How to be Sexy, a.k.a. Why Denver Needs a Snowplow
I was told today, by one of my female readers (I think she must be one of two) that she enjoys reading HandlebarSandwich.com because it has a certain ‘nerd’ aspect to it.
She also mentioned that being nerdy is kinda sexy.
That comment just affirmed one thing in my mind: the apocalypse is coming. Black will soon be white, up will soon be down.
See jonny, you don’t need porn, just an engineering degree. I’m f-ing sexy.
The trip to denver this weekend was pretty much awesome. Raney, Lauren and I rolled in at around 1:30am friday night, and were greeted by Ben with tall boys of Coors light. Needless to say, that set the tone of the weekend, chilling and drinking.
We decided on saturday night to catch a cab to the Flogging Molly concert, mostly out of necessity to have a sober driver, which none of us were at the time. Because there was a bit of snow, we called 1.5 hours in advance for it. After waiting for 2 hours, we ended up calling some limo service and taking a town car there, because it was obvious that being ‘first on the list’ for the last half hour had no effect on us getting a cab.
The roads were still totally snowed in, so we proceeded to be driven there at 15 MPH. It blows my mind that the ‘mile high city’ somehow overlooked the need for a snowplow. I must have seen 20 cars in ditches (at least 5 of them upside down) and not a single plow truck.
A pickup truck, a plow blade, and a set of chains would have done wonders in that place.
Either way, we made it to the concert, and although Flogging Molly had started already, I pounded 2 guinnesses (guinessi?) and threw myself into the pit. It was a good hour and a half of awesome drunken irish music and sweaty individuals running violently into each other. I only wish it would have lasted longer.
I was a big disappointed when I was leaving denver on sunday, because they had a beautiful amount of snow on the ground, and I was thoroughly enjoying winter. However, I was happy to see that winter was also in full force in flag when I got back. We have well over a foot of snow here in town, and it’s been snowing for 4 days straight up on the mountain (I’ve heard numbers in the several feet range mentioned).
J-money and I are taking off early from work tomorrow and skinning up snowbowl on the tele skis. Should be killer.
Finally, I saw a video over at team bacon strip that convinced me of the one and only company that anyone should be looking for sponsorship from. I’ve decided to make a solid attempt to pick up sponsorship from Brawndo as soon as humanly possible.
Why? Because it has electrolytes.

Yo, if there is anything I can do (make up a race resume or actually have sex with a semi in a parking lot) to get in on that sponsorship, let me know for I too have never seen plants grow out of a toilet…

oh yeah! this is now my favorite post, the one about commuting to work a little while back now at a distant second. but being nerdy has always been sexy… minus screech from saved by the bell but SBTB isn’t actually a valid source of reality.

Saved by the bell isn’t a reality show? Screech was actually just an actor?!? My world is falling apart. . .
Luckily, I’ll just drink some Brawndo and win at exercise, and then I should be fine.
