The Running Of The Porta Potties At The Preakness, A Tradition Unlike Any Other

I haven't been to the Preakness in almost 10 years now, but I have to post this blog every year because it reminds me of simpler times, earlier days. The time of youth, carefree living, America, freedom, and beer.

Historians will look back and say that the Running of the Porta Potties make America what it is. And today is the big day, the Preakness, when drunk kids from the Northeast get inebriated beyond all belief at Pimlico.

I suggest going to Preakness exactly once. The Preakness is the red headed step child of the Triple Crown. If the official drink of the Kentucky Derby was a fine wine, the official drink of the Preakness would be Natty Light. For years Preakness was BYOB..which translated to “fill up wagons and shopping carts with as many 30 packs as possible and we trust you won’t drive home”. Apparently things didn’t work out, because now it’s just “all you can drink” instead of BYOB, a very obvious solution!

Today looks disgusting, which is pretty much how it always ends up there- either 100 degrees and everyone is passing out, or insanely muddy and everyone is absolutely disgusting by the 2nd hour...

....exactly how it's supposed to be.

If you're going, don't forget to mix in a water and for the love of god do not take a poop in one of those porta potties.

Happy Summer, everyone!
