It was named for the Earl of Derby or somesuch, and not for the hat.  It was on the radio this morning.

I know the race was not named for the hat.

But at an event that celebrates millinery madness, a few prominently displayed derbies would almost seem to be mandatory.

Is it a tradition for men to wear distinctive hats at the Kentucky Derby? I thought that was just a thing for women.

I guess this is just me but personally I feel that a Kentucky Derby ought to be an occasion for racing fried chickens.

I recently learned in another forum that Seattle Slew was the only Triple Crown winner who did not have centaur ancestry.

Watching MotoGP from Le Mans. Those guys are certifiably crazy.

Local news. The ATF is holding a press conference about the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas several years ago. They've declared it a criminal act.

Anyone seen the movie Sneakers? It's like a heist movie with a bunch of hackers set in the early '90s.

Pokemon: Galactic Battles, still trying to sync it with my Pokemon Platinum replay, with some success. Right now I'm up to the Team Galactic climactic three-parter.

Star Wars IV, 2004 edition.

I do not care for the Jabba scene. We just had this conversation like two minutes ago with Greedo. It's redundant. It annoys me with its pointlessness.

(also the Greedo costume gets reused like six times after Greedo dies, including three times in the Jabba scene)

Could have been members of the same species that are not Greedo.

Cricket, live on Willow. Zimbabwe v India in a One Day International match.

By this time tomorrow, I will be sleeping (I hope) off the aftereffects of watching the Firestone 600 IndyCar race from the grandstands of the Texas Motor Speedway with Mrs. Prof and our son! (I wish his wife could come along, but she has asthma to the point where the smell of burning Firestone tires would probably give her an attack.)

I know, but I wonder how many people were like "Wait, is that Greedo? Didn't he die in the last scene?"

Or the worse implication, "Sorry. You know all you Greedos look alike."

There are a lot of species that do all look alike, nothing saying that not being able to tell them apart is in and of itself racist.
