Not NASCAR by any means - I lump the NASCAR shillhouette series into the
Ca$hCow$ being milked for maximum profits. Motorcycle racing (except
stadium-cross)and Formula One are my chosen forms of motorsport.

Of the ball sports - soccer is pretty decent and I enjoy watching it
sometimes--- at least the amateur versions and the World Cup where individual
egos aresubsumed in a fit of National Pride  Bv)=

Stick and ball stuff, as I have said here before - girls/ladies fast
pitchsoftball ... even if some of the "girls" are better men than thee and me.

That would depend on the size of the serve to which he is adding the
mustard.Once at my local lunch spot of the Chinese persuasion (Tai Pan) I had
asked formustard to put on my egg roll. When the shrimp cashew nuts came I
squirtedabout a teaspoons worth into the rice. Yeeeee Haaaaaa!!! Woke me right
up, cutmy sinuses loose and didn't quite give me the hiccups. And I am a fan
ofChinese-style mustards.

I answered the "do these jeans make my butt look fat" question honestly -
