It seems that there is going to be a Kid Rock-branded beer hitting the market in the spring. Sounds good to me. While I wouldn't want to live like the K-to-the-I-to-the-D, there is a debauched, drunken lunatic inside of me, somewhere deep down inside, a guy that I generally keep good and monkey-stomped, who looks up to the Kid as a hero. I didn't say that side of me was a smart or good guy, just that he's in there, yearning to take his shirt off, funnel 6 beers, and run around the neighborhood hollering and waiting for the cops, and a film crew from Cops, filmed with the cooperation of the Men and Women of Law Enforcement, to show up and put on the zip tie cuffs.

One thing about Kid Rock that is worth taking seriously is his ability to get inkstains all over starched shirts. One of the food bloggers at Amazon.com has this to say about the K.I.D.:
Kid Rock's beer will undoubtedly harken back to our watered-down roots. Afterall, the guy lives on cigarettes, Budweiser, and stripper sweat. Does anyone really think he'd put his name on something tasteful?He "lives on cigarettes, Budweiser, and stripper sweat. . ." That blogger says that like it's a bad thing. I sure hope it tastes decent - the new beer, not the smokes, Bud and stripper sweat. If it doesn't taste good, I'll have to reserve it for spraying on Elite riders at cross races if it sucks. That said, I wonder if anybody has told the guys at Dogfish Head about this - seems to me that the K.I.D. would be a perfect match for a beer cold-filtered and fresh-hopped through Randall the Ceramic Animal...
Take it away, Hoovis...

Funny Like Cancer
I have, of all the inglorious things, a malignant hemorrhoid. What color bracelet does one wear for that? And where does one wear it? And what slogan is apropos? Perhaps that slogan can be sewn in needlepoint around the ruffle on a cover for my embarrassing little doughnut buttocks pillow.P.J. O'Rourke, funny guy / libertarian author / gonzo journalist, has butt cancer. Apparently, it's one of the funniest things that's ever happened to him. I've never seen anybody deal with it quite that way. I wish him well.

We've Got Big Balls...
Big surveillance balls for observing the surface of Mars. As it turns out, we're not going to land little tiny rocketships on Mars to check out the surface. We're going to drop tons and tons of balls packed with surveillance equipement to map the surface, basically cosmically teabagging the entire planet. Y'know, for science. Naturally, the surveillance mission will use "rovers" to supplement the inflatable balls, which will bounce all over the Martian landscape. There's no indication that NASA will use a rover to fetch the balls, but I suspect that is planned. It begs the question about which kind of reconaissance device is more effective - does a rover lick balls? It's too soon to tell. Man, these balls are going to be big.
A quick rundown of One-Item-at-a-Time discount sites for you:
Whiskey Militia - discount ski, boarding and outdoor stuff
Steep and Cheap - all sorts of outdoor active gear
Tramdock - Ski stuff
Chainlove - bike stuff
GearTrade - not a single item site, buy, sell, or trade used outdoor gear
Backcountry.com - not a single item site, but kind of like a discount REI, or an upscale CampMor
Odds & Ends
- A horrible end in every sense of the term. But for the grace of God, there go I.
- Is it cheating to root for a team you don't like, to beat a team that you hate the everloving crap out of? I don't think so. In a perfect world, you'd like both teams to lose, but in lieu of that, the enemy of my enemy is my friend... this week anyhow.
- Lindsey has a nice writeup of her race at Ed Sanders. She podiumed. Yay!
- Elden can't handle being Girled. I guess he'd better avoid racing the local B races against Georgia Gould, huh? Or for that matter a lot of chicks in MABRA. Hey, if you can ride faster than me, you can ride faster than me. Doesn't matter what your plumbing looks like, you got my respect. At least until the next time we ride, then it's on.

Kid Rock is Livin the Dream Man!
John - you are not kidding. He lives *large.*
PJ O'rourke is and always has been great, even back at his days at National Lampoon. CATO has a few podcasts posted from him too.
Its just like him to bust on himself for getting hemorrhoid cancer, too...
