DAN MCCARNEY: RELYING ON VODKA THERAPY, IS AWESOME

Dan McCarney is a remarkable individual. He won football games at Iowa State, one of college football's most quixotic and rare vocations. He coached defensive line well at Florida despite taking a position coaching job after being fired from Iowa State. He once moved to Denton, Texas voluntarily, a feat few others have elected to do with all their faculties intact.
He also, you know, just survived a stroke he had while eating a sandwich after his Sunday morning workout, and is shaking it off like a minor cold or something. Currently the head coach at North Texas, McCarney felt his whole left side of his body go numb, and then thought what you should think and think quickly in a stroke situation: "I should get to the hospital."
McCarney is expected to make a full recovery with the help of his doctors and his own self-prescribed therapy.
"Nothing wrong with me that a little Grey Goose won’t cure."
DAN MCCARNEY IS SO HOOD. Best of luck to Coach Awesome in his recovery, and Gray Gooses all around.

When Tito's first came to my area
They were selling it for only $20/handle as a way of getting the word out about it. Imagine my sadness when I returned for my senior year to see the price had risen to $30/handle.

That sure was fun.
I just took my Mrs. OHokie in for an EGD. They called me in, showed me some scary looking pictures, and said they found a growth in her stomach they needed to biopsy.
That’s when I noticed the name & age listed on the paperwork wasn’t hers.
You can't piss on hospitality!
Woo modern medicine!
You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your wife’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that she is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.
Seriously, hope all is well.

She's fine.
Some kind of hypertrophy in her stomach they think won’t be a problem.

wow, I'm not even a vodka guy (#teamginmartinis)
BUT that post makes me really want to down an ice cold three fingers of Russian water in solidarity with coach on this one, well, maybe it’s the thought of going to Successions in ten minutes that makes me want the drink but who knows?
all I ask is for the chance to prove that money can't buy happiness
If it's got vodka, it's not a martini,
It’s a vodka martini.

My mother yelled at me when she found a bottle of Aristocrat vodka I bought in college in my room at our old house. She wasn’t pissed at me for drinking (I was 23), but she was pissed that I at any time had cheap-ass vodka. As she put it, “I raised you better than for you to drink that shit.”
My dad was the exact opposite
This was the booze he brought for pregame early-morning screwdrivers parents’ weekend when I was a frosh or soph.
Except he brought a handle of it, so we got the bonus leaching plastic flavor.

They never settled on a name
but the top 3 contenders, after weeks of debate, were Satan’s Fingers, The Killers, and the Hospital Bombers.

You have to put it on the internet somewhere.
Then, find the link to that webpage. You tried to link it off of your home computer, which is why you got that string of folders
