Big Al’s Blog: Turtles, naked cowboys and chicken poop

The first night of Turtle Racing went pretty well. Sure it poured down rain in the hours leading up to race time…just a minor rain delay since this event was outside. So, How did I get this brilliant idea to have Turtles “Race” on my patio? From a customer. A drunk dude just walked up to me and asked me if I had ever thought about doing Turtle racing? No, I had never even heard of turtle racing but it sounded like something fun and cool. So I went to the pet store and got a 125 gallon aquarium, then I got a bunch of rocks to put inside, and put water in it and voila. I had a turtle habitat. Oh yea, I bought 5 turtles…then to start the race, I roll out my 16’ X 16” turtle racing mat. Put all of the turtles in the middle and let ‘em go. Some go immediately, some have to wait for a while. 3 people even brought their own turtles. 2 of them were black chicks. I never knew sisters were fans of turtles.

Tonight will be the true test. The Naked Cowboy auditions are happening again tonight and last week, it didn’t go so well. No one showed up for it last week but after everything that naked-cowboy2had been going on, I really didn’t get a chance to promote it like I should have…think positive… tonight will be great! I actually have had a few emails from people saying that they would be there to try out for this one. and why wouldn’t you? this could make a person Thousands of dollars. No, you don’t have to be naked. In fact, completely naked is not allowed. Guys need to have on underwear and girls need to wear a bikini or swimsuit. Google naked cowboy to find out what the real guy wears when he plays the guitar. The prize is a Naked Cowboy Franchise. You can make money doing business and making appearances as the Naked Cowboy, just like the dude in New York. And the winner also wins a trip to New York to play along side the REAL Naked Cowboy.  Please keep your fingers crossed for me on this very cool and unusual promotion. Kidd would love the chance to give me a hard time about this crazy idea.

Another idea that I had never heard of was presented to me yesterday. I don’t really think I could do this but it sure is funny. Chicken Bingo. You write numbers on a big piece of paper then you feed the chicken. When he poops on a number, that’s the number that you call out in bingo. Can you believe that 2 separate people actually told me about that idea on the same day? Like I said, I don’t really think I can put a chicken coupe in the back of my bar but it is a funny visual.
