Things You Don't See Every Day

Front bumper of a fire truck















Nothing out of the ordinary if you are in Columbus, but if you look at the door of the truck and notice where it is from.





















This truck's home is none other than State College, PA home of Penn State.

The truck was manufactured in Columbus, good to see they have a little fun on the job at Sutphen Corporation.

The Best Time of the Year

0 Days --- The Tribe is in the playoff hunt with a 3.5 game lead over the Motor City Kitties

1 Day --- D-I college football kicks off (Tulsa vs. Louisiana-Monroe ESPN2 7:00 PM, but more importantly LSU vs. Miss St. ESPN 8:00 PM)

3 Days --- The OSU home opener (Noon on the #$@$^&% Big Ten Network) If you don't have direct TV find a bar or head down to the Big Screen on Lane Ave.

11 Days --- The Browns (with a starting QB to be named later, then changed one week after that, then probably changed again during the next game, only to be changed to start the third quarter after 3 INTs) start their quest to give the Cowboys nothing better than a top 10 pick next year.

Bar Golf Date Change

We are going to move the Bar Golf Extravaganza to October 6. The original 4 pm start time on September 15 severely clashed with the OSU-UW game that kicks off at 3:30. The OSU game on the 6th, at Purdue, does not kick of until 8 pm giving us ample time to make it near the end of the course by kickoff and we should be able to all find someplace to lay down, try not to pass out, and watch most of the game.

I hope this did not affect too many of the four people who were planning on attending.

Beer of the Week

What else can you say about PBR other than, a true beer drinkers beer.

Tribe Wins

Nice to see that the Tribe may actually want to win the division. The offense showed up on a night that the pitching was sub par. I would like to Wedge switch the order around a little. I think 3-4-5 of Sizemore-Martinez-Pronk is just about right. It would be nice to see Franklin Gutierrez get a chance in the 2 hole instead of Casey Blake every once in a while.

Bar Golf Front Nine

Hypothetical Question #3

You are marooned on a desert island with no hope of rescue. This island will have all the food you could ever need, ample shelter and the most peculiar thing you have ever saw: a magical cave that contains an unlimited supply of beer. Upon entering this cave you are given the choice as to what kind of beer you will have unlimited access to for your time on the island. What beer do you choose?

Bar Golf: Rules and Regulations

Bar golf consists of drinking 18 drinks at 18 different bars (holes) in the same day (round). It would be nice if you can find 18 bars that are all within walking distance of each other (easier said than done unless you are near a college campus). Each bar will be assigned a particular par and based on that par you will have your choice of drink: Par 3 (Fruity Drink or Light Beer) Par 4 (Beer or Light Beer for the Ladies) Par 5 (shot of 100 proof or higher liquor). A typical golf course is a par 72 with 4 par threes, 4 par fives, and 10 par fours. You can feel free to set up your course in any fashion that you would like.

To prevent anyone from getting over their head in this competition, here is a list of things that will get you disqualified and hence cut off:

1.) Puking

2.) Passing out

3.) Being unable to transport yourself the next bar without assistance.

The Bar Golf Champion may or may not get a green jacket at the end of the night (this is dependent on me finding a green jacket between now and then) Odds of there being a green jacket: 1in 7.

These rules will probably be added to/changed 15 times between now and the date of the extravaganza so feel free to add your own input.


Course layout and approved drink list to be revealed later this week.

Beer of the Week

Week of August 20 2007 --- Beer of the week

Boddingtons

The memory I will always associate with Boddingtons is the time we found out it had a widget in it and we frantically tried to cut open the can so we could figure out how it worked. Yes we are nerds.

Anyhow, since I spent Saturday night drinking Boddingtons at a martini bar, Boddingtons will have to be the beer of the week.

Columbus OH Bar Golf

Holy three posts in one day.....

All I can say is if you are the one of the two readers of this blog you should keep your calendar clear for the Bar Golf extravaganza on September 15. More details to come later.

Beer of the Week

Week of August 13 2007 --- Beer of the week

White Hawk IPA

















This is great India Pale Ale brewed by Mendocino Brewing Company.
Mind you it is 7% alcohol so it hits you a little harder than you would expect.
Also, if you do not like bitter beer you should steer clear of this one for it is quite hopsy.

NUGE!

Hypothetical Question #2

You have been offered front row center tickets to every game your favorite team plays for the rest of your life, the only stipulation is that your team will never finish better than 2nd place ever again. Would you be able to take these tickets and cheer on your team knowing that at best their season will end as first runner up?

Beer of the Week

Week of August 6 2007 --- Beer of the week

Blue Moon














Being that it seems like a good week to go sit at the Dube and spend a day drinking Black and Blues, Blue Moon will be named beer of the week.

Hypothetical Question #1

You find yourself in a situation where you have been sentenced to death. How you got there is beyond me, I imagine you pissed off one of three people: the Pope, Zeus, or Dick Cheney. However dire your situation looks you have been given a chance to win you life back. You must win 2 out of 3 games of your choice against a completely random person to win your freedom. You have a 1 in 5 chance of competing against a Chinese citizen (1 in 6 billion that it could be Yao Ming), you could be competing against a world class athlete or a professional couch potato.

So, with your life on the line what 3 sports (games) do you think you can win 2 of 3 against a random person?

Me?

Golf, Basketball, and Table Tennis.

The words of Gilbert

This is a fantastic statement on territorial rights.

"I know this is random, but I just want to clear this up for people out there.

There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack.

I know you're making a weird face as you're reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as.

We're humans. We live on land.

Sharks live in water.

So if you're swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that's called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.

A shark attack is if you're chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that's a shark attack. Now, if you're chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack.

When I see on the news where it's like, "There have been 10 shark attacks," I'm like, "Hey, for real?! They're just running around? Sharks are walking now, huh! We live on the land, we don't live underwater."
