Controversy At World Championship

WSOBP 3, originally uploaded by EDubya.

Of beer pong! Will sport in America ever recover? This could damage the American psyche more than the Black Sox Scandal of 1929.

In a very Vegas moment this Sunday afternoon at the Flamingo, somebody made an unfortunate misrepresentation. Two somebodies, actually. As the competition filtered down to the final teams from a starting crop of 414, a pair from Baltimore, Md. made an “unfortunate misrepresentation” when reporting the results from their previous game: They said they won.

It was most likely unintentional. Authorities believe alcohol was a factor. Certainly no Baltimoron(said with pride) would lie for personal gain. In order to maintain the integrity of the game Tournament authorities.....

However, tempers ran more hotly when the discrepancy was first discovered. Gaines and his co-founder, Duncan Carroll, addressed the pong players Sunday, announcing that the team had been banned for life from competitive beer pong and the WSOBP, and the players were escorted out of the ballroom by security guards.

This could be a turning point for the game can the pro league survive?

Good Idea

Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we can identify their corporate sponsors.

Funny!

TPM's Eric Kleefeld on Sarah Palin's groupies in GA. Some of whom came as far away as New Mexico to see her.

It's like the Grateful Dead, only more spaced out.

Oh The Humanity!

The classic WKRP Thanksgiving turkey drop. The incompetent Sarah Palin, pardoned a turkey and then gave an interview while they slaughtered turkeys in the background. Her answers were as incomprehensible as ever.

Beer Investment

This is old but with the stock market tanking...

If you had purchased $1000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5 left.
f you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49 left.

If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund you would have $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

War or Car?

What could we do with the money we are spending in the sands of Iraq? Buy every house hold a Prius. Cover Vermont and New Hampshire in gold. Or my favorite buy the Irish enough beer to last a millennium.

Could be fun to watch.

No Dog

No Chef! If they take dog off the menu I'm not going. The young light colored ones taste best. Mmm!

BEIJING (Reuters) - Beijing has asked hotels and restaurants in the city to take dog meat off the menu for the duration of next month's Olympics and September's Paralympics.

Dog is eaten not only by the large Korean community in China's capital but is also popular in Yunnan and Guizhou restaurants.

A directive from the Beijing Food Safety Office issued last month ordered Olympic contractor hotels not to provide any dishes made with dog meat and said any canine material used in traditional medicated diets must be clearly labeled.

At the present moment Mattel, the maker of Hot Wheels and Matchbox toy cars, is worth $6.2 billion, putting it at a premium to GM, worth a mere $5.7 billion.
