2012 Winter Beerlympics

17 Feb

 

Well this will be brief. I just wanted to give you a quick recap of the Beerlympics from Saturday. Once again we didn’t win. However, we did do pretty well considering we had a teammate bail at the last minute, as well as his alternate. We ended up getting there about 30 minutes before it started and frantically calling everyone we could think of to try and get a fourth team member. I eventually had an announcement made on the mic that we were one short and if anyone was spectating that wanted to play, they should come on down.  Thankfully, someone did. I cant remember your name bro, but to the guy in the Miami Marlins hat, good job.

 

We decided to go to quarters first since it was the closest event.  We ended up going 3-1, so a pretty good start. Turns out the team we played lost every event, and that was their last. We then went to flip-cup, which worked out because there wasn’t a line.  Funny thing is, as soon as we were ready to play our new partner, lets call him Marlin, went missing.  15 minutes later he shows up complaining about how long the bathroom line was. We all believe the truth to be he was dropping a deuce. We ended up going 3-1 on flip-cup as well, and the one we did lose was crazy close. This would come back to haunt us, as we missed out on the bonus points for a sweep.

 

So on to the final event, Beer Pong. The wait time was ridiculous. While waiting we did learn of the passing of Whitney Houston, and got to watch some drunkards sing along to the music. We drank a few beers, and waited some more.  When we eventually did get called to play, it was almost time to turn in the score cards. I don’t remember the name of the team we played, but two of the four needed a throat chop. I’m not sure what was worse, their stupid f’n dancing between every made shot, or her lack of ability to listen to the rules and follow instructions.  We won both games games, one by two cups, and the other by four. Too bad when I turned in our score cards I shorted us by reporting three instead of four; not sure if it would have mattered or not.

 

So another Beerlympics comes and goes without a trip to the finals. We will be ready for the Summer edition. I need a hookup on t-shirt screen printing if someone reading this knows of someone/somewhere.

 

A Few Beer Jokes for Humpday

12 Oct

Here are a few jokes to help you survive the week. Cheers!
Beer or no Beer
After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, “Hey Senor, I would like the world’s best beer, a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, “I’d like the best beer in the world, give me ‘The King Of Beers’, a Budweiser.” The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, “I’d like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.” He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, “Give me a Coke.” The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?” and the Guinness president replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither would I.”

Free Beer
Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn’t have a lot of money between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of 50 cents. Murphy said, “Hang on, I have an idea.”
He went next door to the butcher’s shop and came out with one large sausage.
Shamus said, “Are you crazy? Now we don’t have any money left at all.” Murphy replied, “Don’t worry – just follow me.”
He went in to the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson whisky.
Shamus said, “Now you’ve lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven’t got any money!!” Murphy replied,
“Don’t worry, I have a plan. Cheers!” They downed their drinks.
Murphy said, “Ok, I’ll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.”
The barman noticed them, went berserk and threw them out.
They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk all for free. At the tenth pub, Shamus said, “Murphy, I don’t think I can do any more o’this. Me knees are killin’ me!” Murphy said, “How do you think I feel? I lost the sausage in the third pub.”

Sea of Beer
Two men were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freight vessel. While rummaging through the  boat’s provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, one did come forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that she could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, “Make the entire ocean into beer!” Immediately the Genie clapped her hands with a deafening crash, and the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished to her freedom.  Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the one whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke: “Nice going! Now we’re going to have to pee in the boat.”

 

No Bait
Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait. Just then he happened to see a little snake passing by who had caught a worm. The fisherman snatched up the snake and robbed him of his worm. Feeling sorry for the little snake with no lunch,he snatched him up again and poured a little beer down his throat. Then he went about his fishing. An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his pant leg. Looking down,he saw the same snake with three more worms in his mouth…


Female Hormones
Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn’t drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong. No further testing is planned.

Beer on the Job
While most companies refrain from allowing consumption of alcohol on the premises, there are some arguments for changing that policy.
Reasons for allowing drinking at work include:
1. It’s an incentive to show up.
2. It reduces stress.
3. It leads to more honest communications.
4. It reduces complaints about low pay.
5. It cuts down on time off because you can work with a hangover.
6. Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear.
7. It helps save on heating costs in the winter.
8. It encourages carpooling.
9. Increases job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don’t care.
10. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
11. It makes fellow employees look better.
12. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
13. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
14. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
15. Suddenly, farting during a meeting isn’t so embarrassing.
16. No one will remember your strip act at the Christmas Party.

 

My Wife Left Me
My wife left me… I don’t understand.
After the last child was born, she told me we had to cut back on expenses – I had to give up drinking beer.
I was not a big drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends.
Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day when she came home from grocery shopping. The receipt included $45 in makeup.
I said, “Wait a minute I’ve given up beer and you haven’t given up anything!”
She said, “I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you.”
I told her, “Hell, that’s what the beer was for!”
I don’t think she’ll be back

 

Cancer
An Irishman named O’Malley went to his doctor after a long illness.
The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked O’Malley in the eye, and said, “I’ve some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can’t be cured. I’d give you two weeks to a month to live.”
O’Malley was shocked and saddened by the news, but of solid character. He managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor’s office into the waiting room. There, he saw his son who had been waiting. O’Malley said, “Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t so well. I have cancer, and I’ve been given a short time to live. Let’s head for the pub and have a few pints.”
After three or four pints, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were eventually approached by some of O’Malley’s old friends who asked what the two were celebrating. O’Malley told them that the Irish celebrate the good and the bad. He went on to tell them that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, “I’ve only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with AIDS.”
The friends gave O’Malley their condolences, and they had a couple more beers.
After his friends left, O’Malley’s son leaned over and whispered his confusion. “Dad. I though you said that you were dying from cancer??? You just told your friends that you were dying from AIDS!”
O’Malley said, “I am dying of cancer, son. I just don’t want any of them sleeping with your mother after I’m gone.”

 

Irish Toast
John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!”
That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!
He went home and told his wife, Mary, “I won the prize for the Best toast of the night”
She said, “Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?”
John said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.”
“Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!” Mary said.
The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, “John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary.”
She said, “Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he’s only been there twice in the last four years.  Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.”

International Beer Day

06 Aug

International Beer Day takes place on August 5th, with the goal of bringing the world together in celebration of beer. I personally try to celebrate it at least weekly. It was first celebrated in August of 2008, and was founded in 2007 by Jesse Avshalomov, Evan Hamilton, Aaron Araki, Richard Hernandez, Tyler Burton, and Ryland Hale. It is now celebrated in at least 23 counties. In other words, all the cool kids are doing it. Come on, you know you wanna try it. So grab some friends and head to the nearest bar, pub, brewery, backyard, beer garden, watering hole, or neighbor’s garage and grab a brew or 12.
