Beyond the Oyster Juice

 Did you see this early gift that a dad in California received?

 

13-year-old runs up $21,917 cell phone bill

 

My favorite part?

"he was expecting his bill to be higher when he got his 13-year-old a cell phone and added him to his Verizon Wireless plan . . . he was shocked when he got his bill for: $21,917".

Mad Gringo is shocked that I don't have anything around here for $21,917. . . but I do have this comic:

 

Omahahu based Warren Buffett owns Dairy Queen, you know.

Speaking of cold, just in time for the Holidays:

 

Mad Gringo Perfect Beach Nap Cap, a.k.a Mad Gringo's Basic Beach Golf Cap, a.k.a the Mad Gringo Golf Cap etc. etc. etc.

 

Anyway, the Perfect Beach Nap Cap is on sale for $8.

I have a drawing on the website, but here's a pic from the Dungeon:

 

And it says "Go Slow" on the back:

 

I know, I know. Those are some of the worst pictures ever. Someday I'll catch up and get real pics on the website. I'll have to trade some guy a blender drink for photoshop work.  You know how it is.

 

Bottom line, the hats are on sale and make perfect gifts. 

 

Reminds me: FREE shipping (UPS ground) through Friday at 5pm CST. Don't forget.

 

Go slow.

Dirt under my nails

Greetings!

 

Dirt under my nails sounds like I've been working, but you know better.

 

The dirt I'm referring to here is from efforts to get the website to be nice to you all for holiday gift giving ease. I apologize for any snafus that have occurred to this point. You knew we'd be a little difficult but that was all supposed to be in fun.

 

Here's the latest dress me up of Mad Gim. First, it's the Excavation.



Doesn't look like much, but buyer beware. I've seen this one in action.

 

Hanging out in Vegas waiting for our table to open up. Mad Robin started dumping on Mad Roy about his non-Mad Gringo shirt. Flash forward: sitting at the table and I see Roy wearing the Excavation. Seems that a shirt switch was made in the hallway. Flash forward again to Roy in a tight black women's tshirt and the Excavation is on some wild woman from Montana. Spin the wheel and the shirt has lept to a buxom blonde who was wildly gyrating in front of an elvis impersonator trying to karaoke.

 

I melted into the crowd at that point. The "let's switch shirts" game was attracting the attention of the management.

 

I blame it on the shirt. The little pineapple skull and crossbones in the pattern. The browns, the blues, the yellows. Goes great with denim. Or with Khaki shorts. Take a peek:

 

 

(I tried doing the virtual dressing of Gim again, but it was easier to take a quick photo of Headless Manny)

 

That's the gift package I want to put together. In a time of year dominated by white, red and green Mr. H. Manny turns a few heads in shades of brown and gold. Especially here in on the Big Island of Omahahu, where we had a lot of snow this week in addition to the wicked cold. The Slow Rover was a victim. 

 

 

 

Needless to say, my inner mad gringo is ready to head south. Early January. Palm Beach, FL. 

 

Reminds me, there is one more week of FREE ups ground shipping for you to take advantage of.

Jump in.

 

That picture of the truck in snow is a horrible image to leave you with. Sorry about that. Here's a pic from Mad Eric and Mad Ilise in Cambodia. Notice Eric's Logo Tshirt. Mad Gringo is worldwide.

 

 

Go slow.

(PS: Become our fan on Facebook. I want to get to 1000 fans so I can get a vanity URL.)

(Yes, it's all about me.)

 

Dogs and waves

It's been a while since I checked in with Rox and Shane at Beachwalks.tv.

So I spent some time there.

And found this video.

Love it.

Go slow.

Kind of like Duty Free

Mad Gringo loves wandering through the Duty Free shop at the airport.

In a halfhearted effort to recreate that experience, we are offering FREE SHIPPING for the holidays.

Well, FREE UPS ground shipping to the continental US from now to 12/18/09.

We even decorated for the occasion. Check out the site: MadGringo.com

 

We kept it simple this year. Tropical Shirts. Graphic Tees. Beach Shorts. Beach Caps.

Go slow.

I knew it.

Print this one out and hand it to the family on Thanksgiving.

Alcohol 'protects men's hearts'

I think you should test those findings. Wearing the Michelada Tropical Shirt.

And nothing else.

Neckties prey on the weakest in society

(Big Island of Omahahu, NE - November 19, 2009) This just in: your doctor's necktie wants to kill you.

Don't believe me? Visit the esteemed Wall Street Journal to check the facts:

Nothing to Sneeze At: Doctor's Neckties Seen as Flu Risk

Mad Gringo always knew there was something up with those doctors.

Who would you rather get medicine from:

Dr Marcus Welby? Or Dr Patch Adams?

Yeah. I think his shirt is cool too.

Print that article out. Take it with you to get a flu shot and pin it to their bulletin board. They won't mind. They'll just think you're another pharmaceutical rep.

If they only knew.

After that, visit Mad Gringo and check out the new shirts and tshirts. Find one you like and use our 10% off  coupon to save money for your holiday shirt. (NEWSHIRT) Or visit your local Mad Gringo retailer and put in a pre-order.

Mad Gringo swears it will arrive free from H1N1.

Go slow.

It's another tequila sunrise

It may be a little early in the week for that title to hold true, but a little Patron never hurt anyone.

Go slow.

MG

There's no app for that

After this hurricane passes, we should meet in Key West. 

Like the commercial says. 

I'm a shill for the Florida Dept of Tourism. You got me.  

Meanwhile, the magic continues on the Big Island of Omahahu.

Go slow.

Something old, something new

Well - something new at least.

Since you're here, tell me what you think about these 4 Holiday shirts that will be shipping.

First up, the 12/23/2012 in Midnight Blue. (12/23/2012 - the Mayan calendar end of the world. Yep, this is the shirt that everyone will be wearing when the heavy stuff comes down. I've pre-ordered millions to make sure we have enough) It comes in Sunrise Orange too.

 

What about this one? The El Chapin. It's about time I started making a shirt that featured the legendary Pineapple Skull and Crossbones Logo. On a Sunrise Orange background no less.

We're tossing in some Mad Gringo solids this season too. And they are everything you would imagine. Almost classy, but messed up enough to cause a casual observer to note, "looks like you had a laundry accident." You can reply by telling them, "I never launder. Or shower. Or whatever."

This comes in Midnight Blue, Sunrise Orange, and Red Dirt.

 

One last button up shirt for you to peek at. The Michelada. Named for the drink that I thought I discovered, battled and conquered. The swirls are what were in my eyes when I perused my camera phone the next day. (who thought it would be a good idea to give me a camera phone?)

 

And a sneak peek at one of the Tshirts we're releasing too. Hmm. . . let's see what you think of this computer generated pic. (the tshirts are much softer in person) It's the Mad Gim Banquet which poses the question: Is Gim skinny because he eats skeleton fish or is Gim a skeleton because he, um, didn't eat the fish. Whatever. You know what I mean. This shirt will come in Mustard, Brick, Blue Jean and Orange.

That's what I have for you.

Hopefully that wasted a few minutes from your work day. We need to get that time wasted metric up, remember?

Go slow.

Naps in the news

Mad Gringo's need sleep. 

Lots of it. 

Some mad gringo's fly planes: 

Northwest pilots insist they were not napping

(I know it says they weren't napping, but come on. It's cold up there.) 

And here is another reason to move to Australia:

Employers wake up to idea of power naps

You'll have to head down under for that benefit, especially if you live in New York State.

Mad cave bust in Albany

(Another reason not to take a government job)

And a beautiful sunrise from Oracoke Island, NC:

One last thing. All of our stuff on the madgringo.com website is on sale. 

Don't get caught napping. 

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Go slow.
