My Fellow Inebriates,
There has to be a better way to watch the Olympics than just…watching it. Thank goodness for drinking games like this one.
No vodka for Russian athletes? Say it ain’t so…
Get this: The entire Russian delegation—not just Olympic athletes but coaches, assistants…the entire Russian Olympic Committee—is banned from drinking alcohol throughout the event.
OMG, why? How could the Russian government be so draconian?
Revelers back home in Russia. That must be a cousin of mine.
According to Ilia Djous, spokesman for Deputy PM Dmitri Kozak, “Olympic values are not compatible with alcohol.” Which may well be true—according to statistics, 500,000 Russians die annually because of alcohol abuse, which isn’t very morale-boosting.
More to the point—Russian athletes, renowned for alcohol-fueled revels at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, got their asses handed to them that year, skulking home with only 14 of an expected 50 medals.
Crime and punishment! Thanks to athletes’ poor 2010 performance, there will be no booze, even for competitors whose sporting events are safely concluded. Even medal-winning athletes will have to wait till they get home for a celebratory toast.
As for vodka producers…well, we will have to bolster them by drinking more vodka.
The Fluffy files—exorcism after exercise (Olympic exercise)
My Fellow Inebriates,
I almost forgot to mention I received a reply from the exorcism people. So nice, too, so helpful. I really didn’t expect it.
If you weren’t around that day (I’ve no idea what day it was), here’s my initial query:
They were really prompt!
I felt really bad that I’d missed the message and did my best to explain why.
So the Fluffy situation is progressing, peeps. But we might have to wait until the Olympics are over.
Take that, Fluffy!
