St. Patrick’s Day 2009 part 2

So yesterday was St. Patrick’s day a wonderful day and the best excuse to get drunk out of your mind. Like I said in my earlier post some coworkers and I went to Joxer Daly’s Pub in Culver City. The place was awesome they converted their parking lot into an extension of the pub. They had a huge tent covering the parking lot and put an out doors bar and some tables it was great tons of people showed up and some great bands performed, I included a video of one of the bands that performed. When getting there we started the night with a round of Irish Car Bombs and a few pints of Guinness. The food looked really good but unfortuanately I did not get to tray some but it looked so good that I’m definitely going to go back for dinner sometime. I have to say that the Leprechaun that was walking around taking pictures with people was really cool and a great touch to the pub’s St. Patrick’s celebration. I have tons of fun hanging out with coworkers and drinking I’ve included some pictures along with this post so check them out.

Did every one’s celebration turn out as planned? I hope everyone had a fun time. I know that the cops are real jerks on days like that and they see it as a day when they can catch a lot of drunk drivers I hope your night did not end by getting a DUI or any run in with the cops for that matter.

St. Patrick’s Day 2009

Green Beer

Hello everyone happy St. Patrick’s Day. So unfortunately for me I had to work today so I wont start my celebratory drinking until after 5pm I know it’s terrible. A coworker told me about a Irish Pub that isn’t to far from my work so he and I will be heading over there shortly. We’re going to Joxer Daly’s in Culver City, my coworker tells me that they are turning their parking lot into a Beer Garden now that sounds like a fun time. I also read on another web site that this Pub like to get Leprechauns to blend in with the crowd. This sounds like a crazy internet hoax but I shall find out this afternoon. I will update this post with my findings and with some stories about the night.

I’m curious to know what all of you are up to for this 2009 St. Patrick’s Day. What Pub/Bars are you going to? are you having a get together at your place? what is your drink of choice on this day?

I could tell you one thing I could already taste the Irish Car Bomb and ill probably follow that up with a Half and Half. Safe drinking and have tons of fun.

15 ways to save money when drinking

Found this on www.thedrunkinpirate.com they have great ways to save some cash and still drink the night away.

1. Find a bar and become a regular.

It is a known fact that a regular’s dollar goes further than your dollar. This doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with the bouncer or bartender. Just make sure they recognize your face—and for the right reasons. Tip well, be patient and don’t be fancy with your ordering. If you’re patient, you’ll eventually be rewarded with free and/or stronger drinks. But don’t expect this treatment every time, and don’t forget to tip even when the drinks are free.

2. Tip as you go.

I know a lot of people say to leave a big tip on your first drink so as to ensure proper treatment throughout the night, but this is a gamble. At busier bars, sometimes the bartenders switch off and you’ll be stuck with someone who has no clue you left a $50 early on in the night. So tip as you go to avoid losing out big in the beginning.

3. Buy two drinks at a time and tip as if you only ordered one.

You should always tip—but if you’re trying to save cash, sometimes combining the order can save you a couple bucks. Sure, you probably look cheap as hell, but at least you’re playing by the rules.

4. Don’t buy from shot girls or any female for that matter.

No matter how broke you are you’ll end up tipping more than you should because you are weak. Trust me.

5. Don’t buy people shots, buy pitchers of beer.

Not only is it cheaper up front, but you still end up with a bunch of people feeling like they owe you something. In the best case scenario, offer to buy the first pitcher without making a big deal about it—and make sure you pour everyone a beer. As long as you plan on hanging out with those same people (and they aren’t assholes), you’ll be drinking free the rest of the night.

Beer for a Bad Economy

Miller High Life Bottle Cap

With the tough economic situation its hard to spend a lot of money on luxuries such as Beer. So I would like to know if anyone else has changed to  a less expensive beer maybe not switched over completely from your favorite beer but is buying it less. I love to drink Guinness and Harp but these beers are about 16 bucks and some change at my local Ralphs. It’s great when they are on sale for club members but this isn’t the case all the time. So recently after doing all the shopping that I need to do as far as my food if there is money left over I pick up some Miller High Life’s.  I know what your thinking that it is really cheap beer but after drinking Tecate’s for a long time I switch over to another less expensive alternative. Don’t get me wrong I still buy my wonderful tasting Ale’s and if I am at a bar I do spoil myself but when i just want so beer to have after work I go for the cheaper alternative.

So i’d like to know what are you drinking in this time of a bad economy? Have you cut the beer buggdet and if so how much?

Steel Pole – Bud Light Commercial

This is funny, I have a pole in the living room of my house and when girls walk in there usual reaction is, “Oh my god what is that”, as if its such a mystery. But not this hot girl in this Bud Light commercial. I love how right away she starts spinning around on the pole makes me very proud that there are girls out there like that. Unfortunately what results for her is a little different watch and enjoy this funny Bud Light commercial.

Miller High Life 1 second Super Bowl Commercial

Just in case you missed the High Life 1 second commercial here it is. I was looking for it on every commercial brake but still did not catch it. so enjoy it I though it was kind of clever. I like the whole idea that they don’t need to spend a shit load of money to get the point across.

So did anyone else miss the commercial I’m sure i wasn’t the only one? It might have been when i got up for more beer.

Heineken – Walk in Fridge

This is cool I have always wanted to have a walk in Fridge although mine will have a variation of beers. I love how the excitement of the men is much greater then the girls. Who needs walls of shoes when you could have walls of beer.

The Guinness Bet

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his throat to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.” The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan‘s offer.

One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.

The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement.

The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin‘, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?

The Irishman replies, “Oh... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.

How to Play Asshole

asshole

Players:

4 – 10

Objective:

Get rid of all your cards first.

Aces are high, threes are low. Two’s are wild.

The dealer deals out all the cards. (Multiple decks may be necessary.) The person left of the dealer goes first, and lays down any card or set of cards of the same value. (Eg. three 4’s or a single 3 perhaps.) The person to their left must lay down cards of greater value, and the same number of cards. (Eg. If three 8’s were laid down, three 9’s or greater must be laid down. Four 9’s would not be allowed, it has to be 3.) If they cannot lay down any cards, they pass to the next person. (You may also choose to pass.) Anyone who passes must drink.

2’s are wild, and will beat any card played, including an Ace. Once a two is played the cards are cleared and the person playing the 2 has control. One 2 also beats a pair of anything, two 2’s will beat three of anything, three 2’s beats 4 of anything, etc…

The circle continues until no one can play any more cards. The last person to lay down cards has “control” and starts the next round by laying down new cards. Play continues until everyone is out of cards.

After the first round has been played, the first person out is the President. The second person out is the Vice-President, and the last two people out are the Vice-Asshole and Asshole for the second-last and last person respectively.

Once ranks are established and after all the cards have been redealt, the Asshole must give the President his 2 best cards, and the President gives the Asshole his 2 worst cards. The Vice-President and Vice-Asshole also switch worst and best cards, but only 1 each. Play begins again with the person left of the dealer.

At the end of each round, the Asshole must clear the cards and gather them into a pile. If anyone else touches the pile of cards during play, they automatically switch ranks with the Asshole. If the same person remains Asshole for 3 whole rounds, they become subject to the whims of other players and must drink when told. However, the President can make the Asshole drink at any time once the Asshole has been designated. As a matter of fact, the Asshole has to do pretty much anything the President tells them to. i.e. Wear a fish net on their head, get the President another beer, make out with their sister, etc.

Third Man

Dice

Players:

3 – No limit

The Rules

Everyone takes turns rolling one die until someone rolls a three. This person then becomes the three man. The game then proceeds around the circle with people taking turns rolling two dice.

Meaning of Rolls

3: Whoever is the three man must drink. If the three man rolls this then he may pass the title to a person of his choosing.
7: Person to the right of “roller” drinks
9: Person across from “roller” drinks
10: Social…everyone drinks
11: Person to the left of “roller” drinks

Other dice combinations:

4 and 1: Whoever rolls this become the Thumb-Master. They can place their thumb on the table whenever they want. Everyone else must put their thumbs on the table as soon as this happens – the last person to notice and do it must drink. The Thumb-Master can only change when someone else rolls a 4 and 1.

Doubles: When someone rolls double they give the dice to someone of their choosing. This person rolls the dice and if they don’t roll doubles, they suffer a penalty. The doubles penalty should be determined at the start of the game. Some suggested penalties are taking off an article of clothing or drinking for a number of seconds equal to the value of the dice.
