In just a little while we’ll be off once again to the land of unlimited beer, unlimited food, quasi-legal sports wagering, and 80’s cover bands: Derby Day. The weather looks like it’s gonna be smack-u-in-tha-grill fantastic. Pics will follow, no doubt.

‘Til then, I take you all back to 2004, when I put together this slideshow with a little help from Luda.

Enjoy. Oh, and proceeds from Derby Day go to the Shepherd Spinal Rehab Center, so I can feel good about myself even after I’m reduced to rolling around in my own vomit half-naked.
