Batanga

Happy Hour Drinking Topics:
1. Did you know that US athletes get taxed for winning medals in the Olympics? Up to 9,000 for winning gold. This is crazy right? Check out what the BBC has to say about this.

2. What has been said about Usain Bolt that hasn’t already been said about Anne Hathaway? I don’t know either but that’s one f*ckin cool ass black cat.

3. Congratulations to women’s soccer winning gold. It’s always good to see our US soccer teams come through. Does this mean Hope Solo will finally quiet her critics? Nah.

3.5 From the people I’ve spoken to who have read “50 Shades of Grey” the reviews have been very very mixed. Can someone enlighten me and tell me what they like about it? Also, Bret Easton Ellis doesn’t want Matt Bomer as the lead but who is the gayest actor that could pull off the part of Christian Grey?

4. If you’ve seen the Serena Crip Walk, was it really that big a deal? I mean what if she couldn’t dance? Wouldn’t that be more of a story? “Former Black Chick from the Hood Can’t Get Down on the Two and Fo”, news at 11.

5. In other news, Snoop Dogg is now Snoop Lion.

6. Carl Pettersson atop the leaderboard in the PGA, followed by Gary Woodland and Rory McIlroy. Who do you like to win on Sunday?

7. Comedian Norm MacDonald at the Orleans Showroom Friday, Aug.10th in Las Vegas. #MarchVegas

7.5 Tim McGraw & Faith Hill to join the Strip’s country superstar lineup. Tickets now on sale, shows Nov. 16-17 at the Venetian. #MarchVegas

MARCHVEGAS - Rum-tiki

Happy Hour Drinking Topics:
1. What do you think it feels like to be 16 and just having won a gold medal? That has to be awesome.

2. DJ Jazzy Jeff at Rain nightclub Friday 3rd, at 11pm in #LasVegas; should be cool. Just trying to spread the love Jazzy Jeff. Just trying to spread the love. #MarchVegas

3. One of the four food groups is now center stage of our politics causing a major major controversy. Free speech, Christian values, family values, sexuality, religion, the liberal agenda and race (race is not really in there, it just sounded good) could shape the upcoming elections. All this from the delicious treat we call chicken.

3.5 Eminem now has 60 Million Facebook Fans. With the right chicken message, this guy could sway the presidential election with his own two hands.

4. Is it 19 or 20 Olympic medals total so far? Regardless, it just doesn’t get any better than Michael Phelps.

5. The Olympics usually has a controversy or two but this time around there seems to be an inordinate amount. I even read that Americans are being thwarted in multiple ways from purchasing tickets? Mitt was right, maybe the Brits aren’t ready?

Martini Royale

Happy Hour Drinking Topics:
1. In the Ancient #Olympics Greeks were the only race allowed in competition; today the whole world is invited. That’s what makes the Olympics so great. #MarchVegas

2. If anyone knows the skills sets required to pull off those opening ceremonies, please give me a shout on FaceBook.  Note: If you’re British that will include a beer as well.

3. I’m not sure I’ve seen so many gaffes from a presidential candidate like we’re seeing from Mitt. He’s been in London for only 48 hours and he’s already offended the home country; good grief.

3.5 If betting on the Olympics keeps you in the game, check this out from the odds makers: http://www.oddschecker.com/olympics-2012.html

4. When not viewing the Games tonite, check out Kelis at Tryst, 10pm in Vegas.

The half-s7lvin™ Cocktail Minute – MINT JULEP

By

MINT JULEP
Ingredients – Mint sprigs, crushed ice, tidbit of sugar syrup and bourbon whiskey of your choosing. Pack the ice in and you can’t go wrong.

MARCHVEGAS - Mint Julep

Happy Hour Drinking Topics:
1. Willie Nelson at the Sunset Station Hotel Casino in Vegas Saturday, July 21st. I bet he drinks bourbon, but maybe without those mint sprigs.
2. Bill Cosby at the Treasure Island Theatre, July 20th.
3. If you haven’t seen the new CougarLife campaign in LA, check that out for a minute. Kelly and I agree, that does make great conversation fodder.
3.5 Why are all advertisers using the phrase “Not so much” in every frickin ad spot these days? What is that?
4. Snedeker -10 after 36 holes at the British Open. Tiger 5 back, Phil missed the cut.
5. My guess is that the word(s) “Retroactively Retired” gets into the dictionary in 5 years, no doubt.
6. What is the answer to gun control in America?
7. And if they’re not saying not so much then it’s the song “How You Like Me Now” by The Heavy for every other product. OK, the song is awesome so advertisers get a pass.
