Pensacola Cra-Cra-Crazy Eights

Orlando, Tallahasse, Gainesville, and New Orleans joined Pensacola last weekend for 3 days of bicycle mayhem.

Friday night (8-8-08...get it?) was the race. It started at 10pm. I can't say much about the race, because "diarrea really had a hold on me." I have never had to pull over so much in my entire life. We showed up just as the race was ending at this weird frat boy pizza place downtown. I was so mad that an uncontrollable bodily function had cost my entire posse to miss the race.
WINNERS: 1st (mini Fortune), 2nd (little Butts) and 3rd (Woozy/Brooks/Chuck)

After the race, the whole crew headed to Sluggos (god bless it) to have a little post-race fun. We played foot-down. Now I don't know what was going on, but people were ripping around so fast, it was like foot down with turbo jets, which means you fall a lot harder. A man who looked like Rod Stewart on a tall bike won.

A group of guys from New Orleans had brought their sprint machines to have a tournament at Sluggos on Saturday night. The rollers were hooked up to a laptop that projected the two competitors progress with red and blue bars on a big screen behind them. So the crowd could go wild as they watched the bars shoot out from each other, while the sprinters couldn't see who was winning. The tournament lasted for about 3 hours. Which meant that a lot of people were a little "3 sheets" by the time they got called up to sprint. Willie from New Orleans won overall for sprints. And our very own Birdie Bird tried to whoop this greasy drunk shirtless man in overalls with one strap off.

Later on, Big Pete beat Sweaty Overalls (or should I say, "Famous Sal's")

Sunday was the most beautiful day in a long, long time. We played polo at the beach for about 5 hours. There were 6 teams. Round robin with a semi final and a final game. My team was named Dirty Sanchez, after the grease smudge I unknowingly wore on my mustache for a hot minute. The hockey rink was smooth as a baby's and Pensacola knows their polo. Team Board Shorts won the championship (real funny name guys, i hate boardshorts). This is a piece of evidence of AB taking out Tony:

The Crazy Eights weekend ended with a very rowdy show at Sluggos.
