Teblown

sarah — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:27:03 +0000

Looks like God had a night off for the NFL’s “Golden Boy” and exploited the fact that Tebow has just been lucky, not skilled. You can’t rush your way to QB greatness! And with the Lions late game charge for a TD under the 2 minute warning bringing their score 28-27 against the Raiders, the AFC West is still a crapshoot. Now let my Chargers get their game on for an almost perfect Sunday. Ok, KC won too making them still somehow a favorite in the face of a weird 4 way tie, but I still don’t consider them a contender. So please whoever I need to worship to, let SD take this one…

New Zealand road trip

I’ll pass on making excuses for not posting much lately- just push that awkwardness aside and check out one amazing trip of a lifetime to New Zealand that has made it too busy to blog lately. Next time, I’ll smuggle my friends in a suitcase!

This is the life!

Doesn’t get much better than this- I’m having a blind, impromptu stout tasting (Bourbon County, KBS, Black Albert) and watching Top Gear. I don’t really recommend beer tasting and UK Top Gear- you’re inclined to pee your pants. Esp. the episode with the Reliant Robin 3 wheeled car. I mean, how many times can you dump a car on it’s side (on a cricket field, in front of the BBC camera crew… twice!) without getting sick of lying sideways on the road. And how did this car ever get made??? So if you’re thirsty and have great bladder control, feel free to laugh along!

stocking stuffers

aero kits, stealth i/c, snow rubber, and some other stuff

Xmas No-L (W’s only…)

sarah — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 19:51:22 +0000

I just did inventory of all my patio furniture (surprisingly, hanging on) but it’s doing much better than the Chargers did last night- straight blown away by the Bengals. And during a game where they were missing their two best (and craziest) receivers- Owens and Ochocinco! Of all teams, if you’re going to puke all over your playoff hopes, why let a 4-11 team do the clean up? KC had already won their game earlier, so a win was San Diego’s only lifeline for this season. Instead, a 4^th quarter interception (later carried for a Bengals TD) was pretty much the nail on the coffin. Sure, I get that it was cold. I’ll send you namby-pambies some long johns and furry slippers next year. But there were only a few flurries in the air, and you guys got snowballed on the field. Get a bus home from Cincy. Walk if you have to. Give yourself some time to contemplate how the tortured SD fans feel. Can’t just one of our sports teams bring us a ring or trophy or something?

One happy ending- Mike Tolbert looks like he’ll be OK after face planting in the ground until being carried off on a stretcher.

Time for some Holiday Beer (er cheer, holiday cheer…)

sarah — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 02:05:51 +0000

’tis the season for driving under the influence of spiked eggnog. Not me- the old ladies donning their blublocker sunglasses, shopping for hideous holiday sweaters for their coal-deserving grandkids and soccer moms with candy cane painted nails and five designer golden rings whipping through the mall parking lot like they stole the sleigh! TG I’m done with my shopping- thanks Amazon.

Now I can enjoy the holiday from the (southern) comfort of my bar stool. And since you boys and girls have been nice all year, I’m giving you a few naughty cartoons about the meaning of Christmas.

BTW, best holiday quote ever: “I’ve put the Christmas tree out with some pussy.” (Top Gear UK)

Happy Holidays!!!

Cars, Pole-dancers, and beer

SEMA 2010: insane huge car show; more people than the annual porn convention in Vegas

Car show coverage starts on page 1, but if you just want the nightlife antics from the MotoIQ staff (uh hem… clubs, strippers, and drinking), you’ll want page 6 (unintended pun).

Victory Yakima something or other

sarah — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:04:13 +0000

Victory’s Yakima Twilight is getting a name change. Yakima Glory will be released on October 26, 2010. The video here explains the reason for the new name and offers a description. Feel free to replace the A in Ale in their logo with a HO.

A–>HO (hehe, these jokes kill me every time). Why you ask?

Yakima Glory? Really folks, not the best name. Kinda sounds like Yakima Glory Hole. Was Yakima Dusk taken? Or Yakima Sunset? How about Yak-i-ma Backseat (after drinking too many beers)? If you read the description, Yakima Glory Hole is pretty fitting…

“big, juicy… smoothly into rich, dark… deliver complex satisfaction with a warming edge…” I rest my case! Good thing the flavor is better than the name- hoppy nose with a roasty, dark fruit finish.

Onto some viral marketing- if you haven’t caught Victory’s commercial online (scroll down a few posts), you must check it out. This beats the typical NSFW emails Richard spams our inboxes with!

Christmas in October

sarah — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:31:13 +0000

It was a twinkling of red and green here in the City of Brotherly Love, as both the Eagles and the Phillies won last night. Oswalt is my new idol- the man can handle fly balls in left field, dominate on the mound (8 innings last night), and even help himself out a little with a nice hit up the middle. He advanced to 2nd on the next play, then towards 3rd on a nice hit to right and ignored all stop signs from the 3rd base coach to slide into home to score a run.

I want to see a Phillies/Rangers matchup for the World Series. That would be a good game with two teams with a lot of heart. The Yankees can take their arrogance home and, well… I can tell them where to put it! And being a Padres fan, you know how I feel about the Giants. They proved how (not so) well they often play last night and the Phils just capitalized on those mistakes. I doubt San Diego would have looked much better against the Phillies, but the Giants never deserved to make it as far as they have.
