zoobrothertom 5 #8 March 29, 2008 Yep, I see what you mean. After about 5 beers myself, I started leaning to the left and it sure does look like a pint of the good stuff! ____________________________________ I'm back in the USA!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #9 March 29, 2008 Ding ding ding! We have a winner. Parachuting Piss Artist awarded by the Irish National Team at the St. Patricks Day Boogie at Palatka in 1983. The colors mimic the Irish flag, glass of guiness, DC 3 in the background. Didn't get to Ireland to earn it. Drinking a beer standing on your head is interesting. I'm old for my age.

(This is the most obscure thing I could thing of to try to compete with Howard) It's from the Irish Parachute Club. It's a pint of Guinness. I can't remember what exactly it's awarded for, but I suspect I got it once Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeenan 14 #11 April 7, 2008 Quote Parachuting Piss Artist awarded by the Irish National Team at the St. Patricks Day Boogie at Palatka in 1983. I, too, hold the coveted PPA award. That was a memorable boogie. I remember some folks getting sick following the green beer. Not a pretty sight.And, yes, drinking the beer while standing on your head is a strange experience, green or not... Kevin K._____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome...
