Why I'm sittin' out season 3

JDC442 Tuesday, 10/26/2010

Here's the reason I'm sittin' out the next season
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox
Calvin: my little guy at one week old. Future Hot Wheels Racing enthusiast!

I spent way too much time totally nerding out the first two seasons (especially season 2) making charts and comparing cars, in order to make the best picks. So I promised his mom that I'd sit this next season out to be sure I would spend what little spare time I now have helping with the little guy.

Congrats Jim! Calvin...awesome name. Hope he's not as devious as Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!

Hey, don't sit out...just do what I do...and go with the car you want to win!

Good luck getting some sleep my friend!

Love Calvin's shirt!

Yeah dude, just scale back your thinking a bit and you can still play. Do what a lot players do even, just pick the car that *looks* fast It's still fun, even when you're not crunching numbers and doing your own test runs.

Or maybe I just need to make a smartphone-friendly version so you can play covertly. I do intend to investigate what it would take to port some of the game over to Facebook, but all in good time.

Nonetheless...have fun being a dad!

Loving the Calving and Hobbes comment. I love Calvin and Hobbes comics. You need to get him a stuffed tiger ASAP and name it Hobbes =) Congrats on the little one.

Indeed, Calvin and Hobbes was my favorite comic and therefore the main inspiration in naming him. We haven't found a tiger for him yet, but it's definitely a must!
Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I'll send you a transmogrifier as a baby gift.

Nothing better than Calvin and Hobbes. My 9 year old has read them all, got him the master collection for Christmas last year and I often find him asleep with one of the books open. Always good for a laugh.
