TXIH 2008

As any good Kimchi I felt the need to saturate hashers with stupid catch phrases. The all time favorite "Fuck yeah!!!" was a crowd pleaser as usual, but "No Roger you tiger, now" seemed to be the favorite for the weekend. ESPN and Gaylord should be posting pictures shortly.

The Lakers Kick ASS!!!!

Kobe drops 52 and The Lakers beat Dallas 104-108 in overtime. Who's the best team in the League? Say it for me one time...The Los Angeles Lakers.

Prediction: Brownie will state something along the lines that I am delusional; however the facts are the facts and Denver is currently holding the 9th spot in the west. FYI only the top 8 get into the post season.

Side Bet: Brownie, I will bet one 40 oz of the Malt liquor of your choosing that the Denver Nuggets will not make the playoffs.

Fuck Yeah!!!

Well it looks like ESPN and I are going to try to plan a trip to Europe next year. I've only spent a little time in Germany so I'm pretty excited. ESPN and I were discussing the details yesterday when I came up with a goal for this particular trip should we actually take it. My goal is to learn how to say "Fuck Yeah" in every country we go to. I know it sounds goofy, but it will a good time fo shizzle!!!

Anything and Everything

If you haven’t seen NBN’s blog then you don’t know the Lakers made a huge move and picked up Pau Gasol an All Star caliber big man in exchange for Kwame “stone hands” Brown, Javaris Crittenton, and some draft picks. If everyone gets back healthy I think there’s a good chance the purple and gold could go all the way this season and they’re so young that they’ll be contending for a while. Derek Fisher is the only player on the roster over 30 even the newly acquired Gasol is only 27. It’s looking pretty naughty in Lakerland

On another note I finally got to ride my bike on Saturday (It had been 10 days) and had a nice ride until I almost rear ended some dude because he slammed on his brakes to turn with out signaling. I was coming down this road called FM 1488 going about 45. There was construction all over the place and the road was covered with gravel/dirt/mud. I had a good cushion between the guy ahead and I, but when he stopped I hit the brakes and my back tire locked up most likely because of the debris on the road. Then the back end of the bike swung to the left a little because I was in a slight turn. I straightened up and rode the brake until I stopped. It was a little scary, but it was good experience learning wise and something they taught us during the safety course I took. I had to pull off the road for a second and collect myself because that was my first experience like that being that I've only had the bike for a month and a half.

I have to say the Super bowl was a very good game and it's always nice to get hammered and hang out with friends and my crazy family. Even though I was rooting for the Patriots and a possible perfect season I am happy for Eli Manning. I bet it feels good to step out of big bro's shadow. Man, I know that was a great win and the Giants played a good game, but god damn they are beating a dead horse with this story on ESPN (not my wife the TV channel) they just keep saying the same thing over and over and over. The super bowl was great, but I'm sure there was other sports news. I will give a warning to all those drinkers out there that hooters wings are like crack after a long night of drinking, you eat one then keep coming back. I ate way too many wings last night and this morning I felt like a steaming pile of cow dung. Booze was the main cause, but my stomach told me the wings did not help things. Until next time Biatches!!!!

It's been a while....

It's been a while since ESPN and I have worked out on a regular basis and last night we started a new gym. It's more of a martial arts gym but the have all kinds off classes like Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Fight fit classes (circuit training). We did the circuit training class yesterday and my chubby ass almost could get out of bed because of how sore I was, but it's a great feeling now if it would only stop raining I could ride my bike and all would be right with the universe.
On another note BFE is less than 6 months away we should probably start planning soon and bombard Lip-Lock-Me with annoying emails!!! Until next time biatches!!!

And The Crowd Goes Silent!!!

In the midst of the Lakers longest winning streak in 4 years the Lakers 20 year old center Andrew Bynum goes down with a knee injury. Much of the Lakers recent success has been attributed to Bynum's elevated play. He's been a Monster in the middle averaging a double double (13.1 points, 10.2 rebounds). On Sunday versus the Memphis Grizzlies Bynum was going up for a rebound and landed on Lamar Odom's foot twisting his knee on the way down. Today, it was released that he will be out for at least 8 weeks. That leaves Kwame Brown in the middle and the Lakers without there second biggest threat. This could not have come at a worse time considering the Lakers have long road trip coming up and their next 3 games are against the top three teams in the west Phoenix, San Antonio, and Dallas. If they can keep some of the momentum they have and get through the next stretch they should be alright, but it's going to be tough. Bynum get well soon, please!!!!

Sport Betting

I heard something funny on the radio today about gambling on sports. I was listening to the Mike Tirico Show on Espn radio. A guy name Erik Kuselias was filling in for him and they were discussing why he suggested to a friend why they should pick West Virginia to beat Oklahoma. Apparently some of Erik's friends were wondering who they might pick because they hadn't heard any specifics on that particular game. Then he goes into this description about “the secretary rule”. Basically, if you are ever involved in a betting pool at work and you want to know who’s going to win break into the office of the person who is running the pool and look to see who all the secretaries picked then pick the opposite. He went on to say “If there were a pool about the West Virginia/Oklahoma game every secretary and their mother would have picked Oklahoma because it was too easy”. He told his friends to take West Virginia and obviously it worked out, but it’s still pretty funny.

Lakers....Master List...etc...

Just 4 weeks until we throw down at TEX MEX. What that means is it's time to start getting the Master List together. I will post something on the Tex Mex blog to get the List started.

I know it’s been a while since my last post, but better late than never. I was strictly instructed this morning by a large Columbian gentleman to "update my fucking blog already". Might I add this large Columbian gentleman is the gayest person I know and likes to smear feces on his face and dance naked in his garage.

Moving on the Lakers have turned out to be a pleasant surprise and if they continue to play this way they are a Shawn Marion away from being a true contender. With the new found confidence of youngsters like Jordan Farmar and Andrew Bynum they look like they might be able to make a little run this year. Even Sasha Vujacic has been a surprise this year, maybe that's because he actually started make the shots he’s taking, nevertheless I am impressed and I hope he keeps it up.

Today I am going to by my first motorcycle I am pretty excited. It's a nice custom bike made by Yamaha. Yesterday my co-workers decorated my office for my birthday. It was pretty damn funny and Nick would have especially gotten a kick out of the theme...

Brown table covers,Toilet paper, toilet paper seats, and then there's my window of poop and they even went so far as to rub brown candy on the toilet seats to look like poop. It was kind of disturbing, but damn funny.

Shit Or Get Off The Pot!!!!

As we all know it looks as if there is a good chance that one of the great players of my time will no longer wear a Lakers uniform. As die hard Lakers fan the emotional roller coaster that is the Lakers is becoming incessantly unnerving. I obviously don’t want Kobe to go, but if he is leaving I wish they could just get it done and get him out of here so the Lakers and Lakers fans can get on with their lives and continue to watch Jerry Buss and his family run the Lakers into the ground. If Kobe goes the only upside will be the possibility of a Lottery pick in some up and coming draft. There were so many possible changes the Lakers could have made to appease the situation, but instead the Lakers ownership did nothing. Kobe is by no means perfect, but he wants to win and obvious that is not a priority to the Lakers right now. Kobe was supposedly told by Mitch Kupchak and Jerry Buss that they were committed to building a team capable of a championship around him, but any fan can look at the roster right now and know that isn’t the case. Where’s Jerry West when you need him?

And the new musical theme of Tex Mex is...

I'd like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response (probably my fault because I never update my blog). It's safe to say that we have made some good choices this year that truly fit in with the past Kimchi themes of having great music mixed in with awesomely cheesy music. And the winners are....

AND

The Bee Gees

NBN and I will be sure to come up with some mind blowing compilations until then stay drunk!

Musical Theme for Tex Mex

In the past we have had such great artists as...

Hall and Oates:

David Bowie:

Foreigner:

Wham:

ACDC:

...and the list goes on; however now it is time to choose the new musical King or Queen of Tex Mex. No one has come close to topping the OG kings, Hall and Oates. Their music filled the halls of the Mesa Inn as the first ever Hall and Oates Hash was ran. Now, we need some new music to motivate us in our drunken ways and keep the crazy Tex Mex times rollin...Now who's with me?

Footbal is back!!!

Finally football is back and the Pac-10 had a great weekend only losing one game. I was happy to see my UCLA Bruins dominated Stanford, as they should have. Also the #1 USC Trojans beat the Idaho Vandals in a not so impressive fashion. I'm sure the Trojans are going o step it up when they play #20 Nebraska this weekend otherwise it's going to be a short bid at another National title.
I don't think I have ever been this excited about College football. Maybe it's because the 2 teams I root for have a chance to meet late in the season, undefeated, with some serious BCS implications or is it because my pro team may have an off year. Probably a little bit of both, but I still couldn't pass up the chance to see my team, the K.C. Chiefs, play Houston in the season opener. I was able to get my hands on some nose bleed tickets to the game this weekend and hopefully this will be one of the games the Chiefs win. This will be ESPN's first pro-football game so it should be a blast. Larry Johnson should have good game and I am looking forward to seeing Bowe (rookie wr out of LSU) play. Until next time...this blog has been updated biatch!!!

Rockies vs. Cubs

Here's the deal people my wife and I are going to be in Colorado the weekend of the 11th which is just around the corner. NBN, ESPN, and I are going to go see a baseball game at Coors Field on Sunday the 12th. If anyone else is interested come on down, the more the merrier. We are planning on making a day of it by going up there a while before the game so we can have some beers at Breckenridge Brewery which happens to be right across the street from the stadium

Fun in DC

This past weekend I happened to be in Washington D.C. on business. I worked all day Saturday and once I was done I decided to head back to my hotel and hang out. I was on the phone with NBN and he mentioned that DC was a great hashing town because there are so many groups there that there’s always something going on. By way of Late Night Drive Thru with the help of Assgagger I was able to link up with some DC hashers at Millie and Al’s bar which happened to be the last stop of a pub crawl that started at noon. Millie and Al’s was one of a bunch of bars on 18th street. It was a freakin mad house down there. I felt like I was in Mexico. 18th street is a huge strip of bright lights, bars, 24 hour food places and no god damn parking. I drove around for quite a while looking for parking and trying to call LNDT. While I was circling I probably saw 15 or 20 people get pulled over and 4 or 5 people get towed, all in all that area was pretty interesting. I almost parked in this lot off the strip, but it looked like a scene from the Sopranos. There was a well dressed man off to the side with his cronies doing all the work. I decided I would hold off plus they were charging 15 bucks and you couldn’t park there to late.
I finally got a hold of LNDT and she was able help out. LNDT pointed me to a public parking garage that I had only driven by 10 times or so. It’s one of those tricky places that you would never find unless you lived there or knew someone that lived there. It’s off the strip and down an alley and there are no signs I would have never discovered it in a million years. The whole parking structure was packed and it seemed as if all the parking spaces were smaller than normal spaces. I had an Impala for a rental so I was thinking to my self how great it would be to return a damaged rental care then GOD swooped down in the form of a 40 year old Indian (from India) man guided me to a handicapped parking space with plenty of room. I think it was a fitting parking space for me being that I am Donnie the Retard. I was assured that I wouldn’t get towed and I was off.
Millie and Al’s was a packed house and because there were hashers there they had my favorite drink in the world….FREE BEER. I mingled with the local hashers and everybody seemed to love my name. I think I got asked to sing my song a billion times and I had it sung to me a billion more times. There were even debates on whose version was correct….is it “8lb melon head” or “8lb watermelon head”….is the final line “Hi, my name is Donnie” or “Hi, my name is Donnie I like tater tots”. All in all it was quite amusing especially since everyone had been drinking for 7 or 8 hours. I was there for a little over an hour then I left with LNDT, Ass Spelunker, Hoover Damn (don’t know why she was there I thought she live in the Springs), and another guy whose name I can’t recall to go to a house party.
I think we got to the party to late because everyone was already trashed and I had just missed some flip cup. I tried to get some people to play, but no one felt up to it so I hung out and drank some beers. I met this one hasher I can’t remember her name, but she was mean and sarcastic so we got along swimmingly. She was one of those people who would talk shit about people even though they we right there it’s like she thought they couldn’t hear her. I thought it was funny. She was also obsessed with some pasta salad that she had made. It was in one of those gigantic Tupperware bowls. She was a pretty small girl but she had that big ass bowl in her lap and she was going to town. I guess she was having a “Lay off I’m starving” moment. She actually said and I quote, “this pasta salad is so good I want to go lie on that blanket and have someone pour it all over me.” No joke I was cracking up.
I also meet this guy named Tony who looked just like Steve Carell (the guy from The Office and Anchorman). He sounded just like him and he was pretty damn funny too. Tony had this weird tradition when he came over to this particular house; he had to cook Bacon Grilled cheese. Don’t ask me why. I hung out and drank a couple more beers with him while he cooked a butt load of bacon and made sandwiches. Later I had a couple Bacon Grilled cheese, sobered up and drove back to the hotel. It was a low key hash evening, but I had had a great time. Thanks for the idea NBN, Assgagger thanks for getting me the right phone numbers and LNDT thanks for leading me around. This mothafuckin blog has been updated BITCHES!!!

Yellow Jackets vs. Energy Drinks

VS.

When attending a hash weekend every hasher at one time or another has come to a point where they are running ragged and need a little pick me up. We've all been there and a while back my pick me up of choice was the Yellow jacket which could be purchased at almost any convenience store or gas station. Those bad boys would do the trick, but coming down off of them was no joke. You feel like you just drank a bunch of caffeine, smoked some crack, and did a couple lines (not that I know what doing any drugs like that is like) then you crash and burn. That coupled with being hung over can be a very painful experience.

Exibit A: A couple years back Espn, NBN, and I went to the Virginia Interhash. It was your standard hash weekend with camping and lots of beer as you can imagine. Well day two came around and NBN, Espn, and I were sucking all motivation had left our bodies. Then we told ourselves No!!! We will not let or hangovers conquer us so we busted out the Yellow jackets. We each took two, which in hind sight was pretty retard considering we already knew the after affects of booze and those crack pills. All I can say is by 10 pm Espn was dressed like a pimp, I had a red wig and strapless dress on and NBN was dressed in blow up ballerina outfit (he looked like he was pushing about 400, it was hot). Regardless the evening continued and we played every drinking game known to man, participated in a talent show, watched some topless boxing, saw a Hasher named Buck-a-fufalo try to hump numerous people while butt naked(normal behavior for him), and ended by a camp fire, bullshitting, and passing liquor around. All in all it was great night that would not have been possible with out the help of Yellow Jackets. Espn and I retired around 4am and NBN crawled into the tent about 6am, but we had to be up 830am because NBN had a flight to catch and that is when the wrath of the Yellow Jacket finally took its toll. I wasn't feeling great but I could see my partners in crime were hurting pretty bad.

We packed up and were set to hit the road when ESPN looked up me with that special look and blew chunks at my feet. That was our queue to get going. Now the first 10 mile of this trip took forever because of multiple puke stops for Espn, then NBN started feeling left so he began contributing. The second stop the car hadn't even come to a complete stop when ESPN began puking out the window. Seconds later NBN threw himself half way out the window and started yelling for his buddy Ralph. For the next couple mile they alternated yakking then we were off and moving. That was the last time we took Yellow Jackets and drank heavily. Lesson learned. Now it's time to move on to greener pastures.

This is where energy drinks I have used energy drinks many times to keep me going and I have never had symptoms like when we used Yellow jackets. Now I am not saying you don't feel it the next morning, but the after affects are nowhere near as fierce. This is why I believe energy drinks will be helpful for this coming BFE. NBN won't take anymore 4 hour naps, ESPN won't need some "alone" time which is code for a nap, and I won't get tired. So people, for right now energy drinks are a go for BFE. What does everyone else think? Which is better?

Official BFE Newsletter # 2

There has been a disturbing lack of enthusiasm with the planning of BFE. Lets get motivated people because this is going to be the best BFE yet.

1. First who all is coming so we split up the Master List and make sure we have enough sick little monkeys coming to participate in the Brat toss, Beer Pong, and Flippy Cup. If you are thinking of not coming you are wrong, you know you are. I have heard all the lame excuses I can take such as: “I can't come because I'm too Jewish", "I can't come because I'm pregnant", "I can't come because I am gay and I live in Philadelphia", "I can't come because I have to go to NTC, hey have you seen my turkey baster and a jar of Vaseline laying around". Blah Blah Blah

2. I know NBN is taking care of reserving the KEG...I am guessing we are going to stick with tradition and go Mexican with some tasty and delectable Dos Equis. The question is should we go Amber or Special Lager?

or

3. Are we going to make another attempt at playing human beer pong. If we don't do the least we could is use it to bring the balloon launcher to have a little fun. Oh dear lord we could use the launcher for the Brat toss that way no one is safe...muhhahahaha!

4. What's our musical theme going to be obviously Hall and Oates will be incorporated, but we need something good this year? Any Idea's?

5. If you really truly care about BFE then send any and all donations to the "Brownie's a flaming Homo-sexual fund". You can find donation drop offs at your local Air Force recruiter.
POOP

"I think I'm walking on air...So much in love I can't tell what I'm saying...There'll be no running away...You and I won't be apart again...I know in my heart that we can start again...Wait for the summer...When love's in the air...You won't be sorry...You answered my prayer"

Leaving on a Jet Plane!!!

The hour is near and soon I will be off to Colorado to freeze my ass off and drink some beer with my hetero-lifmate, his awesome wife, and all you crazy kimchi assholes...wooohoooo!!!!!!!! Then tomorrow comes the Platte Road challenge, 12 bars 2.48 miles, I'm gonna put my heart into it and god willing I will finish alongside my kimchi brethren. C-4 I sent you my itinerary but just in case you check this first my plane comes in at 7:44pm I am not checking bags so I should be off the plane pretty quick. I can't wait to make C4 and NBN's basement bedroom smell like a giant fart after a long night of drinking. Until 7:44 pm I bid you all ado.

Good vs.Evil Part 2

I am happy to say that the UCLA Bruins have not disappointed with their second consecutive run to NCAA Final Four. They look ahead to the very team that nearly destroyed them last year in the title game. Evil is lurking and the Sith is on the rise...there is a great disturbance in the NCAA force and only Obi-wan Howland and his band of Bruins have a chance at thwarting Darth Maul Donovan and his evil Gators. This is a battle for the ages and shall go down in NCAA lore. As long as the Bruins use the force in their favor, unlike they did last year, they should have a chance at beating the Gators who hale from the SEC (Sith Evil-warlord Conference). Bruins may your defense be swift and your 3-pointers fall like rain. GO BRUINS!....to be continued
