Tequila Declared the Unofficial Alcoholic Beverage of the 2008 Olympics
Hot female Olympians from some country drink Tequila.
In a stunning email from some foreign-sounding dude with an official-sounding title -- Wait, is Slavka a dude's name? -- anyway, dude declared that Tequila is the unofficial alcoholic beverage of the 2008 Summer Games in China!
Or at least the Olympic Village, which is where the action really goes down, at least if you believe that weird looking dude, Bruce Jenner, who allegedly was the face of Wheaties before he bought his new face a few years ago, and supposedly got a gold in the Decathlon 40 or 50 years ago, from the looks of his neck.
What the hell? Clearly, someone gave me bad info! Bruce Jenner hasn't aged a day! Zero wrinkles from head to toe!
Um, yes, and the above statement has nothing to do with my finally, for once, taking the advice of legal counsel.
So drink up, you Tequila fans! And even you non-fans, for I'm sure there are a few of you too. I know I am and will continue to do so, meaning I'll be drinking shots and shots of Tequila, until the above photo is jarred from my consciousness, or me out of mine.
And in conclusion, yes, I apologize for this photo or, as they might say in Old Mexico, the birthplace of Tequila, "Holy Shit, Man!"
Are You Ready for Some Football?
That's like asking if I want my drink refilled. Or if I'm a fan of The Motorboat!
The correct answer, of course, is "YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT."
It's hard to believe but NFL training camp is just around the corner. In the interests of serving Doe-Nuts, we've put together some funny announcing cliches to help step up your commentary while watching games with your buddies. To get a head start, click here.
In the meantime, hopefully my Washington Redskins don't suck this year, although with Coach/Team President Joe Gibbbs retiring, this seems like a very sad and distinct possibility.
But enough bitching and moaning about Washington "sports" teams...
Who is your favorite NFL team and, perhaps more importantly, what's your beverage of choice while watching them play?
