Now I know how Al Gore must have felt.

In a stunning (to me) result, the Swirl Girls narrowly defeated the Barley Boys in Saturday’s Beer vs Wine Challenge at Cooks Inc. of Abacoa. Initial polling reports tell us the voting was very close, but that the wine was the winner in 3 out of the 4 courses. I would like to congratulate the SG’s on a robust and valiant effort in this competition.

But I am not willing to concede just yet.

Let me stress these are preliminary results which must be poured over and closely examined by my team of attorneys, who are at this moment flying in from all parts of the country and will parachute from their planes before setting up our Contest Challenge Crisis Center. There is compelling circumstantial evidence of irregularities in the process indicating something may have been amiss in this contest right from the start.
For example:

1. The event was held in Palm Beach County. Hello!!??
2. A former PBC elections official was allegedly seen at the Post when the ballots were created.
(I KNEW it!)
3. Several senior citizen voters at Cook’s Inc. wrote in “Pat Buchanan” as the winner of all 4 courses.
4. Many beer lovers waited a long time before receiving their samples, while the wines were poured first. Some were never able to cast their votes!
5. The Swirl Girls may have used subtle Jedi mind tricks to influence the voting.

These are just some of the disturbing allegations we’ve received in the days following this momentus contest, and we can make…come up with more in the next couple of days as our investigation intensifies. Let me stress I am not making any specific accusations against ANY of the Swirl Girls at this point in time, (just implying them) and assert the Barley Boys may have good reason to whine about these results.

In fact, according to MY taste buds, the beer was the clear winner in 3 of the 4 delicious courses served, and my taste buds don’t lie my friends. Chef John Carlino of Cooks Inc. and team did a fabulous job explaining and preparing each course, and if you haven’t been to this place yet, make a reservation today. It is seriously good food.

But don’t count us out just yet!

    Please stop! Newspapers are dying, and this is the CRAP we get?

    Can we please have writers working on real stories instead of spending time writing this fluffy drudgery?

      Alright Mr. Grumpy… we’ll stop making people enjoy life and having a good laugh over some witty journalism. In short, we’ll all turn into YOU. That aside… have you ever noticed that wine lovers refuse to see anything but wine, while beer lovers are open minded about anything of the fermented kind? This little fact could have had something to do with the results… ;)

    Hey Stop, you are a crumudgeon! Don’t we read about enough real terrible stories EVERY day. Lighten up you old fart.
    Beer rules!

    Dear Stop,

    Fluffy drudgery? CRAP? If all you want to read about is shootings, robberies, and who just got arrested recently, there is plenty for you to chose from elsewhere on this site. But YOU made the effort to come to this part of the web site and state your opinion. I’ll have you know the writer of this drudgery spent the better part of his morning coming up with this crap and stands by it 100 percent. He also doesn’t get paid for doing so. It’s supposed to be fun, stop, and no, I won’t, stop.
