Flower Power

[AKguy 1]

I'll have whatever these guys are having.

Don't get it

Oh, ho hum.

Brad ...if you tell your wife the flowers came from Kroger and she says "but that is a grocery store" you can say "but they make the flowers for the Kentucky Derby" at which paoint she can say "Great! You got me flowers wherwe they make flowers for horses!" But honey...they are YOUNG horses (derby entrants are not more than 3 years old, most are two years old) As if that would somehow make up for "saying " she is like a horse. Never mind.

OHHHH! Now I get it!

But you are from Alaska. Brad is right near Churchill Downs. C'mon Brad.

That was my point exactly. Why would any husband in his right mind take THAT position on Women's Day? Congratulations honey, these flowers come from the place that hangs flowers on horses!

OK - here's the deal. I will tell my wife exactly that (above), as soon as you post a picture of you hanging a horse wreath on Alla. Deal?

I posted a photo of Alla hanging a leg wreath on a horse. Does that count?

I never suggested you take that position, I wouldn't. Sorry, I thought you didn;t get the joke. NM

My guess is he used the Kroger in Stoneybrook and that is as real a florist shop as you will ever see. The do, indeed, make the Rose wreaths for the winner of the Kentucky Derby...the "Run for the roses" made at Kroger. All kidding aside, that is the most watched sporting event in the world and I am sure they do not choose just anyone to make the crowning achievement of a 2 week event. And YES, in Louisville, it is a 2 week event.

besides, if he bought her a flower at the Shell station it would be more than you do.

In terms of number of people watching that particular event...all 2 minutes of the race, worldwide, there is no contest. Horse racing is the most popular spectator sport in the world, the Derby is the most popular 2 minutes in sport.

The trouble is that if you live here in Derbytown, that two minutes comes at a terrible cost in terms oof traffic, crowds, and pains in the azz! When people as "what are you doing for Derby?", I always say that I am leaving town if possible

True, but "Thunder Over Louisville" was worth it. A few years ago they did the "reenactment" of Pearl Harbor and I had to wonder what people driving across the bridge had to think when they saw the Jap Zeros zooming down and bombing the barges/battleships in the river! Imagine some family driving down to Florida from Chicago looking out the window into the prop of a WW2 fighter and explosions in the river. #######!!!!!!!!

I tried to stay away from downtown projects during that two week period!
