    I won't disagree about the cameras. I wonder how much of that was the course shape and color that made it more difficult to track? I enjoyed most of it but in the interests of full disclosure I was in a golf tournament Thursday-Saturday so I only watched on Sunday.

    Enjoy it while you still can - you will be among the first to be forced into the Thunderdome once the machines rise. Have you ever heard a robot laugh chillingly? You will.

    The first down line was great. But the "Puck-Track"? Probably the dumbest idea in TV sports, ever. That became such a joke here, it was ripped on by comics, commercials even other hockey announcers ("It's nice that up here we can still follow a black puck on white ice!").

    I remembered when the debuted that idiocy at the all-star game. I took about thirty seconds of watching before I switched back to CBC for the rest of my life.

    Are they bulletproof yet? No? Sounds like fun.

    For Father's Day, we went on a hike that is 99% walking uphill in order to get to one of the highest points in town. I have barely gotten out of bed since then because my legs are too sore to walk down the steps.

    Gmail now has an "undo send" feature. Once enabled (settings > enable undo send), you can basically take back a sent message for up to 30 seconds provided the recipient has not already read the E-mail.

    This feature would have saved my ass a few times. Feel that it's appropriate for the drunk thread.

    8-10 hours would be better. Enough time to hit "Send", drink a few more, sleep it off, and wake up and go "OH Shit!!"

    30 seconds when you're drunk means diddly squat, electrical impulses are still shooting around firing random neurons in your brain that have no clue they're colluding in a horrible idea,

    30 seconds when drunk will lead to 6 more emails being accidentally sent trying to "undo" the original for the next 45 minutes.

    I think e-bay should implement something similar. In the drunk purchases thread I posted about the Duster with a 440 that I ended up owning. I forget what I was trying to bid for it, something like $5300. But I typed in $53,000. At the last moment someone bid around $6500, which was the max of what the car was worth. My $53,000 bid trumped that. And I suddenly owned a 440 Duster with a narrowed rear end that I didn't really want or need. And I had to pay to have it shipped to me.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, I didn't pay $53K for the car. I would've thrown a shit fit over that. My $53K bid just automatically made my bid $100 over the highest bid.The whole situation was nowhere near as amusing as Nett finds it.

    Oh, that doesn't detract from the hilarity... the fact that you probably spent close to the price you paid just in shipping amuses me to no end.

    Yep. It was fucking hilarious.

    Shipping was only like $750 though...north Florida to Mississippi.

    Amazon's one-click purchase option is terrible for drunk purchases. And by the time you wake up in the morning, the item has already shipped so you can't cancel the order. I wish they had the option for a 24 hr delay on the processing of Amazon orders.

    It is amazing when you order something on Saturday in a haze and there it is on your doorstep on Monday.

    I drunk bought my wife a $1100 diamond necklace on Amazon for our 5 yr anniversary. This in itself is not bad, except that I thought this was a good idea, having already bought her a washer/dryer combo that was a little north of $3k.

    It is a pretty cool set that I'm sure I'll use to prune some pine trees for shits and giggles so it's not a total loss. I know at one point I was looking at a "for real" cutlery set but didn't pull the trigger. I'm not sure that would have been a huge mistake either. Still might buy it one of these days.
