Midnight Marbles, where the fat lady's singin' for JJ

By Jay Busbee

Time for another Midnight Marbles! Your guest today, courtesy of reader Carol, is the fat lady. (This is an actual picture from Texas this past weekend.) So, your initial topic for discussion: has the fat lady sung for this year's Chase? Is it really over, or does Mark Martin have a wisp of a chance?

Beyond that, discuss whatever you like, and we'll see you right back here soon with more stuff.

    I just want to let it be known, until KingGeorgie shows up to play, the brat/biotch is in attendance. You have been warned.

    It's over! I watched the race Sunday live, where normally I tape it and watch at a later time, so I can skip through the idiot musical portion, and the redundant commercials. But Sunday, as I watched JJ take the car to the garage, I thought to myself, he's done, there's no way they could get that car back on the track. Boy was I wrong!!! Through a lot of hard work, and cooperation between teams, directed by the most focused crew chief I've ever seen, that car not only returned to the race, but ran sufficiant speeds to not be blackflagged! It was increditable to watch Knause direct all the different activities, not losing his cool, and getting the front end, rear end, and body panels all repaired and ready for racing. You might not like the Johnson/Knause combination, but you have to appreciate the work ethic and ability to push the envelope to the very edges.

    Lol Priss! I think there's still a ghost of a chance for someone else to win. Yes, the odds are astronomical, but who among us does not play the lottery on occasion?

    Hi Brini, Frev! Popping in and out; we went to the used book store today and piles of fun are ensuing. Someone hired that fat lady to sing before JJ got taken down a notch!

    hahahahaha Kim - No he didn't and he messed up his lines. He totally stole my heart all over again by botching his lines and looking sheepish about it. I turned and told my other half (who by the way was laughing and telling me be quite and don't wake the babies up) that he needed to just go on back and have another drink with Kid Rock and Kenny. lol

    Morning marbleheads. Missed the CMA, but you know the old saying, "Early to bed. Early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." I'm living proof that whoever said that, was a BIG, FAT LIAR! lol

    Morning Marbleheads, Just a quick note before I go to work, The people at the CMA"s must be on crack!!! To give Taylor Swift Entertainer of the Year over ANY of the other nominees is just wrong!!! She is not even that good and to beat out George, Keith, Kenny and Brad is downright laughable!! Just my opinion of course.
    MP good job by Junior. I knew he was gonna be on here, then it got so late I thought nah, must be a mistake, on that flub he made, it was kind of a tongue twister anyways!
    have a great day everyone, off to see if we still have a company left after being gone 5 days
    Rudy, by the way, that was Ben Franklin!

    cg - Imagine anyone calling Ben Franklin "a big fat liar"! And in capital letters also. The reason I said that cg, is because I retire between 7:pm and 8:pm, most nights, and arise between 3:am and 4:am. Got too many physical maladies to say healthy, not enough education too call myself wise, and as far as wealthy goes, FORGET IT! LOL
