Have you discovered Daucourt Martin’s Drink Pink Celebration full of pink drink recipes yet? If you haven’t visited the site yet, you should.

The drink recipes that you’ll find on the site are made with X-Rated Fusion Liqueur. This is an ultra premium French vodka fused with Provence blood oranges, Brazilian mangos and passion fruit. Sounds tasty doesn’t it?

I also discovered that they are having a contest on the site where you could win prizes worth $200. It’s easy to enter. Visit the site for more information.

“This post brought to you on behalf of Daucourt Martin Imports”

A bit of funny math helped James Wilberg win the title of top liar. His winning quip: “There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who are good at math, and those who are not.”

Wilberg, of Franklin, beat 300 other liars from 14 states and three countries to become “World Champion Liar for 2006.” His prize is a parchment certificate from the Burlington Liars Club, which sponsors the annual contest.

The club got its start in 1929 when Burlington journalist Otis Hulett and Manuel Hahn fabricated a news story about a lying contest between the Burlington police and fire departments in which the winner the police chief, who denied ever telling a lie.

Hulett closed the club in 1979, and the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce revived it the next year.

Six other submissions received honorable mention this year:

_ Garth Seehawer of Amberg: “He made the grandkids a telephone of two tin cans and a string. They thought it was great at first, but they threw it away after the 10th or 11th telemarketing call.”

_ Thomas Binder of Sheboygan: “There were so many political yard signs up during the last election, he accidentally voted for Shorewest Realtors.”

_ Rick Schaaf of Walhalla, N.D.: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. But if you grab it by its ears and hold its snout in the bucket long enough, it will either drink or learn to breath through its eyes.”

_ Bruce Zonow of Wisconsin Rapids: “The winter in northern Wisconsin was so severe last year that I was able to sublet the basement of my ice fishing shanty.”

_ Ellen Everts of New London: “Her friend is so cheap that when she wakes up in the morning, she looks under the bed to see if she lost any sleep.”

_ Jim Blazek of Racine: “My wife had so many magnets attached to the refrigerator during the winter months, causing it to run backwards. We now use it for a heating appliance.”

I’ve never been much of a better but I do follow Football, baseball and hockey games and occasionally enter into friendly bets with friends. I do know a lot of people that bet seriously on games, well on just about anything really. I guess it can be addictive, and maybe I’m just lucky that it never caught on too much with me.

I did find a site that I’m told is one of the oldest sports handicapping websites online today. Jimfeist.com offers Football Picks and full game analysis on all major games and sports including basketball, football, hockey, baseball, horse racing, golf and many more. Free picks are offered daily as well in order to showcase the handicapper’s talents at calling the game’s winner.

Jimfeist.com has everything you need to stay ahead of the game. There are several sections to the site including scores and stats, Proline, Sports Picks and even contests - there are four active contests right now. You can also get workbooks and magazines, sports schedules, schedule updates, league reports, plus information from Linetracker.com and OffshoreConnection.com.

I know I’m going to have to tell a few friends about this site so they can get their sports picks. I’ll probably never see them anymore once I tell them about this site ’cause they’ll be too busy hanging out on it doing all their sports betting.
