Let’s Get Weird: Cinco de Mayo
It’s Friday, it’s Cinco de Mayo, and alcohol is readily available in the United States of America, so let’s get weird.
The proper way to make a margarita comes from a surprising source. From Producer Micah’s Making A Real Margarita Is As Easy As 3-2-1:
3 parts tequila, 2 parts lime juice, 1 part citrus (traditionally orange) liqueur. No simple syrup, no everclear, no fucking neon green pre-made mix from a plastic bottle. Nothing but 3-2-1.
Salted rim, over ice. I fully endorse this method. It’s THE way to make a margarita and don’t let anyone tell you differently.
“The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports” is this weekend. J-Bone is going. Now that the Masters has been crossed off my bucket list, I have my sights set on the Kentucky Derby. I have to go soon and I might even wear a bow tie since it’s the only setting a grown adult man should be allowed to wear one.
If you guys aren’t getting our newsletter, TFM Daily Minutes, I suggest giving it a try. It’s a great snapshot of the prior day’s content. I’m putting it together myself. I’m adding a couple quick summaries of the day’s news stories, Babe of the Day, pictures and videos from our Instagram feed, and links to our podcasts.
What are we getting into this weekend?
Hey Dorno, when are we playing some golf?
8 years ago at 2:37 pmI’m down to play
8 years ago at 2:39 pmJust lobbing one over the plate for us, eh Dorno?
8 years ago at 2:44 pmI’ll shoot you an email. I’ll bring some pop rocks to throw during your back swing.
8 years ago at 2:49 pmWell shit, what is your email?
8 years ago at 3:10 pmdillon@grandex.co
8 years ago at 3:18 pmDo you get many dick pics? From adults, I mean.
8 years ago at 4:33 pmWe should do a grandex tournament at falconhead. Raffle off RG stuff. Yeti stuff. Get drunk and drop bombs on the #3 fairway
8 years ago at 3:24 pmI’d come down to Austin for this.
8 years ago at 9:35 pmThis is actually a great idea
8 years ago at 12:39 amI’d be down.
8 years ago at 8:44 am@bach he emailed me back. I brought up your idea in my reply. A TFM staff and commenter scramble would be cool.
8 years ago at 1:38 pmWhat courses were y’all thinking?
8 years ago at 7:42 amBach mentioned Falconhead which looks pretty nice. I really have no idea about any of the courses around that area since I’ve only been to Austin for a bachelor party and a Longhorn football camp when I was like in 7th grade.
8 years ago at 4:44 pmDid you get an offer?
8 years ago at 10:00 pmDorno hasn’t emailed me back. It seems like a lot of the TFM commenters are located here in Texas, so it would be pretty badass to have a golf scramble.
8 years ago at 11:48 pmCan I come as well? I know Dorn wants to suck my dick but I’m usually busy as hell.
8 years ago at 8:46 amI personally still find Betty White attractive and would do her.
8 years ago at 2:39 pmAlso Mamie Van Doren is on my bucket list.
8 years ago at 7:39 pmAnd Nancy Sinatra.
8 years ago at 8:36 pmEasy, bud.
8 years ago at 8:48 amWhat can be done about the BOTD comment section something needs to happen asap?
8 years ago at 2:42 pmNo it doesn’t
8 years ago at 2:43 pmWRONG, FAKE NEWS!
8 years ago at 2:44 pmHow disappointing. Tough to herald the content of this site as FAF when you do shit like this and come off looking like a bunch of pussy GDIs.
8 years ago at 3:06 pmHow else will she know I would let a midget hit me in the nuts with a wiffle ball bat to lick the leg curl machine at the gym after she is done using it?
8 years ago at 3:31 pmLooks like ya won that one Dorn.
8 years ago at 3:58 pmDorn you are gay
8 years ago at 8:21 pmTrying to get into the watch game, any not overly expensive suggestions
8 years ago at 2:49 pmBut only if the price is right!
8 years ago at 2:51 pmSundial?
8 years ago at 2:58 pmCan’t go wrong with Citizen. Durable, decently priced and most of them look good.
8 years ago at 2:58 pmNixon’s leather sentry chronograph is decently priced and has some class. Seriously water resistant too.
8 years ago at 4:54 pmI’ll forewarn you I wouldn’t buy anything Nixon is selling.
8 years ago at 5:03 pmLow end Movado. Around 350-500. No one will know it’s low end and they are known to be pretty nice. Usually the 800-1300 range
8 years ago at 6:20 pmI’ll just copy/paste from a few days. Movado was a good answer, too.
8 years ago at 8:48 am“Just start with Citizen. Sharp, clean, good quality for price, and eco-drive is cool. And it’s an accessory a college student can afford. They don’t look cheap, yet don’t exude “spoiled shitbag” at your interview.”
Av8 are pretty good watches and look a little like Bell & Ross. Tissot has some nice watches below the $1k mark. Shinola, american made and look very good. Nixon, makes gaudy watches but they also make some simple subtle watches.
8 years ago at 12:51 ambut if you have a trust fund: jaeger le coultre, luminor panerai, Patek Phillipe, richard mille
8 years ago at 12:57 amGet a Tag. 600+. Comfortable, durable, goes with anything.
8 years ago at 8:41 amI’m attending an alumni event featuring the entirety of the nationals heads at which I am hoping to recruit a crew to engage in drunken tomfoolery later tonight, likely to their chagrin.
8 years ago at 2:59 pmYeah wow dude
8 years ago at 9:52 amOverrated/Underrated/Properly Rated
Playing video games as an adult
8 years ago at 3:00 pmHummus
Desert boots
Ivanka Trump
Bowling
Ivanka is unbelievably hot but I’m against pretty much everything she stands for politically. So that’s a tough call.
8 years ago at 3:02 pmMake Ivanka babe of the day. TFM.
8 years ago at 11:16 pmBowling drunk is very underrated.
8 years ago at 3:06 pmVideo Games as an adult: underated. Video games are just like books except you control the main character and studies show that the dopamine and oxytocin released when completing a challenge in a game you’ve been playing are excellent ways to help combat depression. Also, and totally unrelated to all of that above, you can turn them into drinking games.
Hummus: depends. Store brand, pre packaged hummus is severely overrated but there’s this beautiful Arab fishing village in the south of Israel that had hummus so good I’m confident it could end the conflict in the Middle East if they could mass market it.
Desert boots: overrated in my opinion but that’s just because I don’t like the shape. Also my first thought when seeing them was “these would be useless in the desert” and I’ve never really recovered from that.
Ivanka Trump: jury is still out. Yes she’s hot and yes she’s pretty smart but it’s hard to say if someone is overrated or underrated when it’s nearly impossible to find an unbiased opinion on them in the first place.
Bowling: this exclusively depends on if the bar at the alley has good wings and fries.
8 years ago at 3:16 pmYou gotta take into account that desert boots were originally designed to be worn in the desert by british forces in ww2 though.
8 years ago at 4:52 pmThat was the “these would be useless in the desert” comment. They just don’t look like they’d help in the desert.
8 years ago at 5:28 pmWings and bowling gets weird real quick
8 years ago at 7:01 pmThat just means your bowling alley has shit wings. Pun kind of intended.
8 years ago at 11:36 pmIm gonna say desert boots are overrated, because the subtle differences between chukkas and deserts help identify the discerning men who select the clearly superior chukkas. Also, knowing when to use ‘desert’ and ‘dessert’ is bullshit and Im not about it.
8 years ago at 10:24 pmHummus: overrated
8 years ago at 6:37 amPlaying video games as an adult: probably underrated though I’ve never done it
Desert boots: underrated
Ivanka Trump: underrated. She’s got it going on.
Bowling: drunk, underrated; sober, overrated.
Ivanka is hot as hell but video games as an adult are tight
8 years ago at 8:22 pmAnyone have any good plans for the Derby tomorrow?
8 years ago at 3:00 pmDrink
8 years ago at 3:06 pmI’ll be in the infield of Churchill Downs tomorrow, maybe I’ll run into J-Bone. Let’s go Gunnevera.
8 years ago at 3:03 pmI have my money on him as well. Also doing a quinella on Always Dreaming and Thunder Snow
8 years ago at 5:52 pmHere in Athens, our “topless only” strip club shows the snatch on Cinco. Great day to be a dawg
8 years ago at 3:06 pmGood ole toppers.
8 years ago at 4:51 pmThey do that in Canada year round
8 years ago at 6:44 pmAha Quebec, such a magical place
8 years ago at 8:10 pmShouldn’t have gotten lapped, Montreal is FAF
8 years ago at 10:21 pmCan confirm. Montreal’s a beaut.
8 years ago at 11:34 pmMontreals FAF, Canada is inherently NF
8 years ago at 1:33 pmThanks for your two cents
8 years ago at 5:14 pmI’m sure that Montreal is a fine place, but do not ever compare a Canada to Athens, Georgia again. Athens is God’s country.
8 years ago at 8:22 amI saw a good throwback jersey thread last week and thought I’d add a couple:
Bill Laimbeer
8 years ago at 3:18 pmClyde Drexler
Reggie Miller
Detlef Schrempf
Ray Allen-Sonics
8 years ago at 4:07 pmVlad Guerrero-Expos
Mike Eruzione
8 years ago at 5:34 pmPaul Henderson
8 years ago at 11:35 pmRickey Henderson
