Viva Espana!

This is just hilarious, as long as you’re not a bank-robbing hostage-taking dopehead who wants a motorcycle for a getaway, covered by live teevee:
Let off the brake a little late there, eh, Sergio? Go ahead and take the rest of the night off…we’ll handle the paperwork for you.
More from Ace…

Reminds me of that old video we used to watch at the Video Room. They used the clip from Road Warrior with some dude doing flips in slow motion. DO DO DO DODE DO DO You can dance if you want to….

Ripped his jacket right off, and he didn’t seem to be going that fast, either.

Mary Lou Retton stuck the landing a lot better then that guy.

Alicante, Spain, where this incident took place, is the home of El Seque, a rich black wine made from the monastrell grape, which is known in France as mourvedre. El Seque is one of my favorite wines. I’ve got a couple of cases from various vintages down in the basement. Seeing the video here on your website reminds me that I should open a bottle right now and drink it.
Thanks. You’ve enriched my life.

And, now maybe after reading a little further down the comments, I think I’d like to pint out that I don’t know what, if anything, Mary Lou Retton stuck, but after a few glasses of excellent monastrell I feel a little bit like sticking a gymnast myself.

It occurs to me that you generally don’t go for that kind of humor on your blog. So, if it’s helpful, let me just say that I’m a middle aged man and there is absolutely no chance that I would ever be able to catch a gymnast for sticking, even if that were my intent. Which it isn’t. Unless you know one who’s desperate.

Man, this wine is going down fast. Not like that Mary Lou Retton.

Oops! Did it again. Sorry.

Tom, sir, your risque Continental witticisms are always welcome here. I go for all kinds of humor, even the kind that would shock my mama if she read it. Don’t be putting it off on me that such is not the case.
And for what it’s worth, if you really drank a whole bottle of Spaniard wine in 12 minutes…I’m buying the first couple of bottles if you ever make it to the Cradle of Texas Liberty, because that’s fucking Shriner-level boozing. To a man who buys Lone Star Light for economy, I’m impressed.
But I still want some ’shine bourbon. Bring it, please.
