Jamaican Bobsled

Like this, but with rum

The Pedersen family: innovators in the exciting new field of conceptual drinking. Since New Year’s Eve we’ve been experimenting with event-based drinks: The Mexican Firedrill (everyone does a shot of tequila and runs around the block), The Kentucky Derby (the same, but with bourbon), The Russian Relay Race (the same, but with vodka, and turn-based). You might see a theme.

Last night we continued research and broke new ground with possibly our best drink yet. The Jamaican Bobsled consists taking a shot of rum, running down and then back up a flight of stairs (or vice versa), and then tagging the next person who then repeats the process. It is a race and there are only winners with this game.

Actually, pretty much EXACTLY like this

No disrespect meant, but their designer needs to work on his icons more, I have no idea what those silhouettes are doing

Yup, this is my neighborhood. Apparently “Mitzvah Tanks” are common (at least according to whomever wrote the Wikipedia entry), but this is the first one I’ve ever seen. Seeing this R.V. drive down an extremely Caribbean stretch of Nostrand Ave gave me my fill of culture shock for the day.  Brooklyn rules!

In case it’s not clear, the poster toward the front of the RV is of the Lubavitch messiah, who’s headquarters is about half a mile from me. You have most likely seen his flyers on the subway at some point. This brings me to another point: This messiah guy has been DEAD for over fourteen years.  What! I just found this out, and honestly, felt a little cheated.  But maybe that’s HOW he became messiah?  I don’t really know how this stuff works, I gotta do some research.  I will fill you in!
