The Hotmess Olympic Hangover

By now we have all drank the Olympic Kool Aid.

And we have realized that although you may have won a gold medal in drunk cartwheeling, the hangover rhythm is gonna get you...



Olympic sized hangovers require equally Olympic sized solutions!!!

Here are some of my tested favorites:

1. Pedialyte: This is a better option to Gatorade, yup it’s for babies with diarrhea. It has more electrolytes than Gatorade, so it hydrates quicker.

2. Lemon: Puerto Rican's swear by rubbing lemon on armpits as a way to avoid a hangover. The idea is that the lemon prevents sweating, thus helping the body to retain fluid and voila no headaches. I say put one in the double Ceasar you will need 5 minutes after this doesn't work.

3. Grease: Hit up the German or Swiss houses for some schnitzel or cheese. Grease is your friend but in my experience I'd rather go to sleep with a belly of Fritz than try to go looking for it in the morning.

4. Crappy TLC reality show: These won't help your spins but it will make you feel less embarrassed about anything you did the night before. There is no way you can top these people...and they are sober. I think?

5. Coca-Cola: I don't really like pop but this move may save lives for up to 20 minutes. Fizz for the stomach, liquid for the dehydration, and a caffeine/sugar hit to perk you up. Buuuuuut this is very short lived as the consequent crash is going to make matters even worse.


My goal is simple; for everyone to have the same Olympic spirit to persevere as this woman.

The 2016 Host of the Olympics is...

It's official... Minutes ago history was made! Rio De Janeiro, Brazil was chosen to host the summer 2016 olympic and Paralympic games! Rio De Janeiro is the first South American country to ever host the games. The other countries shortlisted were Madrid, Tokyo, Rio, and Chicago. Chicago seems to be taking it hard (which is where President Obama is from)... WHY?!?! In my opinion Chicago should be happy they avoided the craziness... People don't seem to realize that profit is rarely made for cities hosting the olympics and the citizens are stuck paying these ridiculous expenses for years!

I don't get the hype...

For those who care here's the official OLYMPICS web site

I'll tell you where you can shove your pole vault....

Are the 2010 Vancouver Olympics still happening? Are you kidding me?!?! WHY? What the Laura Secord is going on here?!?!!?

In a time of economic downturn, when bankruptcy and job loss are rampant isn't it shocking that we are still going ahead with the Olympics?

Typically they cost millions of dollars and the hosting city ends up paying the price for years to come.

There are few exceptions and despite claims from certain cities some experts say that NO Olympic Games have made a profit in modern times.

Check the cost!

MONTREAL, 1976: Debt:>1 billion (globe and mail; abcnews.com)
LAKE PLACID, 1980: Debt: $11 million
CALGARY, 1988: Debt: $910 million (they claim a profit)
BARCELONA, 1992: Debt: US$1.4 billion
SYDNEY, 2000: Games billed as self-financing by politicians were a $2.3-billion loss (Auditor General New South Wales Report on Sydney (2000) Olympics)

The Beijing Olympics were the most expensive ever costing around $43 billion.

This is absolute insanity! We all know that money spent on ANY Olympics would be better spent in about a million different ways.

If it's really that important for amateur athletes to win medals they can come do hurdles over crack pipes and heroin needles in my back alley. Whoever doesn't land on drug paraphernalia gets a chocolate coin wrapped in gold tin foil.

If you want to know who has the right idea about the Olympics check with Prague. They're pulling out of the bid for the 2020 games because they know it would cost too much money! Money that no one has right now. Money that should go to making sure we have a social and economic future, not building an Olympic Center so your sister can become an expert on the uneven bars!

Prague are realists.
