So how lame is this. I wake up this morning to learn my Derby pick scratched out because of a hurt left ankle.(Random side note, that's the same foot I rolled last week on the way to work.) I had picked my horse, "I Want Revenge", a week ago so I could make sure I had a decent horse for the Derby. So I called up my parents' house, and picked a new one, "Desert Party", which although it didn't have great odds, it should have done reasonable well. But then, as I'm sitting here in my apartment, eating Derby pie and drinking virgin Mint Juleps with some friends, not only does my horse lose, which really was fine by me, but some random long shot named "Mine That Bird" comes out of nowhere and wins. This horse was like a 50-1 chance of winning, or something like that. Oh well, Derby always gives us surprises.
My money is on that "Bird" doesn't make it through the full Triple Crown.

Who the heck is "Mine That Bird"!?

I also picked Desert Party, but only because I initially thought his name was "Dessert" Party. So I wasn't that sad he didn't win. Also, I am a HUGE fan of Bones.
Derby pie was the best. I can hardly wait until next year!
