Queen - the Band, Scotland & Scottish friends, Cabo Wabo

Hola Amigos de My Bad Tequila,

Our 100th Blog.

Q is for Queen, the English rock band that formed in London in 1970 with vocalist Freddie Mercury, bassist John Deacon, drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May.  Audiences loved Queen because of their hit singles, live performances, showmanship and originality, they were voted the greatest British band of all time in a national BBC poll.  I love Queen, but the Beatles are numero uno with My Bad Tequila.  Queen's 1985 "Live Aid" performance was voted the best live rock performance of all time in an industry poll.  Queen has sold more that 300 million albums as of this year, 2009.

Freddie Mercury prepared a statement on November 23, 1991 on his deathbed, confirming that he had AIDS.  On November 24, 1991 Freddie left this world, RIP.  He died of bronchial pneumonia, which was brought on by AIDS. There latest song at that time "The Show Must Go On," was said to be recorded in one try, a testament to Freddie Mercury putting it all into his final song.  Now stadiums across the United States and I would imagine, across the globe blare "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" at sporting events.

While we're on the subject of Queen, let's sidestep to Queen Elizabeth II, which will include Michelle Obama's totally inappropriate touch of the Queen of England.  "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."  Michelle Obama has a responsibility as first lady to know and follow protocol of the individual countries that she visits.  The Queen was gracious and did not make a big fuss of it; however, Mrs. Obama needs to do her homework.  An excuse of "I didn't know," just doesn't cut the mustard.

Now heading north of England, I'd like to recognize Scotland and My Bad Tequila's newest Amigos, Steve and Alex (Alexandria) of Edinburgh, Scotland.  A little geography, Edinburgh is located in the south-east of Scotland, along the Firth of Forth, near the North Sea.  It has a spectacular, rugged setting with a vast collection of Georgian and Medieval architecture, it is considered one of the most picturesque cities in Europe.  It is the second largest city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom.  In the 2009 YouGov poll, Edinburgh was voted the "most desirable city in which to live in the UK."  WoW, I learn something new each and every day.

Steve and Alex are here visiting the Southwest and our great states of Arizona and Utah.  Today, I had the pleasure of accompanying them to Sedona, Arizona where we saw and marveled at the Red Rocks of Sedona, Schnebly Trail and Cathedral Rock.  Steve had his camera shutter going all day as he took over 350 photographs; Alex clicked her camera for over 100 pictures for lots of momentos.  Steve, if you have an extra photo, please send My Bad Tequila one of your incredible shots.  Great time was had by all.

My Scottish Amigos did ask for a recommendation on Tequila, since there are so many tasty and premier Tequilas, I'll recommend a few for you to choose from: Aha Toro Tequila, Don Julio 1942, Sol de Mexico, Don Julio Reposado, Patron and last but not least Cabo Wabo - made famous by The Red Rocker "Sammy Hagar" and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  Take back any of these Tequilas to share with your family and friends and you will be on the receiving end of affection and complements.  Steve and Alex, hope to do a Shot or have a Margarita with you in the future, perhaps while enjoying the British Open in Scotland.

Speaking of golf, Mr. Tiger Woods and his wife Elin are still not talking to the Florida police about Tiger's injuries due to "the car accident."  Tiger is not going to play in his own tournament as the greens are hard to read with dark sunglasses.  Looks as if the police chief is obtaining a search warrant for medical records to see if consistent with a bad golf swing or a residential fender bender.  After this incident, Tiger may need a "Tin Cup."

Tee shirts, Tshirts, T-shirts are available with the world famous, International Womens' Fishing Team "Fish n Chicks" at http://shop.mybadtequila.com

Phil Mickelson, Aha Toro Tequila, Tiger Woods - Accident or Elin - The Husband Beater?

11/29/2009

0 Comments

 
Bienvendios Amigos de MY BAD TEQUILA,

Phil Mickelson is our esteemed guest today, former Arizona State University Golfer and 3 time Major PGA Championship winner.  Once labeled as the "greatest golfer without a major golf championship"  Phil has quieted the naysayers.  Mr. Phil Mickelson has been my favorite golfer since watching him play as a collegiate athlete (yes, Golfers are athletes) for the ASU Sundevils.  He replaced Greg Norman on my list as soon as he became a professional, although Phil did win his first PGA Tour Tournament as an amateur winning the Northern Telecom Open in 1991.  Mr. Phil Mickelson won three NCAA individual championships and three Haskins Awards, in 1990, 1991, 1992.  Also known as "Lefty" for his left handed swing, even though he does everything else right handed.

Phil is fun to watch, he is the only player other than perhaps Tiger Woods who can be back 8 - 10 shots and end up winning a golf tournament.  Phil has also had his collapses, by continuing his aggressive golf ball striking and not playing it safe, has cost him a few Championships; but, that is why I love Phil, "What will Phil do next?"  This last year has been tough on Phil personally as his famous wife - Amy, once a Phoenix Suns Cheerleader was diagnosed with Breast Cancer as was Phil's mother.  I Thank Goodness, they are both doing much better and let's hope and pray it stays that way for the Mickelson Family.  I have been fortunate to have watched Phil play several times as an amateur and as a professional as he is always present at the FBR Open (formerly Phoenix Open) at Scottsdale TPC, labeled "the Greatest Show on Grass."  This year will be the 75th anniversary where the "loudest hole in Golf" is located - 16th hole - Par 3, and afterwards the wild Scottsdale night life at the Bird's Nest where the hottest women on earth dress to the tee hoping to snag a professional golfer who doesn't make the cut and wants to party in the grand tent with all the pretty people.  The Bird's Nest has been the cause of more than one divorce on and off the PGA Tour as participants get into the action and music provided by the perennial act of "Duck Soup."  This venue makes it possible for oldies but goodies like KC and The Sunshine Band to perform. If you've never attended, you are missing "THE PARTAY."

Since we're on the topic of Golf, how is it that Tiger Woods can hit a fire hydrant, crash into a tree in his neighborhood right outside his home at 2:33 am in the early morning, and be able to shun the police questionaire.  You or I would be in lockup for many days until we confessed that we were being attacked by an angry wife with a weapon - golf club.  How ironic is it that Tiger Woods is beat by one of his own sticks by his former model wife - Elin Nordegren!  Rumor has it that Tiger was putting in the wrong hole and Elin was having no part of it. Evidently, Tiger is making rounds and turning the back nine off the course and on.  I think he could have made a better getaway in his souped up golf cart from his Windermere, Florida - 2.5 million home.  I figured Tiger would have about a 25 million dollar home, sounds like he's hoarding his Buick, Nike, and PGA money somewhere.  Perhaps, he's saving up to buy Elin a really nice ring or necklace (see Kobe Bryant incident in Vail, Colorado) when he messes up or around.  One thing I have to say is Tiger is smart, he chose not to make up a story as he didn't want to have to face perjury charges later on and he has not ratted out his wife.  If he told the truth about Elin, then he has to explain why she was swinging his clubs freely at his skull and even broke out the window.  The airbags did not go off so why did she have to bust the window, because Tiger was in the car and she needed to tee off.  I don't think I want to play in their threesome or foursome.

Aha Toro Tequila made from 100% agave, is smooth, has a delicate aroma and presented in a unique bottle that is a handcrafted piece of blown glass. Try some today!

BCS standings out today, no changes for the top six, all undefeated college football teams with my favorite Boise State Broncos in the mix.  Tostitos Fiesta Bowl awaits (I am hoping and keeping my fingers crossed.)

Thanks to United Kingdom, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, France, Germany and Belgium for their latest visits and support.

Tshirts, tee shirts, t-shirts are still available for You All, Ya Hear !!! shop.mybadtequila.com

Olivia Newton John, Sol de Mexico Tequila, Boise State University

11/27/2009

Hola Amigos Gordos (fat friends) after Thanksgiving!

Olivia Newton John, my secret girlfriend and one of my regrets in life (I never told her that I loved her) after seeing her on the big screen playing opposite John Travolta in Grease in 1978.   "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

The stunning Olivia was born September 26, 1948 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.  She was one of the Queen of England's subjects, and now she is our subject.  Miss Olivia Newton John is a British born, Australian raised actress and singer.  She has won the Grammy Award - 4 times and has had 5 number one hits.  At age 14, Olivia formed an all girl band with three of her classmates.  She appeared quite regularly when young on local Australian radio and television shows.  She has been an activist for animal rights and environmental issues.  Since recovering from breast cancer, Olivia has been a strong advocate for health awareness and helping breast cancer charities.  I don't think Olivia Newton John will be purchasing any Nike products either as long as Michael Vick is in the picture.  Olivia is against dog fighting and animal cruelty as is MY BAD TEQUILA.  We're lovers, not dog fighters!!  Olivia, I still think she is still Hot at 61 years young; however, come to think of it, I haven't seen her lately, so no marriage proposals.  Did I mention I am already married?  Well, marriage again got me out of a potentially sticky and awkward moment or situation.  Still "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

Tequila Time - Sol de Mexico - Premium Tequila, made with 100% Blue Agave.  Try a shot today, your tequila taste buds will thank you: http://www.soldemexico.com

Tee shirt time - lady pirate tshirts, fish n chick t-shirts - all a click away!  Check them out, click on them for a closeup  http://shop.mybadtequila.com

Football Time - Boise State University Broncos hosting Nevada Wolfpack and Coach Chris Ault on the Blue Smurf Turf in Boise, Idaho, coverage by ESPN 2.  BSU Broncos go for another undefeated regular season 3 of the last 4 years and another WAC title.  The Western Athletic Conference is Wacked and Wild Football Action. Fiesta Bowl representatives will be at the Bronco Stadium tonight, ready to ask Boise State University to come back to Glendale, Arizona to play in the University of Phoenix Stadium (Arizona Cardinal Stadium) for another thrilling Fiesta Bowl in the Land of the Sun provided they take care of the Wolfpack tonight and send them howling with tail between their legs.  I had to give University of Phoenix a plug for my great pal and former Staffordshire Stallion American Football teammate in England - Matt B., Sorry, Matt, your Nebraska Cornhuskers are out to pasture this year, last year and probably next year.  You need a new team, hop onto the Boise State Bronco bandwagon;, MY BAD TEQUILA will sponsor you.  Well, I need to end this Blog and go watch my Broncos!!!!

Thanksgiving, Nike, Cabo Wabo

Hola Amigos,

Happy Thanksgiving to All & Your Families!  Sorry, I've missed a couple of days on the Blog, been out getting acquainted with my Arizona desert surroundings.  I've taken a couple of Hummer adventure tours the two days; Yesterday was the Wilderness Trail, where we saw at old fort constructed by the Perry Mesa Original Indians and went though some rough territory on the Aqua Fria River, and on Tuesday, I went on the Orizaba Gold Mine Tour where we saw an old gold mine, some real live cowboys rounding up their herd in the free range country and saw some Arizona wildlife, Gambill Quail, roadrunner, javelina and a couple of bunnies - cottontail and jack rabbit.  It was both fun and educational, if you're out in Arizona and want to go on a fun Hummer Tour, then check out
http:// www.roadrunnerdesertadventures.com

Thanksgiving,
the holiday that began in 1621 with the settling Pilgrims from Plymouth Rock, MA (before there was a Red Sox nation) and the Native Indians of that area.  Stories have it, that they all sat down together on a long picnic bench and shared their food which made for a huge feast.  That was a peaceful time for giving thanks for our many blessings and sharing with others.  May we continue to do this all the year long and may GOD Bless all those less fortunate and also our troops wherever they might lay their heads tonight.

Let us not forgot the true meaning of Thanksgiving, even though the retailers and television producers regard it as entry way to Christmas selling and promotion.  Then again, Christmas has lost it's true meaning as well.  Bah Humbug!!  We'll save that for another Blog Day!

N is the word today and since Nike is so huge in the sports world, let's go with The Nike Brand in Beaverton, Oregon.  I like Nike and I love the State of Oregon and the Portland metropolis area; but, I do not agree with Nike climbing back on board with Michael Vick, past torturer of animals.  Yes, he paid his debt to society, he has been given another chance by the NFL (National Football League) but for Nike to again start a sponsorship with this guy, No Way!  If this happens, guess what I won't be buying anything with that little or big N insigna on it and I'll go to another brand of tennis shoe.  Most shoes are created equal today, Nike doesn't hold a secret ingredient for rubber compound or laces that don't come untied, making shoes is not rocket science, perhaps making a tire out of rubber is - ask Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear or Yokohama and they will swear it is a science,and I agree as an ex tire man, but not sneakers.  So, hello Michael Vick, so long Uncle Rico;  I don't think my decision is going to hurt them, but all your decisions may determine what they do in the future.

Cabo Wabo is the Tequila of the Day for Thanksgiving, especially since I'm heading over to Ricky D.'s house for Thanksgiving dinner and a round of golf beforehand.  Ricky D. always has a great supply of Cabo Wabo on hand in the blue, gallon plus jug that is as heavy as it is fun to drink from.  Cabo Wabo, made famous by Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico - Happy Thanksgiving, Sammy & Chickenfoot!

While we giving thanks, I'd like to thank my Amigos - Sam Rainwater and Mark Mulligan for donating their proceeds from CD sales and performances to the Castaway Kids in the San Carlos, Mexico area.  Also, wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all our Amigos and Neighbors at Bahia Delfin in San Carlos, have fun eating bird on the sea.

Mickey Mouse, Azunia Tequila, Mickey Mantle, Monday Night Football

11/23/2009

?Que Pasa Compadres?

All my Rowdy Amigos are out tonight - Monday Night Football featuring Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans.

Icon - is the word for our 2 MM special Blog guests. Both share the first name of Mickey;  Do you know who they are?

Mickey Mouse an icon for Disneyland and Disney world, this little guy, a cartoon comic character was created in 1928 by Mr. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and was voiced by Walt Disney (RIP) himself.  Born originally Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928, Mickey Mouse changed his name to fit in a with the Hollywood, California crowd as he was living in very close proximity to several other movie stars in Anaheim, California.  Mickey and I moved in the same circles when I was in Hollywood for Baywatch but we never became good friends as I spent alot of time with Pamela Anderson and Mickey was dating Minnie, who was very jealous of Mickey being around beautiful women and/or Hollywood Playboys such as David Hasselhoff , Jim McMahon, Hugh Hefner, Bruce Willis and Rico Austin.  Mickey never married but lived with his life-long partner Minnie Mouse, who has chosen to carry Mickey's last name.  To date no children; but , in mouse years, Minnie is still quite young and fertile, so who knows what lies ahead.   Mickey Mouse is currently the main character and in charge of the Disney Channels' Playhouse Disney series.  Mickey is also the spokesperson and President of The Mickey Mouse Club.  Mickey has helped expand Disney holdings to Europe and Asia.  Here's to Mr. M. Mouse living several hundreds of years more,

Mickey Charles Mantle born October 20. 1931 in Spavinaw, Oklahoma.   He was named after the Hall of Fame catcher Mickey Cochrane of the Philadelphia Athletics (wonder where the Athletics are now?) by his dad Elvin Mantle, known as Mutt, who played amateur baseball and was a fanatic fan.  Mantle said "One of the great heartaches of his life was that he never told his father he loved him.”  If you've never told your Dad you love him and he is still with you, get on the phone or drive over or out and see him, tell him you love him and give him a hug while you're at it.  I, like Mickey , wish that I had the opportunity once again.  The great 18 year major league professional New York Yankee player won 3 American League MVP titles and played in 16 All Star games.  His Yankees with him won 12 pennants and 7 World Series Championships.  Records that Mickey Mantle still holds World Series records for: most Home Runs (18), RBIs (40), Runs (40), Walks (43), Extra base Hits (26), and Total Bases (123). Mickey our friend departed this world on August 13, 1995 RIP.  He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.  Mickey would be proud that the Yankees won another World Series - 2009.

Azunia Tequila from Jalisco, Mexico "starts with only perfectly aged Weber Blue Agave, which grows harmoniously for 8 to 10 years in their sun-drenched fields surrounding the small town of Amatitan. Each agave plant receives naturally produced rich nutrients from the fertile volcanic earth and a regime of seasonal weather."  Try some Azunia Tequila today, I like the way the name starts with Az;  AZ is the initials for Arizona, and yo amor Arizona y Tequila.

Still not too early to get Christmas gifts - a fish n chick tee shirt, a skeleton, fishing woman t-shirt, lady pirate tshirt is what she really wants Santa to give her.  Anyway that what she wants when he has his hot , red, coal dusted Santa suit on that smells of wet reindeer;  When he takes off that red Santa suit and she sees his belly shaking like bowl of jelly, I don't know what she may want?

Chris LeDoux, NFL Football, Linda Lovelace

11/22/2009

Hola Amigos,

Mr. Chris LeDoux, first and foremost was an American Cowboy and Legend and a Great Human, secondarily, he was a Singer, Songwriter and Recording Artist.  Chris LeDoux was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, located on the Gulf Coast on October 2, 1948 and entered into rest March 9. 2005 - RIP, in Casper Wyoming due to complications from a lengthy battle with a rare form of liver disease.  I remember that March day when I learned one of my heroes had gone, I cried and put in his CD and played it over and over.  I was fortunate enough to see Chris LeDoux 3 times live in concert, all three times in a small, close venue.  The first time I witnessed Chris playing his rodeo lived theme songs was in Laughlin, Nevada.  I was staying in Don Laughlin's personal suite at Laughlin's Riverside Casino and Hotel on the top floor overlooking the Colorado River.  I went to the outdoor show that featured Mr. LeDoux and marveled at his performance.  I would get the opportunity a few years later to again see Chris preform at The Grizzly Rose in Denver, Colorado.  The show was so great, that I purchase a ticket for the next night's performance as well.  Never before or since have I went to the same concert 2 nights in a row. With Chris, I'm glad that I did!

Chris Ledoux had 5 milestones in his Rodeo career,
1. in 1964 - Little Britches Rodeo Bareback - World Championship
2. in 1967 - Wyoming State High School - Bareback Bronc Championship
3. in 1969 - National Intercollegiate - Bareback Riding Champion
4. in 1976 - Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association - Bareback World Championship
5. in 1984 - Officially retired from Rodeo competition

Chris took up professional rodeoing in 1970 and to help himself "pay to play the game," starting writing songs about the rodeo lifestyle.  In 1976 after winning the World Bareback Riding Championship at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City , he gained credibility with country music audiences, showing the cowboy songs he wrote and sang were for real.  Garth Brooks helped shoot Chris LeDoux to national prominence by mentioning Chris in his country hit "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)."

Just a few months after his death, Chris LeDoux was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs.  He was the first person ever to be inducted in two categories: 1. for his bareback riding and 2. in the "notables" for his contributions to the the sport through music.  The Academy of Country Music awarded to LeDoux the Pioneer Award in 2005 and his great friend Garth Brooks accepted the award on behalf on Chris' family.  Later that year, Garth recorded "Good Ride Cowboy."  Later that year LeDoux was honored with CMA Chairman's Award of Merit, presented by Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn.  That same evening at the 39th Annual CMA Awards Garth Brooks preformed the song he had written for Chris. "Long Live Chris LeDoux!"

Arizona Cardinals are trying to make it three wins in a row versus St. Louis Rams.  Strange since Cardinals originated in Chicago, transferred to St. Louis and now are the Arizona Cardinals.  I'm sure this time of year, when the snow is falling in Chicago and St. Louis to be in Arizona.  Kurt Warner and gang will be performing their Sunday best, I'm sure.

Since it is L day, there is one person I could think of that had a double L in her name - Linda Lovelace, whatever happened to the "Deep Throat" porn actress.  Linda Susan Boreman was born January 10, 1949 in the Bronx, New York City.  She was famous for the 1972 hardcore porn film, later she denounced her pornography career and then became a spokesperson for the anti-pornography movement.  Who says a Tiger can't change it's stripes or colors, or whatever it is they say?  Linda was in a violent car accident , requiring her to undergo a blood transfusion, which in turn would lead to hepatitis of which she eventually passed away on April 22, 2002 RIP.

Special thanks to the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Ukraine and The Russian Federation for reading our Blog and checking out the Website.

Amigos, our love song "Tequila loves me even if you don't" by Kenny Chesney.

"No matter what happens,
she'll be there waiting
And she won't say no
Tequila loves me even if you don't”

What lyrics, I love Kenny Chesney songs and the way he sings them.  He is comparable to Jimmy Buffett, which makes me feel good that there is someone there to carry the torch.  Alan Jackson, does a great job as well and even has a duet song he does with Mr. Buffett.  Well, you've probably guessed by now that Mr. Kenny Chesney is our special guest on Saturday night and letter K.

“South of the border.  American dollars
Take you a long, long way
Beach side bungalows, sand between your toes,
Nobody knows your name

There's a worm at the bottom of a bottle
That's well within my reach
And the heart that you broke will soon be a joke
As soon as he and I meet

Oh forgettin's cheap in Mexico
She'll be there waiting
And she won't say no
Tequila loves me even if you don't

Madam Tequila's a fine senorita
All my compadres concur
She won't lie, she won't leave in your hour of need
So we're raising our glasses to her

They say "Vamos a echar un trago"
It means "drink it all down 'til you see
The bottom of the glass and it's kickin' your ass"
Boys, the next round's on me

Oh forgettin's cheap in Mexico
She'll be there waiting
And she won't say no
Tequila loves me even if you don't

Oh forgettin's cheap in Mexico
She'll be there waiting
And she won't say no
Tequila loves me even if you don't

Oh forgettin's cheap in Mexico
She'll be there waiting
And she won't say no
Tequila loves me even if you don't

Oh ... oh ... oh ...”

Mr. Kenny Chesney, born Kenneth Arnold Chesney on March 26, 1968 in Knoxville, Tennessee is an American Country Music Artist.  Kenny has recorded 13 albums, 11 of which have received the certification gold or higher by the RIAA.  He has produced more than 30 top ten singles, 17 of which have reached the Number One spot.  He has won 4 consecutive ACM Entertainer of the Year awards, the last on May 18, 2008.  I have many favorites of Kenny songs, my favorite album is "the road and the radio" produced by Buddy Cannon and Kenny Chesney.  Song Number 7 on that CD "Beer in Mexico" always gets me going and puts me in the party mood.

On May 9th, 2005 Kenny married the actress Rene Zellweger on the island of St. John.  After four months of marriage, they filed for and were granted annulment.  On this I'm not taking sides as I respect both of them for their professional roles as artists in their respective fields.  Kenny is a better singer and Rene is a better actress.  I loved her in Jerry McGuire playing opposite Mr. Tom Cruise, the story about an agent, a girl that believes in following her heart and inspiration, and an NFL football player that happens to be on my favorite football team - Arizona Cardinals.  This player was acted brilliantly by Cuba Gooding.  "And that's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump portrayed by another great actor - Tom Hanks.  Well, that's not all I have to say about that, why didn't Cuba, Tom or Rene get ahold of me for a cameo appearance?  Bay Watch will fly me to LA, pay my expenses and asking salary to appear in an episode but a film is being put together in my backyard and do I receive a phone call .......... NOOOOO! I'm not bitter just confused!  ;(

Boise State University is now 11 - 0 after the Broncos having bucked the Utah State Aggies or as I labeled them in 2007 in Logan, Utah, "Agricultural Guys".  It was that night that my five, two other great couples and myself were driven around in the only taxi in Logan to find drinking establishments.  That taxi driver waited for us at each place, even though his phone was ringing off the hook.  I guess we must have tipped pretty fairly the first stop.  Cheers, Rich, Rhonda, Kory, Michele & Connie!!! Fiesta Bowl, here we come?  Give us a break BCS!

Mixx is an excellent "user-driven social media website that serves to help users submit or find content by peers based on interest and location."  Combining bookmarking, social networking with personalization tools, web syndication and blogging.  Beta Mixx "Your Blend of the web."  http://mixx.com

Aha Toro Tequila Anejo is worth visiting again, it "is an excellent Tequila made from 100% agave.  Its smooth, delicate aroma, amber hue and incomparable flavor make it a beverage for true connoisseurs."

Janis Joplin, Cabo Wabo, Bette Midler,

11/20/2009

Feliz Noche de Sabado, Amigos!

Janis Joplin is our J girl tonight! What an incredible bluesy voice she had - my favorite "Piece of My Heart" is pure JJ - Janis Joplin!!



Miss Joplin was born in Port Authur, Texas on January 19, 1943, attended the Church of Christ and began singing in a local choir and befriended a group of outcasts, one of whom had some albums of African - American Blues artists such as Leadbelly and Bessie Smith.  In high school she was overweight and her skin broke out badly.  Kids being the little angels that we know them as taunted Janis and called her names such as "pig, " "freak" and "creep" Joplin was quoted as saying.   Janis graduated high school in 1960 and then attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, Texas and later transfered to the University of Texas in Austin where she was one of the proud Longhorns.  Even though she did not graduate, the campus newspaper ran a profile of her in 1962 headlined "She dares to be different."

During her last college year, her drug use became more apparent, she was labeled a "speed freak", occasionally used heroin and psychoactive drugs. J anis could also drink with the best of us, a heavy drinker throughout her career; her drink of choice - Southern Comfort.  *(Special note) - Southern Comfort was the first alcohol that I consumed enough of that made me sick when at age 16 on my Senior Sneak Trip at Yellowstone National Park.  Guess, I was lucky to not have acquired a taste for Southern Comfort.

Miss Janis Joplin was a true pioneer in a male dominated rock music scene of the late 1960s.  Stevie Nicks said that after witnessing Joplin perform, "I knew that a little bit of my destiny had changed.  I would search to find that connection that I had seen between Janis and her audience.  In a blink of an eye she changed my life. " Pretty heavy stuff but true!  I can't make all this shit up!

In 1979 I fell in love with Bette Midler portraying Janis Joplin in the film "The Rose", of which Bette earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her outstanding performance.  This might have been the 2nd movie I ever cried at. Years later, I would have a dear friend - Brian N., RIP take his own life and at his funeral they played "Wind Beneath My Wings."  Each time I hear that lovely song, I think of Brian & of Bette. =)

"Mercedes Benz" and a birthday greeting "Happy Trails" for John Lennon on October 1, 1970. RIP, Lennon's birthday was October 9, and he would later tell Dick Cavett that the birthday greeting and present arrived at his home after her death on October 4, 1970, RIP.

Janis would again have her days of memorial - she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.  Among the many collectibles in Cleveland, Ohio at the Hall of Fame Museum are Janis's scarf and necklaces and her 1965 Porsche 356 Cabriolet with it's psychedelically-designed painting.  Just a week ago, on November 14, 2009 Janis Joplin was honored again at the 14th Annual American Music Masters Series.  A tribute concert was given at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio.  I hope my great friend, Ms. Patricia B. from Akron was able to attend.  She loved Janis and Bette as well.

Well Boys & Girls, Amigos y Amigas, it is Saturday night and I need a cold cerveza called Corona with a lime and I think tonight I'll follow with a shot of Cabo Wabo - thanks Mr. Sammy Hagar .  Turn on the tunes, perhaps Alan Jackson - five o'clock somewhere singing with Jimmy Buffett and find my Kenny Chesney "Beer in Mexico". I like to call it "Have another Beer in Mexico.

I'm not even going to push the Tshirts, tee shirts, tshirts tonight!  If you want one http://shop.mybadtequila.com/

Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Aquascalientes Tequila & Survivor

11/19/2009

Amigos de MY BAD TEQUILA, What 's Goin On?

Ivanka Trump, is our special Tequila Girl Subject tonight. Born Oct. 30, 1981, she is a socialite, heiress, fashion model and an American businesswoman.  A few weeks ago said so long Daddy & hello Hubby as she married Jared Kushner, from one of the largest real estate families in New York.  Donald Trump and his estranged ex Ivana Trump gave away their daughter at Donald's own Trump National Golf Club in Westminster, New Jersey in a private Jewish ceremony.  Guests included Russell Crowe, Barbara Walters, Regis Philbin and former New York City Mayor - Rudy Giuliani amongst many other shakers and movers in the "Huge Trump Circle".  I waited patiently by the mailbox, but no invitation arrived so I took the gift I had purchased and traded it in for cash and bought TEQUILA.  The Donald will remember MY BAD TEQUILA at the next soiree I'm sure of it.  Back to the woman of the hour, Ivanka has brains, class and beauty as she showed all three in several appearances of "The Apprentice" - Daddy Trump's show.  Best of Luck to Ivanka!!

Hot off the press - OPRAH Winfrey will end her reign on TV, her last taped syndicated show on September 9, 2011 according to HARPO which is OPRAH spelled backwards, (some of you already knew that, but some didn't .  So no need to panic as you have just shy of two years to get your fanny to Chicago, Illinois for a chance to meet Oprah!  If you go, take my book and have her tell the world about it, as it seems any novel or book she recommends is an instant best seller.  Maybe, I'll send Mrs. Rico to her show as she is a big fan and that would allow me time to take the Harley Road Trip with the Boys south to Mexico.

Aquascalientes Anejo Tequila
- labeled "Tequila Milagro" meaning "Miracle Tequila" - satisfying the most demanding palates.  Aquascalientes meaning hot water is also a name of one of the states and cities in Mexico.

Returned from watching Survivor in Samoa, reminds me of when I lived among the Tongans in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii and we would chase a pig that got loose, through a Circle K and capture it in the candy aisle.  You know what happens next - Luau!  Well I was hoping that either Russell or Shambo would get the boot tonight and get their fire extinguished.  But Shambo survived, she actually thinks she's a female Rambo, but to tell the truth I think Sylvester Stallone is much better looking and believe me "I don't want no Oscar Meyer weiner."  It's just " that she is well not very purdy", like they would say in Mississippi.  Well Jeff Probst has about the best job in the world with CBS, living in exotic worlds telling others to eat exotic food of which we prefer to not eat.  If you haven't watched an episode of Survivor, it's a bit hard to enter mid season as there are some characters on there.  I love the show, this and The Office with Steve Carell are the only regular shows I watch and they both are on Thursday evenings.

If you aren't doing anything productive, buy a t-shirt, tee shirt, tshirt or at least look at them and then I believe you might take out your credit card and purchase one.  It has the www.MyBadTequila.com on the back?  follow us on twitter = mybadtequila

Buenos Noches,

Hilton, Sol de Mexico Tequila, Acumbaro Tequila, Fish n Chicks Tee Shirts

11/18/2009

?Que Pasa Amigos?

Hump Day Wednesday is upon us!  Also known as Camel or Dromedary day for places in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

Hilton is our topic today for the letter H.  No, we're not going to talk about Paris Hilton or sister Nicky Hilton;  This is the real Hilton - Conrad Hilton, the most famous Hilton that started the Hilton Hotel Chain.  Conrad Hilton lived a very interesting life as he was born December 25, 1887 (Christmas Baby) and passed away January 3, 1979 RIP at the age of 91.  A must read is Conrad's "Be My Guest", it doesn't claim to be an autobiography but might as well, for it tells of his life from his beginnings in the little town of San Antonio, New Mexico.   He attended and was educated at the New Mexico Military Institute, at St. Michael's College (now College of Santa Fe), and the New Mexico School of Mines (now New Mexico Tech).  He was a Republican Representative in the first legislature of the newly formed State of New Mexico of which he played a great part in New Mexico gaining statehood.

His dad - Augustus Halvorson Hilton (1854 - 1919) RIP was an immigrant from Norway and owned the first automobile in the Territory of New Mexico.  Oddly enough that vehicle was also the cause of his death as he ran it into a canal and was killed in the first automobile accident in the State of New Mexico.  His mother - Mary Genevieve Laufersweiler (1861 - 1947) RIP was an American with German roots.

Conrad Hilton had come from riding a horse to school to marrying Zsa Zsa Gabor and living in Hollywood, having a daughter -in-law named Elizabeth Taylor.  I believe he saw it all, beginning from a small boarding house to have hundreds of hotels around the world.  Conrad spoke highly of all three of his wives in "Be My Guest" even though Zsa Zsa Gabor has her stories as well as 9 different husbands.  Her latest incident has been the $10,000,000 loss to Bernard Madoff.

Eldest son, Conrad Jr. aka Nicky Hilton married 18 year old Elizabeth Taylor, it was a first marriage for both but only lasted 205 days before ending in divorce and that included a 3 month long European Honeymoon.  Gives a new meaning to "National Lampoon's European Vacation," Nicky Hilton would die 11 years later RIP so he never fully inherited the Hilton Hotel Chain.  Elizabeth Taylor was never slowed as she went onto wed another 7 times for a total of 8 husbands.  One short of her sort of, kind of Mother-in-Law Zsa Zsa.  What a life, what a story.  I even sent my mother a copy of "Be My Guest" to read and she loved it, so will you.  But I know, you're saving your beach reading and eyes for "MY BAD TEQUILA" novel.  Thanks, I appreciate that!

Well, I received a very nice private note by a facebook friend and fellow author concerning yesterday's Blog.  She is going through some tough times and accidentally hit the wrong button on her computer keyboard and my Blog popped up and all she saw was GOD is Great.  At the time she was waiting for a call from her Doctor for good or bad news.  I haven't heard from her since, but she wrote that it made her feel much better and gave her more faith.  WoW! Linda, all our Prayers go out for you.

You didn't think we were going to go 2 days without a Tequila recommendation did you?


Acumbara Tequila Silver is triple distilled, straight from the still.  The Acumbara Tequila Anejo is aged two years in oak barrels.  The bottles are all artisan hand crafted. If you want to visit the distillery, Amatitan, Jalisco, Mexico awaits you.

Sol de Mexico - makes Premium Tequila from 100% Blue Agave; Tequilas are offered in three varieties - Blanco Tequila, Reposado Tequila and Anejo Tequila.  I've mentioned this Tequila before and I need to mention again, as it will grow in popularity due to it's smooth taste.  "Sol de Mexico" translates to "Sun of Mexico" a great play on words as Tequila is actually "Mexico's Son or Son of Mexico." www.soldeMexico.com

Hey, I sold 2 tee shirts, t-shirts, tshirts;  One to a loyal reader in Boise, Idaho - he bought a small ladies tank top for his hot esposa.  The other went to an Amigo in Smyrna, Georgia, (close to Atlanta), he ordered and purchased a large T-shirt! Gracias, let's keep the orders coming in.

Lastly, if any of you know of a writing job or sales territory manager position in Scottsdale / Phoenix area please let me know via my email address: [email protected]


Gracias This Blog ain't paying the bills but it is FUN!

GOD is Great, GOD is Goodness, GOD is Love

11/17/2009

Hello Amigos, Brothers & Sisters,

Today is about GOD, about his Greatness, his Goodness and his Love!  It is G day in the alphabet and the only thing I can think of to write about is GOD.  I am not a prophet, an evangelist nor a spiritual adviser.  I do however, know of God's Love for all his Children and I am thankful I am one of his many Children in this fantastic world that he created.  All the animals, plants, sea creatures, birds and the brainpower he has given us to build unbelievable structures and do incredible things with electronics that are in our airplanes, cars, trains, space shuttles and even our computers.

This Blog today is not about a certain religion or belief, it is not about Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or Hinduism; it is about Brotherly Love for one another. It is about the Golden Rule - "Do unto others that you would have them do unto you" or more simply "Treat others as you want to be treated."  Not too difficult of a concept to comprehend; but, in today's face paced world, it is overlooked daily by most of us, Moi included.

Let us all take a moment to say a Prayer for Our Planet, Our World, Our Country, Our Friends, Our Family and Our Household.

On Easter Sunday 2007 it was estimated that 2 billion Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christians recited, sang or read the short prayer in hundreds of languages.  "Although many theological differences and various modes and manners of worship divide Christians, there is a sense of solidarity in knowing that Christians around the globe are praying together....., and these words always unite us" according to a Fuller Seminary professor.

Let us all recite the Lord's Prayer, it is perhaps the best-known prayer in Christianity and I being a Christian know this Prayer.

"Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen"

While we're at it , let's not forget to thank our Lord GOD for all that he has blessed us with and to say a special prayer for those who can not walk, for those who can not see, for those who are afflicted with disease or afflicted with sorrow, for those who are without parents or relatives.  Say a special Prayer for our Soldiers and International Red Cross as they put themselves in harm's way to help defeat World Terrorism and provide us with the Freedom that GOD gave to us all.

Amen,

Fred Flintstone, 901 Tequila, Indianapolis Colts - Peyton Manning, Fountain Hills Festival of Arts & Crafts

11/16/2009

0 Comments

 
Amigo Mios,

It's just another Manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday, Cause that's my fun day - as the Bangles would sing!

Fred Flintstone and the Flintstone gang are special guests today for the Letter F;  Fountain Hills Festival of Arts & Crafts honorary mention.

Yabba Dabba Doo!!  Any of us that have watched cartoons (all of us) have heard that phrase made famous by Fred Flintstone, the prehistoric animated character that lived and worked in Bedrock, but faced the problems of contemporary working-class life.  Fred & Wilma, the perfect stone-age couple and best friends Barney and Betty Rubble were inseparable, no funny business or wife swapping in this great family style cartoon.  After working all day at the Rock Quarry, Fred and Barney would race home in the vehicle with stone wheels and foot powered.  Fred & Wilma had Dino the Dinosaur and a saber tooth tiger as their family pets.  Later on in the series Pebbles appears as the Flintstones' daughter and Bamm Bamm is the adopted super strong baby of the Rubbles.  Years later they would have their own show as teenagers and lovers.

The Flintstones was the very first animated situation comedy shown in prime time television and it gained outstanding ratings in its first season.  166 Episodes were produced by Hanna - Barbera (William Hanna and Joe Barbera), premiering on September 30, 1960 on ABC, it ran for six seasons with the final episode airing on April 1, 1966.  (Not a good April Fool's Day joke!)

Little known fact: The Flintstones was patterned after "The Honeymooners" starring Jackie Gleason.  (Speaking of Jackie, I want to wish my cousin Happy Birthday.)  Originally designed for the entire family, the program eventually did appear as 'Children's Television" when rebroadcast by NBC in 1967.  This cartoon also broke ground in that each episode contained only one story that lasted the entire half hour.  Until the 1960s, cartoons were generally only a few minutes long.  Although The Flintstones were canceled in 1966, the series has continued to have a strong afterlife in syndication.  Long Live Fred Flintstone!! Yabba Dabba Doo !!!

This weekend, Nov. 13, 14, 15 was the Fountain Hills Festival of Arts and Crafts which feature nearly 500 artists, artisans and gourmet food provisioners.  Where is Fountain Hills?  It is a beautiful retirement community just East of Scottsdale and hosts the largest man-made Fountain in the Western Hemisphere.  Lots of fun; however, I don't like the idea of renting scooters as this festival does, wheelchairs I agree with as some folks can not walk long distances.  If you already have your own scooter then bring it as I have a beautiful cousin named Sophie (loved the book Sophie's Choice) that needs one to get around, but wherever she goes so does the scooter.  She knows how to operate one correctly and safely, does it daily.  Some of the elderly senior citizens that rented scooters this last weekend, had never been on one except maybe a larger model that serves as a large shopping cart in Albertson's, Fry's or Safeway Food Stores where the aisles are wide and are not filled with over 200,000 attendees and pets that wished their masters would have opted for them to stay at home for the day.  Wheel chairs are controllable and people powered, scooters are motor driven and powered.  I witnessed 3 different episodes of runaway scooters into crowds of people.  I ran the other way so I do not know for sure how many were injured.

This may be our longest Blog yet to date: Still need to discuss the great Sunday Night Football Game with the super hero Indianapolis Colt - Peyton Manning overtaking the Patriots led by competent Tom Brady.  Patriots leading my 13 points midway through the 4th quarter, many fans of Indianapolis Colts had left the stadium and television sets around the country were turned off or switched to another channel.  Many fans were pleasantly surprised or very pissed off this morning when watching the early news, reading the sports section or socializing over coffee.  Bill Belichick, be assured is second guessing himself going for it on fourth down instead of punting.  I'm not saying anything, as I've made my share of stupid decisions.

Tequila Time: 901 Tequila, "it's always smooth", "it's always authentic", "it's always beyond compare", plus Justin Timberlake and MY BAD TEQUILA love it.  Rico of MyBadTequila.com comments, "I could sip this smooth 901 Tequila all night and into the morning.  Try 901 Tequila today and find out what the commotion is all about!"

Monday Night Football is happening as I finish this Blog.  Brady Quinn and his Cleveland Browns are hosting the Baltimore Ravens on ESPN.  I did get to watch Hank Williams Jr. do his "Are You Ready for some Monday Night Football" song.

Feliz Domingo Amigos de MY BAD TEQUILA,

Noah Biorkman the Brave Boy, we all hope you had a Great Christmas week and received many, mucho Christmas Cards.  If you get a chance to let us know, that would be great!  Maybe your Mom or Dad could write us a note or comment and let us know.  We had some friends from Ireland that were going to send you one all the way across the Atlantic Ocean - WOW, it might be coming by a big ship or a large airmail cargo plane.  Special thanks to WKSR radio station in Pulaski, Tennessee for your help in making Noah's Christmas come true.  May God Bless Noah, his family, his friends and all those who've sent Christmas Cards and well wishes to Mr. Noah!

Even though it has now been 2 days since visiting Dirty Dogg Saloon, I can not get it off my mind.  I might have to return later this week to again watch chicas hanging upside down from the rafters - hula hooping or hoola hooping.  As you can see I admire upside down antics.

Took my Buddy, bright, bold, brown-eyed Bryce B. back to Sky Harbor Airport in the Phoenix area, sending him back to wife MiRa and Atlanta, Georgia.  Had a great weekend!  Also, I was able to get 7 B words in a row - whew!

Arizona Cardinals are hosting the Seattle Seahawks at the University of Phoenix Stadium at this time and I can't believe Seattle is leading in the beginning of the 2nd quarter.  C'mon Mr. Kurt Warner, I wanted a repeat of our performance earlier this year in Seattle when Cardinals wons 27-3;

Boise State University did another outstanding job on the Idaho Vandals; I believe this is 11 wins in a row as in 11 years in a row my beloved Broncos have denounced and embarrassed the other Idaho team from the north part of the state in a little college town of Moscow.  I'm already thinking about Numero 12!!  Honorable mention to USC (University of South Carolina) for staying with the Florida Gators most of the game.

Tequila of the Day is back to Cabo Wabo, partly because of Sammy Hagar being a good friend and musician and partily because of it being such a great Blue Agave Tequila.

Thanks to Japan, Senegal, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Turkey and Germany for your latest and many visits to MY BAD TEQUILA.  Of course Gracias to all our U.S.A. Amigos, states California, New York, Washington, Arkansas, Colorado and Idaho were largest state contributors this week.  The only way each of you out there could make me happier is by buying (no pun intended) a fish n chicks lady skeleton t-shirt, tee shirt, tshirt!  http://shop.mybadtequila.com

Dirty Dogg Saloon, Sam Rainwater - CD Release Party, Patron & Corona

11/14/2009

Buenas Dias Amigos,

Last night was a party night for MY BAD TEQUILA and friends;  Started out in old Scottsdale for Sam Rainwater's CD release party at Club Max's Sports Grill.  Sam aka Rocket Man is an amigo and neighbor I met in San Carlos, Mexico and he is a songwriter and singer; he just got back from recording his latest CD "Vacation Location" at Direct Image Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.  There are 17 fun songs on his latest CD beginning with "Vacation Location" and ending with "It Ain't Cool to be a Pirate Anymore." Sam donated 100% proceeds from CD sales and Koozies to "Castaway Kids", a worthwhile charity for homeless and parent less children in the Guaymas and San Carlos, Mexico area.  Thanks Sam Rainwater and Mark Mulligan.

There to join in the fun were Bryce B. an old Michelin Buddy from years past.  He is visiting My Bad Tequila from Atlanta, Georgia for the weekend!  We miss You MiRa!!!  Also in attendance were Mark & Rachelle from Glendale, Arizona, more amigos we've been fortunate to have met in San Carlos, Mexico.  Not all of My Rowdy Friends have settled down.  After Coronas, Pacificos, Margaritas and Patron shots we headed up to North Scottsdale to a wild biker bar - Dirty Dogg Saloon www.dirtydoggsaloonaz.com   What a place!  Hot, scantily clad chicas literally hanging from the rafters upside down and hoola hooping.  It was a riot and my eyes are still hurting from all the eye candy that was taken in.  4 out of 5 optometrists would approve of this place; however, only 1 out of 5 wives will approve.  All of us can not wait to drag ourselves out of that establishment again, hopefully in the very near future.

Last stop was at "The Office" an upscale sports bar in Northeast Scottsdale to see Bartender amigo - Chris and to have a night cap, another Corona before turning the lights out at the Ol" home Hacienda.

Time now to watch some college football; there is a heavy discussion between Bryce and myself over which game we want to watch at 1:30 pm MST.  Bryce wants to watch his graduate school alma mater - University of South Carolina take on the Florida Gators, my vote is for my alma mater and the team I played college ball for: Boise State University Broncos take on in-state rival Idaho Vandals on the blue turf in Boise, Idaho.  To settle this, we may have to go back to "The Office" so that we may watch both games and a couple others simultaneously - try saying that quickly after a crazy night out at Dirty Dogg Saloon.

Order and buy a fish n chick tee shirt, t-shirt, tshirt with a lady skeleton. http://shop.mybadtequila.com/

Thunderbird Tower, Edie Falco, Home Depot, 7 Siete de Copas Tequila

11/12/2009

Amigos Mios,


The Thunderbird (School of Global Management) Tower Groundbreaking Ceremony and Celebration at the Thunderbird Campus this afternoon in Glendale, Arizona.  The World War II air tower will be restored from the bare bones and when completed, part of the bottom floor will be a common area for Students to relax and another section will be the newly located Pub.  According to Project Director - Mr. Will C. this is the most controversial subject of the entire project.  The original Pub, founded in 1972 is located in one of the old hangers and will be sorely missed as great friendships and camaraderies were made there.  As long as the Beer and Tequila still taste great, I can learn to live with it.  But as they always say "Out with the Old, In with the New."  With each day that passes, I am farther away from the latter category.

Edie Falco, born Edith (Edie for short) Falco on July 5, 1963 on Long Island, New York.  She played small parts but always challenged as a struggling actress until 1999 on HBO's series "The Sopranos" as Carmella, the wife of New Jersey Mafia Gangster and Street Boss - Tony Soprano.  In 2000 Edie Falco became the first actress in history to sweep all the main television awards (the Emmy, the Golden Globe, the SAG) in one year for a dramatic role.  Edie was also the first female actress ever to achieve the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama.  Way to go Edie Falco, even Tony Soprano could never bribe for himself that award nor can he off you or dump your remains underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.  You are now too famous!

Home Depot - I've spent way too much time there lately and it will hopefully be awhile before I go back.
7 Siete de Copas Tequila - Seven cups of Tequila from Jalisco State in Mexico is our Tequila of the Day;
Tshirts, tee shirts, t-shirts are on sale every day!  Buy a pirate skeleton Fish n Chick tank top today at http://shop.mybadtequila.com

Zsa Zsa Gabor, Danny Devito, Pittsburgh Steelers, 1921 Tequila

11/10/2009

Amigos y Amigas,

 
Zsa Zsa Gabor left me a comment on our Blog, after years of nothing, she suddenly reappears in my life and turns it topsy turvy.  Years ago in Hollywood I met Zsa Zsa around the time I was starring on Baywatch.  We had an affair that rivaled Audrey Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Gilligan and Ginger, The Movie Star (another movie star).  After reading my Facebook about Farmville and all the trouble I've had to endure with farm animals and crops, she has reached out once again to grasp my bleating pounding chest;  Be Still my Fainting Heart!!!  I will meet her again in THE BIG APPLE and we will walk hand in hand in Central Park (we'll run if we see muggers) and relive the days of our New York to California extravaganza that lasted nearly a ..........  *Special Note - this was before I became a married man and before Zsa Zsa's th? marriage!

Funny Man - Mr. Danny Devito is our famous guest today, born Nov. 17, 1944 in Neptune, New Jersey.  I remember him well in Romancing the Stone and the sequels that followed, also starring the hot Miss Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglasl  He always played brilliantly, the tiny, awkward funny man that was suppose to be a scoundrel but you could not help but wish the best for his character.  Why I most enjoy about Danny Devito is his long lasting marriage and commitment to his also hilarious wife - Rhea Perlman, known best as the smart aleck cocktail waitress in the long running comedy, Cheers, which also starred Ted Danson and Shelley Long, Woody Harrelson, with many others who've gone on to act and play in successful movies.  Mr. Devito received his prominent start in Taxi as Louie de Palma from 1978 - 1983.  We love you, Ol' Danny Boy!

1921 Tequila - advertised in Mexico as Not Only TEQUILA, it is History!

Pittsburgh Steelers once again showed why they won the Super Bowl last year and five times before that as their offense and defense played strong against the very capable Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football via ESPN.  Great game to watch as aired in the Mile High City.

Farmville, Facebook, Chevy Chase, Clint Eastwood, Arizona Cardinals, Berlin Wall, Sol de Mexico - Premium Tequila

11/9/2009

Hola Amigos,
Today I ended it with Farmville, the suppose to be fun little farm that grows right before your eyes.  I don' t know if my Farmville received a virus or some gamer was having fun destroying my crops and turning my farm animals against me.  Here is how my farmville day started: Damn pigs ate my tomatoes, chickensh-t everywhere, strawberry juice on my neighbor's kid and cows wandering all over the 40 acres.  I was done with Farmville, so headed into the city with a trunkload of pork on dry ice.  Whoever wants squatters rights to the farm can have along with my farmer wife.  Don't want to play Aquarium Life or Aquariumville, no Mafia Wars, 6 ways to separate or how to lose your lover including various offshoots such as the six degrees of separation.  None of those facebook games are for me again.  If I play any games it will be "Sex in the City."  Whoever heard of a pink cow?  But, sure enough there was one wandering around aimlessly in the hayfield, un ugly duckling that I was supposed to find a home for.  This is not the kind of farming I was used to in Idaho, most of the farm animals were not sad for this reason or that.  I was so upset that I forgot my ferocious 3 pound chihuahua but I did let him out of his pen especially since he is a chicken lover and I mean he loves to eat chicken.  Have fun Fido!

Twenty years ago the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, something that seemed unimaginable at the time.  Checkpoint Charlie was no more, friends and family could once again be together.  No longer East Germany and West Germany in the Olympics which only helped Germany win more medals and become stronger as a larger nation.  Congratulations to that part of the world for the beginning of the end of "The Cold War."

Chevy Chase aka Fletch is our celebrity today with sidekick "Dirty Harry".  Could you imagine what a dynamic duo Dirty Harry and Fletch would have been in the keep the streets safe in any bad city, USA?  Chevy Chase born October 8, 1943, Chevy was a musician and worked a few other jobs before pursuing comedy with National Lampoon.  He also appeared on Saturday Night Live on their inaugural season.  I believe his most favorable and memorable character was Clark Griswold in National Lampoon's Vacation.  Other successful comedies were Caddyshack, Three Amigos and Fletch.  We love you Clark Griswold and are happy you made it safely to Wally World and almost hooked up with Super Model Christie Brinkley in the pool scene on your way to California.

Clint Eastwood, the icon of macho movie stars, successful director and mayor of Carmel, California was born May 31, 1930 in San Francisco, California.  His credits are too numerous to mention from Rawhide to Gran Torino, Million Dollar Bay, Dirty Harry, Bronco Billy, Hang Em High, The Outlaw Josey Wales and many, many more in between.  Thanks Clint for being Clint - The One and Only Eastwood.

Congratulations to Kurt Warner and The Arizona Cardinals in their impressive win over Chicago Bears.  Kurt Warner threw for 5 touchdowns and no inceptions, quite different than just one week earlier where he had thrown 5 interceptions and was charged with 1 fumble. Kurt, you really helped my Fantasy Football team with 40 points from you and Kicker Neil Rackers added another 11 points.  Let's keep it up and we'll see the Playoffs again this year.

Check out Sol de Mexico - Premium Tequila's website at http://www.soldemexico.com/ has requested that MY BAD TEQUILA add a true / false suggestion concerning tequila, so look for that new information in the next day or two.

T-shirts, tee shirts, tshirts, all sizes available at http://shop.mybadtequila.com/ and I hope you sent Mr. Noah in Michigan a Christmas Card !

TGIF Amigos,

The Beatles and The Boss - Bruce Springsteen are our B people today.

One of the Greatest things or bands to come out of the United Kingdom was The Beatles, Princess Diana, and David Beckman, James Bond, Austin Powers and Mr. William Shakespeare but the Beatles are truly unique.

The origination of this 4 member band began in 1957 with John Lennon at the age of 17 and a band that played skiffe, jazz and blues of which he formed named The Black Jacks who almost immediately changed their names to the Quarry Men made up entirely of classmates from the Quarry Bank Grammar School in Liverpool.  That summer of 1957, 15 year old Paul McCartney, a self taught left-handed guitar player auditioned and began playing with the band in October 1957.  In February 1958 John Lennon had started to play rock n roll and their banjo player left.  This gave Paul McCartney the opportunity to invite his friend and former classmate George Harrison.   Quarry Men broke up in 1959 but Lennon and McCartney continued their songwriting while Harrison joined another band.  In 1962 drummer Pete Best left and thus entered Ringo Starr.  In September 1962, The Beatles had their first single released "Love me do" which reached #17 in the United Kingdom.  Almost 2 years later it was the #1 hit in the US.  In 1964 The Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan Show with an estimated 73 million viewers, it was at this moment Beatlemania was created.  And as they say the rest in history.

The Boss - Bruce Springsteen gets honorable mention today.  Born Bruce Fredrick Joseph Springsteen on September 23,1949 in New Jersey.  Bruce took up music at the age of 7 after seeing Elvis Presley perform on The Ed Sullivan Show.  The "Boss" is an American singer / songwriter and his most successful studio albums "Born to Run" and "Born in the USA" epitomize his finding the best in the daily struggles of American life.  He has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and over 120 million worldwide.

Here are other great music performing B's that I came up with, if you can add to the list please donate a comment and we'll get it posted for all to see.  Beach Boys, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Bay City Rollers, B,B. King, Barbara Streisand or Babs, and Garth Brooks.  Of all the bands mentioned today, I've only had the pleasure of seeing The Beach Boys and Garth Brooks in live concert.  Strangely enough I witnessed Garth Brooks in performing in England.  The Beach Boys are also mentioned personally in the novel - MY BAD TEQUILA.

Tequila Brand of the day = 4 Copas de Tequila, the first certified organic tequila.  Some tequila is made up of chemicals and pesticides along with the Agave.  Try it, I'm sure you will enjoy!

Boise State University Broncos take on Louisiana Tech in Louisanna at 6:00 pm MST on ESPN2 tonight. Go Big Blue Broncos, cheer them on as they try to continue their unbeaten season and a chance to win another BCS game as they did against Oklahoma Sooners in January 2007 at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.  And buy a t-shirt, tee shirt, tshirt from me while watching the game. http://shop.mybadtequila.com/ Twitter = mybadtequila

Que Tengan un Buen Fin De Semana ! = Have a Great Weekend !

Andre Agassi, 1800 Tequila, Tee Shirts, Mexican Insurance, Gracias & Thank You

Amigos, ?Que Tal?
Beginning tonight I will begin with the letter A and write about a famous person. The first shall be Andre Agassi since he is in the news right now and both last and first name begin with the first letter of the alphabet.  Tomorrow will be someone famous or infamous, they may be alive and well, in prison, in the movies or dead for a couple hundred years.  Our readership has skyrocketed and I feel obligated to teach something of value in this Blog.  I know, most of you can't wait for the letter O to see if I choose Oprah over Obama, Olivia Newton John or Oscar the Grouch.  Let me know who you would like to learn more about!!!

Andre Agassi born April 29, 1970!  Andre what are you doing?  You write a book telling about your crystal meth use, wearing a wig, and now you plea for compassion on 60 minutes.  Why are you so surprised that you have received criticism, just because you were depressed in 1997 that is a reason to use  (You were only 27 years of age) Hell, I was depressed from 1992 - 1998 but I sure as heck knew crystal meth was not going to get my through to a better day or better way.  He's upset because Martina Navratilova compared him to Roger Clemens!  Andre you wanted to shock the world with your book and needed something outrageous for it to be hot and it backfired, like hitting into the net and it ricochets back and hits you in the bal-s.  You've won 4 Australian Opens, 2 US Opens, 1 French Open, and uno Wimbledom for the Queen of England.  And here is the best part of your life - You had Brooke Shields for a wife for two full years.  I would be estatic to have her for a girlfriend for 1 day and that would be enough to keep me from being depressed.  Then at the 1999 French Open, You and the talented West German born Steffi Graf were the surprise champions.  You danced later that night at "The Winner's Ball," and began dating after that, eventually marrying another hot chick and having a family.  Andre Agassi, conclusion is that I like you, wish you would not have taken crystal meth and then since you did; you should have taken it to your grave with you.  Did you really need that much more money and to be in the spotlight once again?

Secondly, we will briefly discuss a different tequila most every night unless something very unique is happening or if I absolutely need to write concerning a matter that is bugging the heck out of me or very dear to my heart of which I feel you must be made aware of.

1800 Tequila - named in commemoration of the year in which the first expertly aged tequila was unveiled.  Downloadable drink recipes. www.1800tequila.com

Thirdly,
we're probably going to discuss your terrible behavior in not purchasing Tee shirts, t-shirts, tshirts.  The only way we're going to end this is if you begin to buy and then I can add 2 more really, really neat ones that Mrs. Rico designed.  She is after all a graphic designer and artist by trade and hobby.


Alright, I said enough on this already.  I'll give a public service announcement instead:
DRIVING TO MEXICO?  You need Mexican Auto Insurance, email: [email protected]

Fourthly, once in a while we are going to thank our audience from different states, countries, etc., I think we'll stay away from zip codes!

Thank YOU, My brothers in United Kingdom, Japan, Hungary, The Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, France, Mis Amigos en Mexico and of course the Good Old United States of America.  Let's go ahead and mention a couple of states: California, New York, yeah we know you just won the World Series, pipe down!  Arkansas, Washington State and Nebraska.
We appreciate your coming to visit us on the MY BAD TEQUILA BLOG! Twitter = mybadtequila

Saludos Compadres,

World Series, Jose Cuervo, Hooters, ASU vs. USC

11/4/2009

Happy Hump Day Amigos de MY BAD TEQUILA;

World Series Champions are "The New York Yankees."  Congratulations for Series #27 and to the heavy hearts in Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Phillies - Great Run and we enjoyed watching it.  Let the Party begin on Wednesday night for the Statue of Liberty town as it was called during this "Liberty Series."  And someone please go ahead and ring that great "Liberty Bell" in Philadelphia one more time and hold your heads high.  This is one of those situations where there cannot be a "Win Win Situation" that managers are always pushing to our brains.  In the World Series and in the Sports World there has to be a Winner; yes we can have 2nd place, 3rd place, etc., etc., Even in the Olympics there are only medals given to the Top Three Finishers.  I suppose in Kindergarten there is always a winner, winner, winner, but with that there can always be confusion.  Who was actually "The Winner?" Guess that is why I am not teaching 5 year olds how to color and high five after naps and chocolate milk breaks.

Artie the One Man Party and I are gearing up for the Arizona State University Football game this Saturday in Tempe where we will host the twice this year beaten University of Southern California Trojans (remember no rubber or condom jokes).  The Trojan is a real mascot and not simply something that is pulled over something else.  It should be a fun nationally televised game where the outcome is not completely known this year as USC has shown they do have weaknesses.  Not strong weaknesses (something completely wrong with that phrase) but some weakness all the same.  Coach Dennis Erickson needs to have his squad of Sun Devils ready for this home game.  If it starts to turn into a blowout, Artie loves Hooters - he confesses to the Smokin Hot Mrs. Artie that he loves the wings not the breasts.  Me, I like the whole chick, I mean chicken!!!  Fingerlickin, never mind, that is the other place with the old guy with the white beard that is a sergeant , corporal or general.  I know it's something to do with the military and he is from the Great State of Kentucky. I think he has a brother named Barry .........

Time to get rid of some of that Jose Cuervo that's been hiding here for a couple of years. I'm also going to count tee shirts, t-shirts, t shirts as I have a lot of them and am bored.  You can help me by purchasing a dozen or so for your next summer Family Reunion or for that person that is hard to shop for on Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah ;

If you have a comment, go ahead and submit and if there are no nasty words or if no particular religious group, etc, etc are offended it will be posted the next day.  I am interested in finding out my readers favorite College Football Teams.  C'mon let's make it a group project.  Everyone contributes a sentence or two.  Artie help us get started! twitter = my bad tequila

Building Credibility as a Freelancer – Tips from a Collection of Experts, World Series, Aha Toro Amigo, Tee Shirts, Tshirts, T-shirts

?Que Pasa Amigos Mios?

Just finished on my part of a booklet that will be published in a couple of months, "Building Credibility as a Freelancer - Tips from a Collection of Experts."  And guess what, yes, yes I am one of the experts so you must be very smart readers as you are paying attention to the right Blog and the MY BAD TEQUILA Blogger!  Muchas Gracias, I love ya all and hope it is reciprocal!   When it is ready for final publication, YOU, MIS AMIGOS with be the first to read about it.

Last night’s Monday Night Football Game was a great game between (the used to be aints) to the now undefeated New Orleans Saints in friendly Louisiana versus the very good playing Atlanta Falcons. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan are two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now and are both hot and on target.  It was a great match up last night and exciting football was viewed on ESPN. It will be interesting to see how long the Saints can continue on their undefeated march through the National Football League.  I'm particularly glad that the people and town of New Orleans have something to grasp and cheer for after several years of rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina.  If they make it to the Super Bowl, good on them!

Tomorrow we have the World Series continued in New York as the Yankees play host again to the Philadelphia Phillies who were able to get some bats going and win a game.  Philadelphia, you have your work cut out for you - to try and win 2 games back to back at the Stadium in New York is going to be very tough if almost improbable.  Right now the Series is Yankees 3 games & Phillys 2 games. First one to 4 wins the Series.

And now a very sore subject for me: Since Yankees are favored to win the World Series now, I'll give my sales pitch New Yorker Style: Buy some frickin Tee Shirts, t-shirts, tshirts;  I'll spell them anyway you want, just pull out your credit card and give it to me.  We've got grey tee shirts, gray tank tops, ladies or men;  What do ya need?  We've got grey sleeveless!  Ever size for everbody, that’s what I'm talkin bout!  http://shop.mybadtequila.com/ twitter = mybadtequila

Now where is that Amigo Aha Toro Tequila?

Adios Amigos Mios,

Excuses - My Philosophy, My Excuse - Football, Tee Shirts

11/2/2009

1 Comment

 
Amigos y Amigas,
Excuses are really one of two things:
1. An excuse is used when a person or persons do not want to do something, either because of laziness or they just plain do not want to do whatever the task is or was supposed to be done by that individual.



2. An excuse is used when a person has been caught and called on the carpet for having done something which was not right or for having done nothing at all.

My philosophy has three parts:

1. Individuals that consistently are having to use excuses are usually very lazy, or have poor time management skills, or are procrastinators.

2. Persons that use excuses most always believe that their reasoning or excuse for not completing or getting around to doing a chore or project is very reasonable or justifiable.

3. People that use excuses can not take full responsibility for their actions of why something did or did not happen.  There is almost always someone or something else that is to blame or share in the blame.

However, this being said, oddly enough the first part of this philosophy that I have, does not describe me. I am not lazy, am not a procrastinator nor do I have poor time management skills.

I do fall into the second and third category as I believe my excuse which is written below is completely legitimate and purely understandable and is not entirely my fault.

I have an excuse I use on Saturdays and Sundays during the Professional and College Football Season.  I can not get any writing or much of anything else done as there is always a football game that is important to view, due to the team perhaps being one of my favorite teams or being a team that I hate so much that I don't want to miss out on perhaps watching them lose.

Now that we have the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) rankings, it is even more important for me to watch the ranked teams play so that I might talk intelligently concerning the BCS rankings on why or why I do not agree with their computer system and outcome.

Too, there are so many television channels that carry each and every football game that it destroys all chances of my being able to be productive on Saturdays and Sundays.  Even if I choose not to purchase the "NFL Package," there is always a Sports Bar nearby of which will have enough flat screen television sets and a draft beer special.  So in turn, allows for any game no matter how obscure a location or however poorly performing the team, it will be televised.

This is out of my control, so in a way it is the Networks fault for having games spread throughout the entire morning, afternoon and evening.  Adding insult to injury is Monday Night Football by the NFL. Thursday and Friday evening games are now very common in the College Football arena because of the dedicated sports channels of ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN360;

Another thing out of my control is Fantasy Football has been added to my agenda. I can not say no, as my Buddies are all playing Fantasy Football and I do not want to be excluded from the crowd.  Fantasy Football is arranged in such a way that I have players from 9 different teams. If I want to know how my Fantasy Team is doing, then I need to be logged onto my computer so that I may watch all my team and my competitors' players.

Football games get in my vision's pathway.

How am I suppose to get anything done during Football Season?

OKAY, now time for all of you or at least one of you to purchase a cool skeleton pirate tee shirt with MY BAD TEQUILA website listed on the backside . http://shop.mybadtequila.com twitter: mybadtequila

Hasta Luego BABY!

New York City Marathon, Halloween Party, Scary Movies, Arizona Cardinals,

11/1/2009

?Que Pasa Compadres de MY BAD TEQUILA?

Great Halloween party last night; had fun with all the offensive costumes.  Theme of the party was dedicated to Michael Jackson RIP, and Thriller.  There was a full casket with a replica of Michael laid out peacefully with a white glove and a lower half face mask for all to pay tribute to the late King of Pop.  Inside and outside were skeletons and a freaky little Chuckie Doll sat in the corner eyeing our every move.  The night included all sorts of spirits and catered, delicious food, a bon fire and then a late night swim in the pool with grotto and then we hopped in the jacuzzi spa to warm up while looking at the stars and nearly full moon in the boo-tiful Arizona skies.  The night ended with Patron shots and/or Tequila Rose and then guests were shown to their individual rooms to spend the night at the hacienda style resort.  Muchas Gracias Amigos and Super Hosts Doug y Dana B.

Today was the start of Daylight Savings Time although we do not recognize changing our watches and clocks in the Great State of Arizona.  We however are now on Mountain Standard Time, no longer with California and the other Pacific Standard Time States.

With this change of time came the New York City Marathon of 26.22 miles of running through the streets of New York, across bridges and ending in famed Central Park.  Special recognition to a few of our Thunderbird (T-Bird) friends Kat and Arnoldo and to one of my closest friends at Thunderbird and the first person of whom I met when starting my Graduate School studies - Mr. Kurt P., congratulations on your 1st marathon and to your company ING for it's sponsorship.  Also, congratulating Oracle employees Lee, Mike, and Luis, and to Janet J.'s cousin - Justine.  Thank You from all participating marathoners to Janet J. of T-Bird who spent her day cheering and handing out water and motivational yells to all participants.  Great Day in New York was had by all including me as I felt that I was almost there, tracking my amigos mileage on the official New York Marathon website.  Sometimes I just love the new technology that we have.

Since it is the Day after Halloween, I figured it to be a good time to list the Top Ten Scariest Movies of all time according to "Scared Out of Your Wits."
1. Black Christmas - 1974; Phone calls from the killer will make your skin crawl;
2. Halloween - 1978; Who can forget Michael Myers?
3. Friday the 13th - 1980; Made look-a-like masks a staple for Halloween costumes ever since;
4. The Hills Have Eyes - 1977; OHHH, scary!
5. House of 1000 Corpses - 2003; I guess you have to see it:
6. Psycho - 1960; This is a Classic, the shower scene is critically acclaimed but one of my favorite parts is towards the end of the film with MOTHER in her chair.
7. Seven - 1994; How fitting for it's place. Remember when the emaciated guy that we think is dead starts to move?
8. Saw - 2004; The scene with the reverse bear trap!!
9. Saw II - 2005; When ........ jumps out of the bathtub!
10. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 1974; It is hard to decide the scariest part as there are many.

My all time favorite Scary Movie is "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson; RED RUM, RED RUM; "And Here's Johnny!"

Football Sunday watching the NFL had a wicked surprise for all Arizona Cardinal Fans as were eaten alive and scratched up by the Carolina Panthers in our own dome home at the University of Phoenix Stadium.  Also some football entertainment in Green Bay, Wisconsin as Bret Favre was booed in his return to the stadium as a Minnesota Vikings instead of a Green Bay Packer quarterback.  Bret shook off the boos and led his new team of Vikings to a 38 - 26 victory.  Here's one more for the old guys!!

Time to sign off and get this blog out there for you to read as it is now past 10:00pm Eastern Standard Time.  Since you're all up, why not purchase a tee shirt at http://shop.mybadtequila.com/ or follow us on Twitter at mybadtequila !
