Setting The Line - Beer Drinker’s Marathon pt. 2
Thursday, March 15th, 2007
The Beer Drinker’s Marathon has finally become one of the premier sporting events in the world. The chicks in bikinis with signs are probably next. What makes it such a spectacle, you may ask? There’s finally a betting line.
Bettors beware: a confidential source tells us that Eric Warner has been putting a little bit of pine tar on his running shoes before practicing lately. Better grip allows for better traction, especially for those in their 40s. Not to worry, though; We’ve hired the same officials from Game 2 of the World Series to officiate the Beer Drinker’s Marathon.
Rippe supporters will be cheering him on by having a Carbone’s #2 at the finish line. Sadly, their cheers will be muted somewhat by the Cappicola.
Ralph Steadman Wall Art 01

Beer Drinker’s Marathon - The Actual Race
Thursday, March 15th, 2007
The moment you’ve all been waiting for - The finale to the first-ever Beer Drinker’s Marathon. We know that everyone really wants to see a race between two out-of-shape contestants, but trust us: there’s more to a race than the actual racing. Warming up in camouflage pants, blocking off major downtown thoroughfares with a Winnebago, and wonderful signs. And don’t forget beer (never forget beer).
It should be noted that neither of the two racers had anything to drink before the race, but we’re willing to bet a bottle of Wild Dog that the loser drank himself to sleep right after the all-employee meeting that followed.

Flying Dog Beer Drinker’s Marathon - Part 1
Thursday, March 15th, 2007
Marathons are long and boring. Who actually watches the whole thing? We certainly don’t. At Flying Dog, we’ve devised the perfect made-for-tv running event: Take the best .26% of a marathon, also known as the end, and just run that part. All of the excitement, and you don’t even need to skip through the fucking commercials.

Thursday, March 15th, 2007
Flying Dog CEO Eric Warner is interviewed in anticipation of the first-ever Beer Drinker’s Marathon, taking place October 30, 2006. Well, he’s basically shit talking. Barely more subtle than Mike Tyson and more slick than Don King, Eric is the class of this operation. We’ll chalk his slickness up to the life experience advantage (read: oldness).

Ralph Steadman recently spent time in Denver on an international book tour.

Remember when Flying Dog marketing biatch Chris Rippe beat brewery pres. Eric Warner in a footrace last fall? His prize: President for a Day. Now Rippe assumes the role…and the tables are turned. Eric finds he’s the brew-lackey and Neal gets a dirty job; meanwhile, the President goes golfing.
