Congrats Michael. What kind of training is involved for a competition like this?

OP representin’ up in here! Yet, I offer some more accomplishments for your consideration (in order of importance):

Chuggin’ down brewski at 11:01 AM on a Thursday in a bar that faces a giant shit hole (KCMO) is the JOCO Kansas way of retaliating against Missouri’s Sheryl Crow drinking beer at noon on Tuesday in a bar facing a giant car wash.

Like cats, the JOCO Kansan followed the rules to add 20 pounds in 67 days by drinking 3 beers a day. The Missourian, like a dog, would drink all the beer in the first day and then be starving by the 67th day. Of course this is hypothetical because we know that Missourians cannot afford to drink at the Power and Light District.

Krueger proves his legal analytical skills in spades by working up a pre-driving drunk in the City where cops spend all their time talking in groups around yellow tape encased crime scenes instead of on patrol. Plus, his blood alcohol level would likely be worked off before it was time to head back to the more sunflowery state.

See JOCO Kansans can do everything Missourians can do only, better, fatter, with more money, and better planned.

Thanks Fanny! I come from good German stock, so I learned to like beer from a young age. Training included high school (when it was legal to drink cereal malt beverages at 18 in Kansas), college, grad school, and law school. All of those venues provided substantial opportunities for training. To be fair, the beer I disliked most was Ft. Collins Pomegranate Wheat. That beer was terrible. And, I do like quite a few of the Boulevard beers, I am just not a porter fan. Beers I would recommend: Arcadia Hopmouth IPA, Bells Two Hearted Ale, Belhaven Wee Heavy, Brasserie de Rocs Triple Imperiale, EKU 28, Lindeman's Framboise, Maredsous 8, McEwan's Scotch Ale, Pauwel Kwak, Schneider Aventinus, Spaten Optimator, and Spaten Franziskaner Hefe-Weizen. Now, off to lose that weight!

Maybe now I can start working on getting my name in the top 10. Michael and those other guys broke my spirit during the first week of non-competition. I will forever hold it against my daughter for being born the week prior to the opening of the Saucer.

Congrats Michael! I just hit my 50 and can't wait to be sitting up on the wall next to you soon :)
