Summer's Guilty Pleasure
The Tour de France.
I actually enjoy this test of endurance. There is absolutely no way that I could ever ride a bike for six hours a day for 22 out of 24 days. I am glad to see that there is hope that yet another american (Levi Leipheimer) could win the tour. It also is nice that Levi is from Butte Montana (a little place where I just happened to grow up). I will write more about the tour later but I have one glaring observation after the first four stages: The pace has been far below average in the last two stages. Stage 3 finished an hour behind the worst expected finishing time, and Stage 4 was also slower than expected. There are a two reasons that I can think of for this happening: 1) Everyone is reporting that the riders are resting up for the the early than usual run into the Alps 2) The riders are drug free this year and it is truly taking an effect on their performance over the long stretches on the road. I think that the first is a lot more likely, but with all of the scrutiny on the drug use that has surrounded cycling lately, I think that it needs to be mentioned as a possibility.
The coming days in the mountains will show for sure if the drug free tour can keep pace with the "juiced up" tours of the last decade. I for one hope that I am wrong, but you never know.

Beer of the Week
Week of July 9 2007 --- Beer of the week
Bud Light
I know you are thinking that I have now double dipped in the well of your run of the mill domestic beers two weeks in a row, you must feel that I have no imagination. Though I am fully prepared to defend this pick based on the copious amounts of this beer that will be consumed at the bachelor party that I will be attending this weekend. I see no reason to anger the beer gods by putting some fancy dancy micro brew or import on the throne of beer of the week and then go out and spend the majority of the weekend tossing back Bud Lights with reckless abandon.
In honor of Paul's last days as a free man, I here by proclaim Bud Light as beer of the week.

Axe Handle Basketball Homerun Derby
Having a 4th of July picnic?
Looking for something to enhance your beer drinking, burger eating fun?
Have I got just the game for you.
AXE HANDLE BASKETBALL HOMERUN DERBY*!!
This game is very simple, takes minimal supplies (you probably already have them), is loads of fun, and hurts like the dickens.
Supplies:
1.) Axe Handle
2.) Basketball
3.) Fence (optional)
Ground Rules:
Pick an appropriate distance from your fence (or other homerun boundary) for the batter to stand.
Everyone else positions themselves near the fence to shag balls.
The batter throws the ball to up and tries to hit the piss out of it. For a first time batter this is generally followed by a quick drop of the axe handle and shake of the hands and possibly a comment such as "shit that hurts".
After you get a taste for the recoil that your wrists will be experiencing the game gets much easier and the ball will start to fly out of the yard.
Every batter gets 10 outs per round. Anything that is not a homerun is an out.
Like in any home run derby, the player with the most number of homeruns wins.
*Inventing credit of this game goes to my father and his friends. Keep in mind this game was most likely developed while under the influence and should be played in the same state.
