Patriots and Alcoholics: Ironman 2008

Its amazing to think that when the Founding Fathers of this country signed the Declaration of Independence it would end up being a permission slip to dress like a stripper, get plastered and hook up with as much strange as you could on the beach. Seriously, we should be proud that 232 years later we can be as loud, crazy, obnoxious and confident in our celebratory antiques as we are as individuals and as American’s. Like many of my neighbors and fellow countrymen, I show my gratitude, my appreciation, and my love for this country by competing in a mile run, paddle and six-pack chugging contest known as the Hermosa Ironman. God Bless America… and projectile vomiting.
