!!!  There’s no widow’s peak, no girly sideburns…  I wonder if she had major laser hair removal on her hairline. 

    

 

Another Strange Sighting…

Ok, I really love working in the city!!

Today, I was walking to the train, going home, and I saw 3 homeless gentleman were practicing their golf swing.

Hmmmm….

Mental note…I have to be quicker with the camera!!
