Continuing this trying to get a life malarkey, I’ve decided to look into this religion thing that people like to visit Saturday mornings to look at my projector and forget what they came round for. Now your thinking “Oh no, Owens going to upset people here, its going to get all political and slightly messy”, well, im not making any promises but it shouldn’t be. I have after some extensive research decided on which god I am going to worship, and his name is Andre the giant, you know the HUGE wrestling superstar from the 70’s and 80’s see him in action here here but that’s not why he should be worshiped, I haven’t got a thing about fat people in spandex or oiled muscle men (but anyone beating the crap out of the hulkster is a good bloke in my book) It was this article I read in Modern Drunkard Magazine as you know I’m not one to say no to a beer or 5 (see anything about going out with modaco), the exact number of beers per geek at a modaco event is currently a trade secret between Microsoft and Orange but its something like 300 beers for the afternoon between the 40 or so people who turn up. But this puts even a room full of drunken geeks to shame You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture.
That’s a beer every 3 minutes, I know it was probably budwater, and its only 330ml bottles but it’s a lot of drinking to be doing, so if you want to join my new religion send your membership fee to me, and you can worship Andre daily between 11 and 11 at your local hall of worship (that’s a pub) -->
