Spicy mango chicken sausages! Yum!
The last two nights I’ve decided to try something new. I brought home some chicken sausages with mango and jalapeno in them so that I could have special hot dogs. Needless to say they turned out rather well. I just ate the last 2, they were nom.
It hit the spot after another long night of work.
Dragged By Your Underpants Through Cahors Tram!
Welcome back to the continuing coverage of the Tour de Underpants! It’s been an epic journey as I have dragged you all through France by your underpants and it’s been epic! Thank you for continuing to tune into meh goofiness tram!
The riders are scheduled to ride from Blagnac to Brive-la-Gaillarde here on Stage 18.
Since the Tour goes right through the town of Cahors, the Wine of the Day is Cahors! Cahors is mostly Malbec, also known in France as Cot, Cot Noir, or Auxerrois. Up to 30% of Cohors is Merlot and Tannat. Cahors wines are full-bodied and tannic, but can be difficult to find in the stores in the States. Domaine du Theron is great when available! Nomnomnom!
Today’s coverage beings along the River Lott with a breakaway of 16 riders. Cool roadside display with computers, bicycle parts, etc. around the small town of Frayssinet.
Memorial for de la Resistance! Long live the Resistance!
The cyclists today realize that they are running out of time to claim victory, so they are giving their all today! Go Everyone Go!
They are travelling through Pont-de-Rhodes, an epic ancient roadside town. Yes, I would like to visit the ancient bar right now! Bongo, please tardis meh over! Yays!!!! LOL!
One of the riders looks really happy to be Touring! Yays! Lookin’ good, buddy!
Oh, that area looks perfect for a picnic like some peeps have!
Wow, that church is unusual, it appears to have a couple of large round planetarium bubbles coming out of the roof. I wonder if they have considered having a Laser Floyd showing there?
We still have a lead group of 16 riders, ahead by about two and half minutes.
Oh mys, several members of the peloton missed getting on the inside of a median on a curve, putting them behind by the time the curve was cleared, around Payrac. The riders are flying through this countryside since they know the Tour is coming to a close as they chase glory!
Lol! The TV played the music for a commercial break, then they continued to broadcast the peloton snaking along.
OK, they have it sorted out now. Some spectators are up on manlift and waving some flags and have a sign for Voekler. Looks like fun!! Wheeees!
The peloton is catching up a bit as the riders really are going for it today!
Some spectators’ feet were hit with a discarded water bottle. Ooops!
The riders are absolutely flying along on a freeway towards another ancient town, Lanzac.
Oooohs, epic château up on a very tall cliff with amazing views of the valley below!!! Cool clock tower too!
Awwwws, the goslings are watching the Tour as they swim along! So cute!
The crowds have increased here towards the top of the Cote de Souillac. Awesome mega-viaduct here with some shrubs and weeds growing on it now – LOL!
They are really flying along down this straightaway outside of the Cote de Souillac.
Wow, epic château along the river! I wonder if it’s some sort of bed-and-breakfast or something with so many tables with pristine-white table cloths and pretty chairs? Oiu, I would like Champagne and lunch! Merci! nomnomnomnom!
Awesome brick town with a great Abbey here!
Cote de Lissac-sur-Couze is coming up, a Category 4 hill. They are speeding along a long straightaway here. Go Everyone Go!
The gap between the leaders and the peloton is about 45 seconds with 14 miles to go as they haul ass uphill.
Oh noes, someone’s huge black dog wandered out onto the course, sending several riders tumbling onto the pavement. Then one of the riders that fell gave the dog owner a stern tongue lashing – LOL! The rider’s arm was bleeding quite a bit so one of the team doctors treated the rider as they were both cruising down the road – LOL!
Awwwss, cute French donkeys with Tour-themed capes, outside of Masdelpeuch! They even stopped and posed for the helicopter camera! Yays!
Oh mys, some ladies are riding the entire Tour de France on Cannondale cycles! Looks totally fun! I would probably end up taking too many pictures and eating and drinking and talking to people too much to get anywhere – LOL!
Yays! Someone mowed a message into their lawn!
A huge crowd in Lissac as the riders are going all out and hauling ass up some narrow, steep roads with sharp corners through this beautiful ancient town. The leaders are just 19 seconds ahead with just six miles to go!
Oh noes, it’s starting to rain! It could be slick on the roundabouts in the last three and a half miles. Cool Tour de France diaramia in one traffic circle!
More rain as the cyclists are digging deep as the peloton is catching up with the leaders! Who will win today? 2.9 miles left as they through Brive! Everyone for themselves now tram!
Electrified train lines here as the riders pull out all the stops. They are grimacing uphill! Wiggo is hauling ass here! Ohs, it’s Edvald Boasson Hagen! And Mark Cavandish suddenly pops out from behind a pack of riders and sprints ahead of them all for the win!!! Amazing!!! What an exciting day of racing!
Beautiful medieval town here! Yays!
Mark Cavandish is our Bulge of the Day Winner! He is up to the viewer’s right today tram!!!!! Wheeees!!!!
Peter Sagan won the Green Jersey for sprinting. He’s smiling on the podium so he must be getting the hang of it!
Thomas Voeckler kept the Polka Dot Jersey, and TeeJay Van Garderen won the White Jersey for the Young Rider! Nicely done!
Join me tomorrow for the individual time trails! It should be epic! Wheees!
Pyrenees Nude Hill Climbing with the Blue Angels and Bordeaux!
Welcome back to Stage 17 of the Tour de Underpants! Today’s epic mountain journey begins in Bagneres de Lunchon and winds around the Pyrenees Mountains to finish uphill at Peyragudes! Wheees!!!!
Before we get started with our coverage, Frank Schleck claims that he was poisoned and that he never took the diuretic that he tested positive for! Wow! It does seem possible after someone threw dozens of nails on the course the other day! Oh mys!
And because today’s stage is one of the more difficult ones on the Tour, the Wine of the Day needs to be something big and hearty, a full-bodied red that will help the riders kick some major butt through the hills! And for that, we have a 2009 Chateau Haut-Beausejour, Saint Estephe, from Bordeaux, about $50 in Washington State. Lush, concentrated flavors of berry and cherry on the nose, with rich layers of berry, cassis, vanilla, cedar, and more throughout. Strong finish without being over the top!
Also excellent for a big day on the Tour at a much more affordable price is the Lafite Rothschild Special Reserve Red Bordeaux in any vintage you can find. Full-bodied, rich, with layers of mature blackberry, cedar, vanilla, with a nice acidity and tannic finish without being overbearing or overdrying. This is an amazing wine for the price and tastes much more expensive than it is! Easily holds it own against a $50 bottle of wine!
Both of these selections are excellent with fi’s boeuf bourgignon, as shown below. Nomnomnomnom!
Our Tour coverage for the day begins with Thomas Voekler in the lead near the top of the hill climb at Col de Menté. Fredrick Kessiekoff fights hard but is not able to surpass Voekler. Voekler looks relieved with that hill climb victory! Then he stuffs a wind barrier under his jersey to help him stay warm on the descent with the very low clouds here.
Oh noes, it is extremely cloudy here in the Pyrenees National Park and the visibility is super-low, making conditions very dangerous, cold, and slick as moisture settles on the road. That is odd, there is abundant sun above the cloud layer! LOL!
The peloton has spread out on the descent at 67 miles to go as the clouds have lifted as they pass a few homes in Couledoux.
Seven riders broke away for the lead as they continue on through the national park. Looks like a great area to camp with the tall trees and epic mountain views, outside of Sengouagnet!
Suddenly, Voekler came from behind and jutted ahead with a sprint! Wow! Kessiekoff was not expecting that, nor was anyone else! Voekler wants it badly today!!!!! And he wins! Nicely done! That puts him ahead of that group as well.
The peloton is about a minute and half behind the lead group, with more of the same as they continue on over the top of Col des Ares.
Oh noes! Mark Cavendish crashed with Ritchie Porte around the food station at the small town of Aveux! They crashed while passing the food bag. Ritchie is still standing there as the peloton moved on, but everyone seems to be OK.
Ohhh, epic old castle ruins here as the riders head on towards the last hill climb at Port de Balès. Awwws, nice sign by some spectators! Have a nice day to you toos!
The road is getting steeper as the peloton stretches down the hill and some riders struggle uphill. They are heading back into the clouds here.
The leaders are crossing a narrow, single lane road here, high above the cloudy, narrow valley below. Aaaannnnnddd, Voekler keeps his polka dot jersey with his win of this hill climb! Yay!
Riders need to slow down to maneuver through the rapid, sharp turns down the mountain. They fly by some very old farms in the valley and some cool old homes.
Oh noes! One of the riders was going wayyyy to fast and he missed the corner! He ended up turning the wrong way and turning back around to go the correct way – LOL!
Now the leaders are starting their hill climb towards the finish, with just ten miles to go!
Cool ancient town at Caseaux-de-Larboust!
Allejander Valverdo is in the lead as Voekler runs out of gas and falls back. One of the riders is bleeding on his handlebars as he rides down the road! A newspaper was stuck in his spokes and he cut himself trying to extract it. Ouchies!
Garin is a cool town with lots of spectators toos as the riders continue to pump uphill. Oh noes, Kloden got a flat tire with just a few miles left!
Lots of caravans here as the cyclists kick up the intensity here and Valverdo keeps his lead with the peloton two and half minutes behind.
The Blue Angels are flying over my house now as the riders head toward the finish!
Cadel “Cuddle” Evans is struggling to keep up with chase group with about five miles to go. Go Cadel Go!
They continue on uphill with increasing vigor. Now it’s really steep here and the crowd is leaning in to cheer them on! Oh good, barriers are keeping the crowd off the course here! Yays! A couple of guys almost got ran over further back!
Oh check out the nude guy and Egoi Martinez’s reaction to the nude guy!!!!! LOL! Classic Moments on the Tour de Underpants for sures!!! Yays!!!! LOL!!!
They are really huffing and puffing as they pedal uphill for all they are worth! I can smell the jet fuel from here! Oh wait, that’s the Blue Angels!!!
LOL! There is a guy with an Edvard Munich mask on and running along with the peloton!
Zoom Zoom Zoom on around past the very old ski resort at Peyregudes! And Valverder keeps his lead and goes for the win! Up and around the corner and over the finish line! Nice cheer and nicely done! Wheeees!
Wow, epic views from the Peyregudes Ski Area! Amazing! Valverder is really happy to have won!
Teejay Van Gardener received a Yeti with his flowers and White Jersey.
And Bradley Wiggins wins the Bulge of the Day Award as he keeps his Yellow Jersey! He was off-center to the viewer’s right! Nice junk, Wiggo! Yays!!!!
These guys are fond of Wiggo also! LOL!
Ok, that’s a wrap on today’s invigorating stage! Thank you for continuing to follow the Tour via the Drunken Gaming Corner! Wheeees!
Not sure if advertising or being an asshat.
Had a busy day of work. Nothing terrible until the end. There has been this old guy that’s been coming in, I’ve only talked to him a few times. Ever since he asked me what I would be doing for my summer vacation (which would be working) he seems to enjoy boasting about how he’s glad he doesn’t have to work unless he wants to. Then he tells me it was all because he didn’t party and worked for the military (not sure why he threw in the partying part). So far he’s had this conversation with me about two or three times. The result is me usually listening to him about how awesome his retirement life is and about how he has more money than he could ever want.
This is all fine and good don’t get me wrong. But why does he have to tell me over and over again (even in the same conversation) that he’s well off? Is he trying to impress me? Seriously, it was almost time for me to leave tonight, and he kept spouting the same lines over and over again for about ten minutes. How he’s thankful that he has a great life and doesn’t have to worry about anything, he can work only if he wants to, then kept wondering why people don’t join and serve their country and thought maybe it was either people being afraid or just not wanting to be patriotic… The way he was wording himself made it seem like he was trying to get some kind of reaction. But I do well keeping a poker face, after all I’m well known for saying anything with a straight face.
I have family and friends who are either serving or have already served. I thank them for their sacrifice and strife. They fight so that we can be free. I may not be in any army branch. Does that make me a cowardly lazy ass? Apparently if you’re that guy…
Then I imagined myself telling a homeless person who lost everything how I’m thankful that I have a roof over my head with food… How well would that go over?
Bork with Jack Daniels in the Pyronnes Mountains!!!!
Welcome bork to the Drunken Gaming Corner’s Coverage of the Tour de Underpants! Yes indeed, I will continue spamming the blog up with my Tour de Underpants coverage! Yays!
Stage 16 promises to be an epic day of racing after a day of rest, as the riders travel from Paul to the scenic Bagna Res-de-Luchon through the Pyrenees Mountains near Spain.
While we were away on break, it turns out that Frank Schleck tested positive on his drug test, so he is out of the Tour for the year. Borkers!
The lead group has about 38 riders in the breakaway at the Col du Tourmale in the Pyrenees National Park, ahead by 2.5 minutes. A beautiful and sunny day in France, about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The coverage picks up towards the top of the first hill climb.
Fredrik Kessiakoff is in lead overall for the polka dot jersey. Oh, Thomas Voelker was able to come up from behind and get the points from Kessiakoff on the mountaintop! Nicely done!
Now the leaders are flying down the hill as they descend 4,500 to the valley down below. Due to the steep descent, this is a very dangerous part of the course. Don’t crash, dear riders!
A guy in an all-blue body suit is running along with the riders. Is that you, Yutram?!?!?!?! LOL!!!!
Oh mys, the announcer said that the motorhomes started parking on the top of the hill climb like four days ago to get the primo spots!!! Yikers!
Now they are pedaling through some ancients towns and past some ancient barns. Oh noes, they had a crash on the corner!!!! Yauheni Hutarovich may not be able to continue on since he appears to be in pain!
The peloton is over seven minutes ahead with a group of 16 leaders there in La Mongie (Bagneres-de-Bigorre). There must be a big bag here somewhere- LOL!
They have started the second hill climb here, and the crowd has gone wild here! One guy was dressed up in a sombrero, another guy dressed up in men’s swimsuit thing with a G-string up his crotch and we was running along with the peloton – LOL! This area looks like the Party Zone, perhaps a bit towards Gripp (Campan). So party on meh hearties and let your freak fly here! Get out your craziest costume! Cheer your lungs out for your favorite riders!!! Run and wave your freak flag at the helicopters!!!! “If you got Jack in your cup, go raise it up!”
The Wine of the Day is Jack Daniels because people here really know to how to get wild and have a great time!!!! Yays!!!!! Party Hearty!!!!
Nice tarp sign by the farmers of the area, with the plastic mouth that appeared to open and close.
They have worked their way up the second summit now with the peloton behind by over ten minutes! Voekler and Brice Feillu battled it out with Voekler winning the hill climb.
On the downhill side, I wonder if that spectator was taking a leak down the side of the mountain, or if he was just enjoying the epic view – LOL!
Everyone made it down the mountain safely and the leaders have started the next uphill segment, the Col de Peyresourde. Voekler is really grimacing here as he gives a full effort uphill! Excellent drive, Voekler!
Oh noes, the spectators keep crowding on the course and making it difficult for Voekler and the other riders to get by. I wish the race organizers would send a couple of motorcycles ahead to clear a path for the riders! Voekler is waving his arms to the spectators to please clear the way! Borkers!
And basically it was Voekler all the way to the finish! Awesome racing today! And he received the ‘Fighting Spirit’ award for his efforts! Yay!
Many of the riders were obviously quite tired by the time they crossed the finish line.
Voekler was having fun on the podium today – Yays! Wiggo retains his Yellow Jersey. Wow, the winners spent like five and a half hours riding through the Pyrenees Mountains!! Amazing!!!
Voekler also has the polka dot shirt and he seemed so happy and proud to have taken over the lead from Kessikov. Voekler also won the Prix de Combative! He totally cleaned up today! Awesomely done!!!! Yays!
Voekler is left-handed! Wheeeees!
Thank you for once again following the Tour de Underpants! We only have four more stages left, so get ready for the finale in Paris – Yays!!!!
Another reason why I’m not a fan of facebook.
Not that it would affect me in this particular situation.
Washington Facebook Voter Registration
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Facebook users in Washington state will have something else to brag about to their online friends: that they registered to vote on Facebook.
The secretary of state’s office said Tuesday it will have an application on its Facebook page that allows residents to register to vote and then “like” the application and recommend it to their friends. It’s expected to launch as early as next week.
I read about this and thought it was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Do any of these morons realize facebook keeps tabs on everything? Oh wait… We’re too fucking lazy to care.
I’m sorry. I’m not the kind of person that likes it when places like facebook or myspace keep tabs on everything that I do. Yes I understand that people use it also to find jobs or keep in touch with family. It’s just stupid that places like facebook use that sort of thing to exploit people into giving them their own personal information so that they may sell it for a profit. If anyone registers to vote via facebook they get whatever they deserve.
I’ll keep my blog and email thank you.
Source Games On Linux? Yes please!
Valve has put yet another blog together. This time for linux.
Last year, a team was put together to get Steam and Valve games to work in Linux. So far they have done a good job getting Left 4 Dead 2 to work natively with U’buntu.
“We’ll be posting more information about those projects (and others) on a regular basis. Since this is a new effort for the team, we’d love to hear your opinions about the blog so shoot us an email. We also encourage you to leave comments and ideas for future postings. We want this to be a community of game developers, communicating with each other and talking about current efforts and future efforts in a powerfully creative environment.”
For more information check out their official blog! Because I can’t be arsed to quote the entire thing.
