Ok Tetsuoni, I’m in for SC, and after watching yoda do his last yr i’m thinking i want to as well. I’m sure there will be other takers. I propose we set up a mini bar in the gazebo. put up 1 extra table, my girlfriend has offered to bartend. She will make car bombs for ppl as they pass thru. we can just come up with a sign up sheet, ppl bring something, beer whiskey baileys whatever. what do you think? open to better ideas as well but will save time in T2 this way
We’ll maybe need a spotter out at the run aid station, who can ask if folks want an ICB waiting for them when they arrive back at the Pavillion.
Then, it gets radioed down to your lovely g/f, who can have them ready and waiting for faster T-times!
Given that Keegan is a long-time sponsor, it is OK if we substitute Mother’s Milk (their excellent stout) for Guinness?
Or… maybe we can also get Guinness as a co-sponsor!!! tetsuoni probably is on a first-name basis w/ the entire Guinness organization. 
Brilliant!
this is getting better by the day…i may need to switch my entry to short course
.
I’m not sure an ICB during short course qualifies. I mean…SC is the wimp’s way out of AmZof!
I fully support these efforts. However, I think we should keep this a little more unofficial, as we do not want to make it look like the RD is promoting this type of reckless behavior.
For all of the emphasis on transitions, I am proud to say I can still make and chug my own car bomb in transition in less than 2:00. If I had a bartender last year I probably could have won the whole race;)

Some AmZof historian YOU are - it was in SC that the ICB was pioneered by the visionary warrior-poet, Tri Yoda.

Last year only the short course athletes were man enough to partake. I am pretty sure I am going to intermediate course this year, so like Ernie Banks said, “Let’s drink two”

Sheesh, was I the ONLY sober one there? Yatesy had an ICB in the pavillion during LC run last year.
C’mon people, get with the friggin program already!!!
Being that I was an official witness to both ICB’s last year I can attest to when they were done. Crazy day it was.
Wouldn’t having a bartender count as outside assistance? In the very least it isn’t in the spirit of the original ICB.
If there is a bartender can I request that it be Coyote Ugly style with dancing on the bar top. I’m there working all day and watching the RD get smashed isn’t entertainment after a few hours of it.
See you all soon enough.
Outside assistance? No, it is just another (rather unique and unusual) facet of the Aid Station.
A volunteer doling out on-course, uh, nutrition.
The RD is getting smashed ON (and by) the course this year, not hanging around the TA. Assuming he doesn’t wuss out, again.
See ya in a few weeks Boots!

Hey tetsuoni… I just uploaded some unseen footage of Yoda!
“The Guinness saved me man”
that is a very scary man in that video !
“If there is a bartender can I request that it be Coyote Ugly style with dancing on the bar top.”
I REALLY don’t want to think about ML in that way. Maybe AndyPants will volunteer?
As someone who served in Northern Ireland during the late 70s and 80s, I found this post a little difficult not to get offended by. The toll on families and property caused by the ‘real’ bombs is not something to gloss over.
And before you ‘flame’ me for being prurient and precious. Take a moment to think how you would feel it the post was headed Oklahoma Bombs, or Twin Tower Bombs.
Sorry to put a damper on this, but I have been there, seen it and helped clear up the mess afterwards.
WE did not come up with the name for the beverage.
Ever had a KGB? Kahlua, Grand (Marnier), and Baileys. Yummers.
I bet a LOT more people were killed in real life by the KGB than by Irish Car Bombs, but I digress.
BTW - Sex on the Beach is a much better drink than an activity. Sand gets everywhere (and it’s like sandpaper).
You must be a real hoot to hang out at a bar with.
We didn’t name the drink and don’t mean any offense by it. I wasn’t there but I’m as Irish as they come. I just got sunburned opening up my laptop it was so bright. Red hair, freckles, pale skin I’ve got it all
Agreed on the Sex on the Beach. Sand in places you never wanted sand. Its the same as any trip to the beach, you are left finding sand for the next few days.
Ouch! Boots, that hurt my feelings.
With you and Tom Ganz running things so smoothly last year, I admit I succumbed to the temptation of that fine Keegans close at hand.
Not to worry, I’ll be out on the long course for a shade under 7:00:00 this year.
I don’t drink liquor, so no Irish car bombs for me. I’ll not presume to dictate their procedures or ingredients.
AmZof is a grass roots event. There was no Powerman Zofingen-like event in America, and I wanted one, so I created it.
Likewise, Yoda created a lovely ritual and unique challenge, and Yatesy took the ball and ran with it. Growing organically, P-John has envisioned further enhancement.
I think the AmZof ICB is a brilliant stupid human trick. However, as RD I will insist that whoever does more than 2 ICBs better have a designated driver. Designated joggers are NOT permitted! You drink it, you bought it. You still gotta run.
I’m sure one ICB in T2 will be sweated out during 1 loop of the run but of course a DD will be there for me. More so just from the effects of the race not so much the beer.
Just wanted to make sure you would be ok with a station in the gazebo for said stupid human tricks. doesnt even have to be a table, prob wont be, prob just be our cooler and thats that.
and since you dont drink liquor, let me know what drink of choice you would like as you pass thru for 3 long loops of the run and i will have it there for you
