Please don’t get alcohol poisoning trying to win LOTW. The Brewers would like to encourage you to drink responsibly! Robert, Deceptacles (Sunday) Here is the nomination email from the Lush himself: “Sunday started just like any other morning after a night of heavy drinking till 4 in the morning with a craving for a beer. Then I decided to head to brunch with Ben and take part in the bottemless mimosas, but before leaving the door I shotgunned two more beers. So after about 10 refills, we are informed that they are ending the bottomless mimosa deal, which really didn’t matter since my game was starting in like 5 minutes anyway. Eventually I made it to the exchange where I started to play flip cup and that is where it starts to get a little blurry. The next thing I know I am jumping out of the taxi, and I notice that I am missing my jeans that I was wearing at the exchange. Not only did I lose my jeans, but also my phone, my ID, and my iPod. The only thing I had was my credit card, my bag, and a pounding head. So the next morning I have to call into work sick because my body refused to get up and I started my search on the web of what the fuck did I do last night. I haven’t found out much except I tried to get into Erin B.’s car when she tried to pick up Bobby and somehow I got into a argument with him that night, too. Other than that I don’t have much except common consensus was I was just a drunk mess but no different from any other weekend and still no sign of my pants.” There you have it. While the Brew worries that we may one day find Robert in a ditch with dogs eating his face, we can at least say we knew him back when he was LOTW!

I had nothing better to do and realized this was a drinking club legitimized by kickball. 2. If you had to love someone of the same sex, who would it be? Chuck Norris.
