Wow…what a LIST.  Some of these are really funny and others are just depressing.  Kentucky has the best one in my book.

Well I’ve been on the wagon since Monday and it’s gone pretty well.  I’ve woken up a bit more refreshed in the morning and been able to fall asleep faster.  I expect that’s more from swearing off the green than from not drinking.  But so far, it’s been interesting.

On Wednesday night, it was my better half and I’s anniversary…we’ve been together a whole year which for me is charting new territory.  So we went out for sushi at the site of our first date and then popped over to our favorite local watering hole, Novare Res. as my better half wanted a good beer after the tartness of her plum sake.  I was subjected to about an hour of good old fashioned heckling which I withstood stoically.  But I kept my cool and was able to resist the temptation of good beer and ignore my new nickname “Detoxic-Avenger.”  So now onto this weekend…wish me luck!

As a complete change of subject, check out this silly little game I found.

I’m a frequent visitor of ESPN.com and by frequent, I mean at least 10 times a day.  This may seem excessive to many of you and it probably is for the average American but I’m a sports nut.  Football, baseball, basketball, tennis, track & field, soccer, hockey, you name it, I enjoy it.  So imagine my surprise to find a new sport to become enthralled with all over again.  Beer Pong!

Are you kidding? I was an avid Beruit player in college which is beer pong for the slightly more intellectual college students at preppy east coast schools.  For those of you who never have had the pleasure and joy of participating in this centuries old college initiation rite or for those of you (like me) who want to expand their knowledge of this legendary sport, here’s the wikipedia page.  To sum up, you shoot little ping pong balls into big plastic cups eight feet away and if you sink them, the other team needs to drink the beer and vice versa.  It’s really an elaborate and convuluted path to drinking copious amounts of beer/alcohol.

Now that I’ve found out that someone is sponsering a tournment and paying the winners $50,000 means that I missed my calling in life.  I love beer, I love sports, and I love competition…dammit, why did I get into the nursery buisness? You might not see me post for a while as I’m going to be working on my game…where did I put those 12 oz dumbells?

Finally proof of the WMDs we were looking for! At least our president is quick on his feet and didn’t get knocked out by a pair of loafers.

I ask our loyal readers…has America reached the lower levels of hell in regards to our standing in the international community?

Those of you familiar with FOX’s hit ‘Family Guy’ will know where the title is coming from.  During my normal perusing of the internet, I stumbled upon this well written, in depth article on ‘Family Guy’ mastermind Seth MacFarlane.

I had done some reading on MacFarland before, however, this article delves into his interests, obsessions and impressive accomplishments.

As you’ll read in this article, he’s partnered with Google to create ‘Seth MacFarland’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy’.  These animated shorts have the same look and feel as ‘Family Guy’, but are no longer under the thumb of the FCC.
