What’s going on this weekend that will offer potential douchbaggery?
Glad you asked! Sounds like the crew will be getting together for the triple Bs: Booze, Bags, and BBQ on Saturday night. Get your cameras out and ready.
It was decided this weekend that my group of friends and I were going to do a little team bonding. In an effort to bring everyone closer, we are starting the Douchebag of the Week Award.
Here are the Rules:
1. Nominations must be received on Monday by 5:30pm. Anyone can submit nominations.
2. Nominations MUST HAVE photographic evidence. (This week we allowed Jerry as a Baseball card to be submitted without a photo due to work travel arrangements and timing.)
3. One vote / person. I’ve set it up this way and I will know if you are “stuffing the ballot”.
4. Polls close at 9pm on Thursday, douchebag of the week will be announced on Friday morning.
5. Anyone can vote – in fact we encourage those that don’t know us personally to vote.
*Disclaimer: This is not an Ali calls people out for being a douchebag game. Nominations were made throughout this weekend. This is a collective game and does not reflected the personal “opinions” of this blog.
This week’s nominees:
Julia and Justin as the douchebag couple who wears matching shirts (non-Cubs) to a Sunday evening Cubs/Cardinals bleacher game.
DBOTW - Justin/Julia Matching Shirts
Ali as the douchebag drinking a fruity drank who mainly hangs out with boys, acts like a boy, and thus should have to follow the social rules of a boy. Furthermore, she wore a Soto shirt with a marijuana leaf on it which can be considered “anti-Cubs”.
DBOTW - Ali Fruity Drank Drinking Soto Pot Shirt Wearing
Justin as the douchebag that doesn’t wear ANY Cubs apparel when he probably has more Cubs gear than the entire group combined. Also – Justin as a douchebag for nominating Ali for above DBOTW contender.

Jerry as the douchebag who got a baseball trading card made out of his face.

Costa as the douchebag who wears the Cubs promo giveaway hat in a flamboyant fashion multiple occasions throughout the night. *Note this is from the weekend of 7/4.

Julia as the douchebag who tries to play “drums” with the Bucket Boys.

Justin and Julia as the douchebags that subjected their friends to gratuitous PDAs throughout the weekend.

Lastly – My own mother received 2 individually sized apple pies on Mother’s Day! Great work, loyal readers, great work! I, in predictable fashion, got stoned and ate one before returning to Lincoln Park at the close of our Mother’s Day celebration. Whoops.
Dr. Pepper just got better – no vanilla bullshit, no berries and cream shiznez, no pomegranate yuckiness – MOTHER FUCKIN’ CHERRY!
Just got to try out the new Cherry Dr. Pepper (non diet) last night and wow was I impressed. It’s way tasty and my new favorite sweet pop (amongst the ranks of Fanta or Sunkist Orange, Barq’s Root Beer, and fountain Coca Cola). Not an everyday beverage as there are 110 calories and 28 grams of sugar per can, but a pleasing treat to look forward to this summer. The cherry flavoring does a really great job of calming that bubbly, harsh taste of Dr. Pepper. Not to sound market-y or generic, but it goes down quite smooth!
Dr. Pepper is generally not served at bars so there aren’t a lot of drink recipes out there and not one specifically for Cherry Dr. Pepper. In general they suggest mixing DP with such liquors as brandy, whiskey, and amaretto (a definite ew for our purposes); I think both the brandy or whiskey could be great and you’d just have to add a splash of grenadine if the drank got too strong! Yum! Let me know if you think of anything that will alcoholically enhance this new favorite soda pop.
Gene Simmons is the spokesperson for the new flavor launch because Cherry Dr. Pepper offers just a KISS of cherry to your watering mouth.
Here’s the commercial:
Here’s what I would look like if I were asked to be the KISS spokesperson for Cherry Dr. Pepper (wildly less effective than Mr. Simmons):
