Proper Preparation for Infine-Yawn
Dude, it’s a weekend that is probably only synonymous with seeing Rammstein live at the gates of hell. I mean, it’s freaking Snorenoma!
This race can only compare with Indianapolis in terms of the magnitude of the underlying myth and mystery associated with it. The bloggosphere has been ablaze this week in anticipation. Roy Boy over at the Silent Pagoda has been prepping for it all week, providing some various internet content to enhance your experience.
Much like Indianapolis, there’s a lot of preparation that goes into getting ready for Sonoma:
First, there’s the appropriate outfit. At the Kentucky Derby, the ladies wear goofy hats. At the Indianapolis 500, Sandy Andretti wears goofy hats. Here, the Bronze Butterfly shows off the proper hat for Infine-yawn.
It is commonplace for these hats to extend beyond the live crowd of Northern California into your very home. You don’t want to catch a head cold (props to Mr. Dog for the picture).
From night cap to night cap. Alcohol and race viewing go hand in hand. Mr. Dog is known for enhancing his viewing experience with the beer of the race. Well, let’s consider our options here…
Probably the best known Belgian Ale. It’s a delicious classic. It also has a high alcohol content, which is definitely a positive for this race. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend a foreign beer for an IndyCar race. It might go well with the European Grand Prix and eggs, though. Yeah, I know the Belgium GP is next week, but I’d consider that more of a Chimay race.
I mean, yeah it’s delicious. Heck, it might be the most delicious beer out of this county. I don’t know that this beer from Fort Collins, CO really gets the point across.
If it were Riverside, I’d recommend my buddy’s brewery, but alas, it’s too far away.
PBR might be a good choice. It’s cheap. It’s smooth. It can be consumed in massive quantities to the point that you might be so loaded that the race will come across as entertaining. Then again, I don’t think that this is the right selection.
It is wine country, but I don’t know that I could honestly recommend dropping money on a good bottle of wine…
I feel like we’re close here. Mad Dog is cheap and readily available at your nearest crappy gas station. I just don’t know that it is right, though…
Perfect! It fits the motif, and with a splash of soda, it’ll hit the spot!
Really, all you need now is a comfortable couch. I don’t recommend a love seat, unless you’re under five foot, because even if you begin the racing sitting upright, you’re likely going to end up lying down.
You’re now ready for Infine-Yawn.

Maybe some “DRANK” mixed with that nyquil is the solution

During the qualifying, DirectTV had a feed on the bottom of the screen saying that they may no longer be carrying Versus after August 31 because they haven’t reached an agreement with them.

Nice. Love the Bronze Butterfly. Since 98% of the ICS is foreign, I have no problem with a foreign beer of the race. Speaking of, better get to the store …
