Brass Monkey H3 #1


What: BMH3 #1
When: Feb. 6th 2010 2pm
Where: TBD
Why: Because you like drinking with a little running mixed in too!!!
Bring:$5, shag bag, $$ for haberdashery (Brass Monkey H3 shirts available $12, Patches $3), thirst for beer of course, sleeping bag or something to sleep on if you are crashing



This is all the info we have so far, but I do know there is a contingency of out of towners coming in to support this awesome event on Thursday. So, in actuality the party really starts Thursday with the forecast showing Karaoke and a visit to H4 Thirsty Thursday. Friday will most likely have other Drunken activities taking place I'm sure. Then Saturday will be upon us and the dream that is the BMH3 will be realized. The on after will be at my and ESPN's house with a side venue located directly across the street (Spork's house, yes that is my brother and yes we live across the street from each other). There should be plenty of crash space between the houses and if you can't find a couch or a bed (other than my own) grab some floor. A sleeping bag would probably be a good idea, but regardless everyone is welcome. Plenty more info to cum.

Lakers vs. Heat

Last night while I was watching the Lakers vs. Heat and Stu Lance, one of my favorite announcers, was making a comment about the Lakers young center Andrew Bynum. As Bynum was setting a pick Stu called him "The Great Wall of Bynum"...it's not nearly as funny now as it was live, but Bynum proceeded to have his best game of the season. The kid definitely has talent but as of late his defense has been suspect. That worries me a bit because that what he's in there for; blocking shots and rebounding scoring is just a bonus. Regardless the Lakers won so that's all that matters. Tomorrow they play the Rockets and I will be there live rollin deep with a Lakers contingency. Why can't it be Thursday already for the love of all that is good and holy, damn you Tex Mex!!!!

Friday, January 02, 2009

Happy New Year!

This may be one of the funniest pictures of my drinking career!!!
Read the name tag...that's right my sister got me a shirt that says hello my name is ninja. But I think the Do-rag and the Manischewitz really complete the look.

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.

Monday, March 03, 2008

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.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

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!!!

Monday, February 04, 2008

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!!!!

Tuesday, January 29, 2008

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?
