I dont post much here, acutally I've never posted I believe. But I do browse the topics almost every day. The information and tips I've received from this site are awesome. Just thought I'd say thanks to you all, and share a photo of myself at my finest hour.

Apparently my lack of posting is quite evident. I have no idea how to make that picture show up, anyone care to offer any tips??

Damnation!

Why cant my cheesy free website show a stupid picture? If I right click where it says "user posted image" I can then click on view image and it shows up fine, but for some reason it wont show the picture in the forum post.

Maybe I'll put the picture on a new cheesy free website and try again. Any suggestions?

I use Photobucket.com

works really well for me

Nice pic - LOL. Please tell me you were in the US/Canada!

I had to right click too. Oh well, as long as it works.

The picture was taken where I live, in San Francisco. It was at the start of Bay to Breakers, which is basically a slow moving mob of 100,000 drunk folks that make their way across the city. Its a great time if anyone will be in the area mid May. You start drinking around 9:00 am and dont stop until the night is over.

Anyways, here's my second attempt to get the photo to show up properly.

Hey Friar - welcome to Tpunk.

The B2B rules! Except for the hideous naked people who shouldn't be naked.
What part of the city do you live in?

**beergal** · 02-22-2005, 04:25 AM

this seems like my event....

**kingcrazylegs** · 02-22-2005, 08:52 AM

Welcome to Tpunk dude!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to be here. I came across that shirt on a mexico trip a few years back and I couldnt resist. Its got a banana taxing an apple on the front, how could I not buy it? Whats even funnier is I think both the fruit are supposed to be males. I cracked up for like 2 days when someone pointed that out to me.

Yes there were tons of naked folks in the race, and the vast majority of them should not have been naked. I saw about 200 ugly naked old men, and maybe 20 hot naked chicks. Although a few of the chicks posed for pictures with me and my dual 40 hemlet, and asked for sips from my drinking straws, so I guess that makes it all worth it in the end. The hat not only delivers two 40's, it gives you some game with the ladies.

The 40's in my hands were done around 10:30 am, the two on the helmet took a bit longer, I finished them around 2pm.......I think. For those connoisseurs of malt liquor I drank 2 steel reserves, 1 olde english, and a MGD. The aftermath wasn't too pretty to say the least.

I live in the outskirts of the city, the outer sunset district. Its not the hippest part of town, actually there's nothing but homes for a couple miles in all directions. But I like the beach, and its only about a 5 minute walk from where I live. I also like my easy parking and cheap rent.

Any of you bay area folks?

**omisan** · 02-22-2005, 10:29 AM

Nice work, Friar! I drank myself into a stupor last year - and just as misery was falling upon me and the munchies were hitting me hard, there was the guy frying up bacon near the Panhandle who came and saved my day. (Yes, folks, this is a footrace not only peppered with naked people, but strangers frying bacon on the side of the road!)

I live on Alamo Square, just on the other side of the park from the naaasty Hayes Street Hill in the middle of the race... So I can always veer a block off the course of the B2B and get more beer at home if I need to.
